My dearest sister, my heart is heavy for your lose. I will miss our trips to lunch and the movies with Darby and most of all the story of what made the cows soooo mad :-) I am and always will be here for you and the same goes for Jim and Daiva. We love you.    Marion

  Charlene , I had heard Darby was Ill but had no idea of the seriousness. 
I wish I had made time to see him. We grew up together and joined the Navy
together .His  unmistakeable feature was his smile and it seems while looking
through the photo's he never lost it,. Even at the end . He will be missed  I am sure , I know I will. 
    A comfort we all have is that his is only a " thought away" 
     A very happy thought. 

     Thank God for the time he was a part of our lives !
