Hi DeAnn,
I am thankful I was able to know Darren. At church Sunday the preacher talked about death and life and something he said made me feel better about death. It was....We are spiritual beings having a human experience on our journey of life. Some have a longer human experience than others, but those who believe in God live on through their spiritual journey. Who knows what Darren is doing on his journey now, but I know it is great!!

I was only a friend; to you all who are family I pray, I can't imagine being in your shoes. His legacy will live on forever. What an amazing 15 year old hero! You all are in my thoughts and prayers!

Just checking in. I have a box beside my bed with some of Daniel's things. I like to have them near. His clothes are in the attic. I'm going to take your idea of making a quilt with them, if I can bear to go through them. I know Darren is excited to be with his grandpa, I'm sorry for you and your grandmother though.. Thinking of you and your sweet new baby.

I wanted to tell you all about a story Chris told me this weekend. I thought Darren had told them all, but i missed this one. Chris said one night they were out running around (with a few other boys including Parker) and they saw a deceased racoon in the road that was not messed up. Chris said they then remembered seeing an old vacuum cleaner in a dumpster behind McDonalds, so they picked up the racoon and went and got the vacuum. He didn't tell me whose house they did this to, but he said they put the racoon up on the porch and leaned it up so it was in a standing position, he said they then put its hands (or paws) on the vacuum like it was vacuuming and rang the door bell and ran!!! He said they watch the porch light come on, but couldn't see the people that answered the door. I asked him if he though those poor people could hear them laughing from the distance. I laughed so hard i about cried, i could just see those boys sitting that poor little racoon up on someone's porch, but hey no one got hurt so it wasn't a bad thing-very funny--- what a mess those boys were!!! i dont know anyone else that would think to put the racoon and vacuum together!!!

We had the Tulsa State Fair show this past weekend and while sitting around on the show boxes, we really missed Darren being with us, he was always so much fun and always up to something- we miss him bunches!

hi all, I just went by to see Darren, just to say hi and let him know how much we miss him and love him. Looking out from his place you can see several miles, through the wheat field, the hills and it is so pretty, and i always think how beautiful it is where he is. I just want all of his family to know we are always thinking of him and remembering the delight he brought into our lives. Thank you so much for letting him stay with Chris and hang out, We know it had to be hard to share him and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing him into our lives. He taught us the most important lesson of our lives, which is how valuable life is and to live each day to the fullest, the small things dont matter. Thank you Darren, we miss you and love you forever. May GOD bless your family in every way. We will see you in heaven... Darren loved you all, mom, dad,Robert, grandmas, grandpa, aunt lori, elliots, he always gleamed when he talked about each of you. And as we all know Darren loved to talk, it was never quite when he was around!!!!!which we enjoyed so much.

Dear DeAnn, Robert and Race,
You both are probably glowing with love for Mr.Race! I hope your getting lots of rest. I was 38 when I had Brian and shortly afterwards turned 39! I wouldn't change anything except for NO CANCER! We think of you guys often.
We aren't suppose to get our truck back from Trick My Truck until a week before Christmas! That is what they are pushing for. We hope that our thoughts come across in some way for others to see these beautiful children! We really have no idea what it will be like. I hope on our way home we can swing thru Clinton!
Thanks for checking in on us. We've had a couple of really special things happen and Rudy and I are both scared to death about these test. He will be there Wednesday with the MIBG!
Give many hugs to Race and Robert!
Love you lots,
Briscoe Gang

