My prayer’s go out to the family, I worked with him at both Champion and Sonopress, he was a hard worker and good man.
Dear Hazel, So very sorry to learn about your son. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. If there’s anything I can do for you, please call. I have such great memories of our days working together and every day when we left, you would say ‘I better get out of here and get that boy some supper.’ Thank you for your friendship and I hope God will surround you during the lonely days ahead, as I know it will be difficult for you.
My thoughts and prayers are with Darren’s family at this difficult time and may god comfort them and help them through. Darren became my nephew by marriage and that was a great addition to my family because he was always so loving and kind and such a good man. I thought the world of him and have many fond memories of him. Darren touched many people’s lives and will be greatly missed but never forgotten. He will always be my nephew and fondly remembered. My Dear Nephew may you rest in peace. your michigan family will hold you in their hearts and think of you often. We will never forget the good times, and all the joy you brought to our lives. Love Aunt Carrie and the rest of your michigan family.
