A friend indeed. My sincere condolences to the family. πŸ™πŸ½

You were always just as sweet and humble as you could be. Our special connection was cooking, flowers & keeping our yards pretty. The moment I got the news I went to work on my flowers as hot as it was.... I still here your voice telling me "Sunshine God Has Been So Good to me baby and I pray you always keep him first & keep that baby in church, and baby if I go tonight I love you your beautiful and continue to be a great wife and mom". But be sure I get to see you again on the other side..... I'm going to remember every conversation & every contagious laugh, this ain't goodbye it's "See you later" bc we don't say bye.

Darris was not only my classmate but a fellow church and choir member. My favorite song that he sang was "I Learned How to Lean and Depend on Jesus."