Sand Fleas
written by Susan Larson
“The death of a child takes you places you’ve never been before, not only in terms of emotions, but in terms of awareness of all that is. I liken the experience to playing on the shore with your friends and complaining about an occasional bite from a sand flea. It’s painful and annoying, but at least everyone else understands how you feel when you’re bitten.
Then one day, a wave grabs you and pulls you out into the ocean where you are bitten by a shark. You feel pain you never imagined could exist. And you’re alone in unfamiliar territory. When you get back to shore, you try to explain your pain to your friends, but the worst pain they can imagine is being bitten by 1,000 sand fleas. That’s all they know. There is no way to explain it to them.
But it’s not just the pain you can’t explain. While struggling under the water you’re suddenly aware that there is infinitely more to life than what we see on the shore. You see the ocean floor with coral reefs and rock formations, things you had never before imagined. You have tapped into the vastness of creation to a higher degree. And again, there is no way to adequately describe this vastness you see and feel. You have nothing to compare it to.
You have a true sense of a greater dimension, and you know that the loved one you miss is out there. You also know your loved one is not lost, but has only gone before you to a place more beautiful and vast than those on the shore could ever imagine. Yes, you still get annoyed with the sand fleas, but you now realize how trivial they are. And even if your friends don’t understand you, you know there is Someone greater out there who does.”

Yea how exciting. I am so galde things went well. Yes I do beleive that Darren had something to do with his early arrival. But what a wounderful way to celebrate it but by a gift from one son Darrren to his brother Race. It had to be from a higher power that our children were born early for a reason. Had it not been for Madison 3 weeks earlt Cameron would not have gotten to meet her. We both know all works for a reason. I know this was for the good that Little Race is here with you now. Congrats!!! I cant wait to see pics...
Your in my thoughts and prayers daily.

I find myself thinking of Darren again and wanted to let you know there are many of us who will always think of him and remember him. I saw his flowers were gone the other day too. When the wind blows hard or there has been a storm i usually drive through to make sure his stuff is okay. I saw the flowers were missing, but could not see them anywhere, so i dont know what happen. Sometimes i see the guys that work there going around picking up flowers that have been blown off and putting them in the back of a gator, i dont know if this is what happen, but will keep an eye on things and watch since i drive by there everyday going home. We all miss Darren so much that words can't express it.

I cant believe that it will be a year tomorrow..its been a rough year without him here..its hard not having someone to break awkward silences,or someone to cheer you up after you've been in trouble, or someone to make you laugh when you dont even feel like smiling.I've been thinkin about him a lot lately. One time him and Mason D. rode w/me and my family to a basketball game and him and mason kept making fun of my hair so when we got there i took it down and darren put his arm around me and said "i like it better that way" and played with it the rest of the night. Mason and i still say that phrase to this day. Just a little story that came to mind.i will be praying for you tomorrow and the weeks to come.

Hey DeAnn,
Yesterday I was cleaning my room (i know a rare occasion)and i was goin through a buch of old papers and i found the reciet from Darren's Yearbook that i got for you at the begining of this past year. Just thinking about that and how horrible this week was last year it took everything not to cry. I miss him so much. But I can't imagine how much you miss him. I love being able to tell people that i knew this great guy named Darren and tell them his story. I just can't believe that its been a year but im just glad he's healed and happier than he could ever be here on earth. I hope everything is goin well with the baby. I love ya'll and im thinking of you daily!!

you are in my thoughts and prayers!
just a couple of weeks before this time last year darren called me and was like come pick me up tonight and lets go riding around. We stayed out until the last minute to get him to his dad's and get me home at curfew. There wasn't much going on in town but yet we still drove around and around main. Neither one of us wanted to call it a night. I stopped in the back of the baptist church parking lot to talk to some friends. I got out and when i got back in the whole truck smelled like peppermint, Darren had gotten in my purse and helped himself to so gum. I never knew that would be the last time I got to hang out with him from that night on he told me how glad he was we got to hang out and how much he was glad we are friends. We never missed a night saying i love you before we went to bed!.. This story came to mind and i just wanted to share it. He will forever be in my heart!
God Bless!

hi all (again) i was sitting here thinking of all the fun times we had with Darren. Keith had recently told me a story that he had not told me before. He said last year at Butch Brown's July 4th party, Chris and Darren were busy as bee's all day and especially when dark came they were lighting fireworks (Butch's party is out in the country). Well when it came time to come home, they had the 4 wheeler and Chris's old truck and for some reason (not known to me) they had to drive them both back to the house and i guess the headlight was out on the 4 wheeler---Darren ran and jumped into the pickup stating he was driving the truck!!!! (which i can understand since he would soon turn 16 and it is back roads to the house except to cross one highway) Well Keith was watching them leave and left not to long after they did (i guess Darren drove Chris' truck behind Chris riding on the 4 wheeler to make light---I don't really know for sure what those two boys were up to) any Keith had left a little while after them and when he topped the top of a hill he saw red lights flasing everywhere and said he thought oh no, those boys have been caught and i was going to have to get them both out of jail!!! He said as he got closer he realized it was not police lights. Just another memory of those two little toots running around having a good time!!!!!!!!!!

