We shared a lot of memories our entire lives. You will be missed! Our Condolences to Terry, Carol and Bruce and your family.
William Lavern and Carolyn Williams...

As your hearts are hurting in this time of loss, we pray you'll find comfort in the love Jesus has for each of you.

My heart goes out to the whole family as Dariel (dad) was loved by many who knew him. He treated me like one of his own daughters. I will miss him dearly. I remember him telling me once that one of his grandchildren had asked him who that girl was in the picture he displayed with his other family pictures his answer was that is my other daughter the one I adopted.  This made me so proud to feel like a part of his life as he was a part of mine for so many years.  I always called him dad and he always treated me like a daughter giving me advice as well as giving me an ear full of disciple.  He touched so many lives and I know some of the kids that grew up with his children will always remember him as dad as he was like a dad to so many of us kids. And so many still call him dad to this day. So you see he was a wonderful man and I know his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren will be lost without him. I can't say enough about this man and if you knew him well then you understand words have not been made to describe this man and the love he has given to others.  Dad God brought home one of his great creations.  I look forward to seeing you again.  I love you dad may God be with your family as they morn your passing but be comforted to know you are reunited with mom and they will be reunited with you some day.
