So sorry that is awesome man had to leave everyone. I know he has gone to be with his father and Buddi. Gonna miss all of his knowledge and advice and no judgements. There are no words to express how I feel. I am truly sorry for the loss of Darrell. He will be greatly missed and will stay in our hearts and thoughts forever. Be pain free and happy playing with Buddi my dear friend.

My hart goes out to the Johnson family. I am so sorry for your loss, I lost my Mom last year. I have found death to leave me with a feeling of helplessness. May I leave you this word of encouragement that has helped me. The Bible says that God or J ehovah hates death; he views it as an enemy. (1 Corinthians 15: 26) He has "a yearning" to conquer that enemy, to undo death by means of the resurrection. He longs to bring back those who are in his memory and to see them live on earth again. -Job 14:14,15. My sincere condolences

Vicky, I am terribly sorry to hear of Darrel's passing, and know that my thoughts are with you. I know firsthand how difficult it to accept a husband is gone.