Hi All, I was looking at some FFA pictures and recall a funny incident. We were sitting in our livingroom with Chris and Darren and someone else, but i can't remember who. Keith told the boys to call Mitchell (another FFA member) to ask him something. Darren pulled out his cell phone and dialed the number, he then busted out laughing and held the phone up so we could all hear Mitchell"s mom getting on too him or as Darren called it< yelling at him! I guess Mitchell picked up on his phone< but did not answer it> Within a few minutes Darren is rolling in the floor while he continued to hold the phone up so we could all here Mitchell"s mom "yelling" getting on to him> Thanks to Darren we all got to hear the entire conversation "lecture" between Mitchell and his mom!!! After a little while when the lecture had concluded Darren starts yelling in the phone saying hey Mitchell are you in trouble with your mom!!!! He then hangs up the phone and calls Mitchell again and starts asking him if he was in trouble or if his mom had been yelling at him> Darren and all of us got a big kick out of this and for awhile Darren would ask Mitchell if he was in trouble again>>> just another boring time turned into a fun time thanks to Darren!

LETTING YOU KNOW THAT YOUR THOUGHT OF ON MOTHER'S DAY.KEEPING YOU IN MY THOUGHTS AND IN MY PRAYER'S ALWAYS.
A Mother's Day Wish From Heaven
Dear Mr. Hallmark,
I am writing to you from heaven, and though it must appear
A rather strange idea, I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit, your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother, as this day for her is hard.
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card, from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too, no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands, but oh the tears she’s cried.
I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now, I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me; we still share laughter too,
Memories our way of speaking now, would you see what you could do?
My mother carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me, sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents, trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way, to remind her of her wondrous worth
She needs to be honored, and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.
Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you’ll do your best
I have done all I can do; to you I’ll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in eternity.a

Hi all! I was again thinking about Darren and I still can't believe he is not here with us. We had our FFA Banquet Monday night and missed Darren greatly. The kids did a power point presentation of kids and activities through the year which of course had Darren in the pictures. At the end of the presentation his picture came on the screen and it was dedicated to him. There were many tears in the room. As a Sr. Chris is required to put some of his most treasured awards he has won on display. He did this and in the middle of all of them was his picture of Darren. He has been talking alot about Darren lately and really misses him. I think he will miss Robert greatly when he leaves for college in August, but tells us, that he is coming home to go to the races and work on the car (other than bringing me his dirty laundry!)Well I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of Darren and we love him dearly. I know he is excited about the baby boy!!!

Each candle is a lighted face,
A soul, a time, a life, a place,
Remember each, their smile and grace,
Each one who suffered...each different case.
All in common one thing they share,
Their names left here to make aware,
No longer feeling hidden pain,
Their death in peace...
But not in vain.

Hey DeAnn, I'm so happy that your goin to have a boy i think it will be fun having a baby around! I've been thinkin about Darren a lot lately especially with then end of school comin up and everything. We were enrolling for classes the other day and i was trying to figure out what classes i was goin to take and they asked me what i wanted to be and i have always wanted to be a doctor that deals with kids and since my family and i have been so close to Darren through his treatment and stuff i've always wanted to be someone that could possibly help them so i just thought it would be cool for you to know that i've kinda decided to become a pediatric oncologist. Everyone tells me it will be a hard thing bc of all the emotions but looking at how many people helped Darren though the way and how many friends he made i am totally sure the good will out weigh the hard and sad parts of that profession. I miss him soo much some times and I can't wait for his little brother to be here. I hope everything goes smoothly for ya'll.

I hope this finds everyone well! It just dawned on me you will be pregnant through the summer! I hear it's tough but knowing the bundle of joy afterwards!! I'm so excited!
It's so much fun looking at the other sites and seeing the new babies! NO, I do not want a baby! The only baby I will take is a baby goldfish on April when we have our school carnival!
Think about you two and praying for you! I get so sad when I think about the clinic and I miss it! I loved rubbing little Morgan's feet. Little George crawling up in my lap like I was Grandma! I don't miss MR. Brian getting treatment and being sick! We Love You! Briscoe Gang

I am sitting here thinking of Darren. We miss him so much, we miss him and Chris walking through to the kitchen to get a Dr Pepper laughing and talking about thier latest prank. Before Darren went to heaven I sometimes would sit and think that it would not be long until Chris would head off to college and how i would miss him and Darren. Keith and I had talked about how we would miss the two of them, but hoped that Darren would still come to see us. I remembering how lucky Keith was because he would still have Darren in his class. We were looking forward to keeping him knee deep in cattle to show. I just wanted to let you know how much we love Darren and how special he was to us. I had to smile the other day because I can just see Darren in heaven making Jesus laugh. I also thought he probably asked Jesus to send you twins or triplets. He was (i hate the word was) a wonderful kid, you all did a wonderful job raising him.

Hi DeAnn and Robert. Mason and I just wanted to tell you we are so happy to hear that you are having a baby. What a lucky kid! You have already shown so many people what awesome parents that you are. Mason said he could just hear Darren running into the room talking 90 miles an hour so he could be the first to tell the story. We've been thinking about you alot. Especially around Darren's birthday and Thanksgiving and Christmas. We've missed him more that we could've imagined. We also realized that we loved him more than we had imagined. He gave us many happy memories and although we are sad when we talk about our memories, we can't help but smile and sometimes even laugh.

Hi! DeAnn & Robert,
Lori Shaddon gave me Darren's website address. Hope you don't mind. You did a wonderful job. Darren was a wonderful young man. He made Cory and Tanner laugh everytime they were around him. Cory said Darren was just always great fun to be around. Darren helped Tanner out a lot at Pre-teen Church Camp in June '04 after Cory passed away. Tanner said he did not know what he would have done without Darren there to make him feel better. Tanner thought Darren was awsome.
You and Robert are in our thoughts and prayers. I pray for God to give you strength and comfort and to hold you in his arms each day through this grief journey.
Praying for those children still fighting this terrible disease.

Hi mom : You don't know me and I don't know yow neither, but
We do have things in common. Our precious kids are spending their first X-mas with Jesus in Heaven! My daughter,Arantxa,was born on January 7,2001 very close to
Cameronc birthday. She passed away on Feb.16,05 from the
same beast called cancer. She had a`brain tumor but she was never put in remission. I always be grateful that she did
not suffered and never knew what was going on!
I love to read your journals as they are very inspirational and
very descriptive of a bereaved mother. I have no words to descrive how I am feeling this year without her. She was my
everything! And I will miss her for the rest of my life!
Hoping you do not feel alone in this journey, another grieved mother. GOD BLESS YOU!

Hi DeAnn,
Just wanted you to know I am thinking about you and praying that god will give you the strength to just make it through each day one day at a time. Those days of reality hit hard and you don't think you will survive one more moment without your son. It is only with God's grace and his strength and his ability to "carry you" through those moments that you are able to go on. I know that this is a difficult time but remember our boys are having the most magnificent Christmas ever! I will continue to pray for you in the days ahead.
God Bless and Merry Christmas!

Dear DeAnn and Robert,
I'm sorry someone stole something from Darren's grave. I know at my family plot it happens alot too. I think the maddest I ever got was this year when someone stole Brian's signed cap from Bob Stoops and football from players. They stole it from our front porch and we were home. It took me several days to get over that and to tell the truth I'm still not completely over it. Just lately my aunt's tombstone was broke and it took alot to come up that money. My thoughts are with you all. Love you lots.

DeAnn,
I'm getting around early this morning and had time to get on and see this website before I head off to work. Since we've been working together, you have taught me how precious life is. I'm learning to take each moment and cherish it, even the moments when I want to pull my hair out because my 1 year old has written on the wall with a permanent marker. You've also taught me to live each day to its fullest, to live in the present and not dwell on the future. Like the scripture says..Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will tend to itself. I didn't know Darren, but I would have to say he is possibly my Angel. He had a hand in you and I meeting, and he knew you would share with me the wonderful things that being a mother has to offer! Your in my thoughts and prayers! Love Amber

JUST thinking of Darren and how we miss his laughter. The picture of him at the Ronald McDonald house is so much like him, how he like to goof around and be happy. I am watching his place very carefully to try and help prevent his things being taken. It is so sad this has happen and the little bunny light was so cute and kept a light on for him at night.

Hi All, Again I find myself thinking of Darren. He is such a wonderful person. Many times I wonder what he is doing in heaven. I read a book called 90 Minutes In Heaven, it's about a minister that was deceased for 90 minutes and then resusitated. He talks about what he saw in heaven and it made my soul rejoice. He says he had the best feeling he ever had, it was warm and comfortable. He said he was met by people he knew in his lifetime that had passed away before him. He said his grandfather was there to meet and hug him as well a large crowd of people that were all very happy. He talked about how his great grandmother (I think) was there and no longer was humped over due to her bone problem and how another person he knew had perfect teeth (unlike he had on earth). He tells about the most beautiful music he ever heard and people singing praises. He talks about the beauty of heaven of how it is more beautiful than we can only image. He does talk about the gates of heaven and how beautiful they were and all colors were more vivid than he had ever seen. He tells how all these people started walking with him to what he felt was like the walk to meet Jesus. He tells how happy he was, there was no pain, no illness only warm wonderful love that are beyond our ability to image. After reading this I am still selfish and want Darren back, but at the same time I KNOW HE IS IN THIS MOST GLORIOUS PLACE. GOD bless you all and Darren if you are looking down from heaven, remember we love you and always will.

I am thinking of you today and praying for comfort. Isn't it nice to know that God knows exactly how you are feeling and there is nothing to hide with Him. It killed me Sunday at the Christmas party.....I wanted so badly to go to the Aikman and see all the "older" kids, but I knew my buddies Darren and Justin would not be there. Oh how they will always be missed. I know they are having the best Christmas party ever this year with Jesus. Love you

Hi I wanted to tell you that you are everyday in my thoughts (you really are)everyday. I meet you twice and Darren once but I feel through family connection I know everyone very well. I wanted to say also that people will say just about anything to make you feel better and you are not asking for that. I mean people can say nice things to you but not ask are you better. I know that when anyone loses their child, husband and close family, your life is forever changed and you really have to start a new life , I am not sure people get that.
I know Darren is there with you when you need him and he dose hear you, I believe in this! We will talk to you all soon have a safe Hoilday and know that we love ya here is Austin Texas.

Well,it took me three tries, but I finally read the poem all the way through. I know Darren will have the best Christmas ever celebrating it with "the reason for the season" himself. We'll have a much harder time on this first Christmas without Darren to rattle presents and push for opening gifts early. Who will pass out everyone's gifts? Peppernuts, mom's potato salad, and cranberry salad will all hold new meaning. It'll be hard but we'll still have a good Christmas because we'll be together, and we are family. I love you. Dian

Hi DeAnn,
stopping by to check on you. thanks for sharing about compasionate friends. that is the support group i was referring to. I agree with you about helping others. It is a great way to take the focus off of your own problems as well as reminding us that there are others who face trials of their own. I of course also have a soft spot for the kids with cancer and their families. I received a book yesterday at the luncheon i attended entitled 12 ways to help you get through the holidays. whenever i get a chance to read it i will pass along some of the info. I will continue to pray for you and Robert during the holiday season. I know that one of the things that i have been blessed with is two other children to raise and do not want to imagine what it would be like if I didn't. My heart goes out to you! Hang in there and I will check back soon.
God Bless

Hi to all. I was sitting here thinking of Darren which I do very often. I went to see him today & as I was walking to his place, a skinny long brown looking snake slivered in front of my feet. I am horrified of snakes which Darren was very aware of. I ran to my car that I had parked a little ways down from Darren's place. Normally, I would be in tears from seeing a snake, but when I reached my car, I just broke out in laughter because i could feel Darren laughing at the short fat girl running through the cemetary. It was like he was playing one of his jokes which he loved to do, he was always up to something and laughing. I think that is why we loved him so much, he was always laughing and looking at the bright side of everything. I miss his laughter, I miss everything about him, I miss his stories of what he and Chris had been up to. I miss his freckles and shining eyes. I pray everyday for his family and parents of all children that are ill. He made a great impact on my life & hope I can take what I learned from him to help others.

We both have gone through so much in the last year I personaly dont know how I am making it day by day. I hope you are dealing with it day by day also. I think of you all everyday woundering how you are feeling at that moment. Like you said at one moment you feel fine and the next you dont. I tell my husband I feel like a walking time bomb. I could just break down at any moment and no one knows when it will happen including me. Yikes!! Not to be able to control your life anymore how scarey. Well I better get going.

Hi- good job on the race Robert!
I think about you every single day Deanne. Re: the online group that you attend, there is no right or wrong way to grieve, you have to go with your heart and let yourselves cherish your sweet boy the way you want to.
Take it one day at a time and one day years and years from now, while you still have this pain you will have strength and just know that you raised a great kid and will always be that great kids mom.
Looks like Derek will be working a lot for the holidays and I am disappointed, I was hoping that we could all come there and visit but work will not allow. So we will be home as usual and that’s ok but I just was hoping this would be the year we could come up.
I am still trying to figure out how to get a DVD copy made to send to you of the wedding; once I do I will send it to you.
Take care

Hey, I was working in the motorhome and scraped my arm on a screw. You know how thin my skin is. It started bleeding and I went inside to get a bandage. You know what I am going to say. The bandage I grabbed was one of Darren's that you gave me. Tears flowed. I don't know how you are able to accomplish anything with all the reminders of Darren around you every day. I would be in tears all day every day. I know there are many happy reminders and I hope you can dwell on them without being so sad all the time. Auntie Di

Hi DeAnn,
I believe the poem to be true as well. There are those moments when I somehow sense Justin's presence around me. I'm sure you know exactly what i am talking about. I have to tell you this weekend at the game there were the biggest dragonflies I have ever seen buzzing around. every so often they would fly by and hover right around us. the people in front of us were quite annoyed with their "fly bys" I had to smile because all i could think of were 2 mischievious boys just letting me know that they were having a great time together. anyway, just wanted to say hi and i continue to pray for you as the holiday season grows closer.
God Bless,

I will definatly keep you in my prayers that Darrens stone comes in before Christmas. I know how nice it would be to have it there. I continue to make it daily. I hope you all are doing well and are getting along day by day. May God continue to wrap his arms around you and lead you to a recovery that we will someday understand.

I know you have read this poem before but it just seemed right to share it with you tonight. I love you and think of you every day.

Footprints
One night I had a dream--
I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord
and across the sky flashed scenes from my life.
For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints,
one belonged to me and the other to the Lord.
When the last scene of my life flashed before me,
I looked back at the footprints in the sand.
I noticed that many times along the path of my life,
there was only one set of footprints.
I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest
and saddest times in my life.
This really bothered me and I questioned the Lord about it.
"Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you,
you would walk with me all the way,
but I have noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life
there is only one set of footprints.
"I don't understand why in times when I needed you most,
you should leave me."
The Lord replied, "My precious, precious child,
I love you and I would never, never leave you
during your times of trial and suffering.
"When you saw only one set of footprints,
it was then that I carried you."

I don't know how you will survive Christmas either, but I know you will. Please put up a Christmas tree, Darren would want you to. He will want you to celebrate everyday God gives you as if he were still here with you.

Hey DeAnn!
I saw some shoe polish on my car and it reminded me of all the times Darren shoe polished it... He always found it no matter where it was even if I hid it from him, but his shoe polishing job was distinct I always knew when it was him because it always said LUV YA on the back just to remind me that he did it out of love and not being mean! **Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.

Darren will forever be in my heart! I miss him so much, I can't even imagine how you feel. He was one VERY special guy in my life. There has never been anyone else make such an impact on me. He was so much fun to hang out with, message and talk to on the phone. We always ended up buying the same shoes without knowing, Darren thought that was cool. There are so many memories I wish there were more, but I can't wait to see his sweet lil face in Heaven someday(not near soon enough)!

Hello to all of Darren's family, I just wanted to let you know i still pray for all of you each day. We miss Darren so much. He was so easy to love. I miss his laugh and playing jokes on everyone. I sometimes sit and think what he would be doing if he was here with us now. (he would be driving his truck. Kaleb says he still misses Darren's siren noise that he made and calling the police popo's. Chris said he missed everything, like Darren reaching over and honking the horn when they were driving down the road. Robert's friendship has been a blessing for Chris, he really looks up to him & I know he is with a good person. I have never worried about Chris when he was with Darren and any of his wonderful family. I still go by and check on Darren to make sure his stuff is okay and to just say Hey, Darren what are you doing just as we did before.I then think of the beauty he see's in heaven and in my prayers asked Jesus to give him a big hug for me. We dearly loved him. Love Cathy We really miss him at the stock shows he was so fun to have around and was a good kid you never had to worry about him getting into trouble. (just jokes!!!!!!!!!!!!, he was also busy doing something. p.s. Kaleb said one time when Darren stuck his head out the pickup window and made siren noices they went by a tree and the tree limb caught Darrens hat and the hat got stuck in the tree and they had to stop and go back and get it, they had a really good laugh with that. I can only image some of the other things they did (usually Darren couldn't wait to tell someone what they had done)

Dear DeAnn and Robert,
I was checking in on you guys and sorry to hear about car!
I know what you mean about the signs. If others don't understand so what and enjoy the signs! I lost a brother at the age of 10. Sometimes it seems as though I dreamed of him it's been so long and my dad I lost too but wasn't close to him. My sister was 2 years older and at the age of 32 I lost her in car wreck also. It was very hard for me and I had a miscarriage. I had dreams that were so real. She would visit me and we had some wonderful times while I slept. Then my mom died of cancer when Brian was 2 months old. I missed hers so so much. She was so wise about everything. When Brian was first diagnosed we were in a room at Children's and I cried for her and her strength, knowledge etc........... We had a bathroom door that kept opening and it was so weird! One night while in bed with Brian he was talking to grandma! Girl, I started praying asking God not to take Brian!!!! The next day I spoke to a lady who was different but didn't know my mom was dead. We spoke on the phone a couple of times never mentioned mom. This one night just a few nights after Brian talked to Grandma, she told me that my mother was his guarden angel! I too thought people would think I was crazy but so what, I am! Keep looking for the signs and love each and everyone of them.

Just wanted to say Hi and I can relate to what you said about seeing signs and learning to know they are there and not ignoring them. i think it is because we want more. anyway, I wish you some relief from the pain you feel. even if it is for brief moments because when reality starts to settle in you ask yourself how can this get any worse that what it already has been but yet you feel it is worse and the pain becomes even more intense at times than what it already has been. I'm sorry for the rambling hopefully you can understand. anyway, wanted to let you know i have Justin's website finished it is www.caringbridge.org/visit/justinscott. i will check back in soon!

Hi DeAnn,
It's hard to believe tomorrow will be two months since Darren went to be with Jesus. I know you miss him so much and your heart hurts. I so wish you could still have Darren with you and him be free of pain. I hope someday you will be able to look back and say even out of this God has brought some good. I can't imagine what good or how that could possibly be true; it goes contrary to everything you feel right now. The Scriptures teach that God will use suffering to build character and to purify our faith. Many hugs and prayers your way.
Love Always,

Hello to all of Darren's family, I have had a hard time coming to the site this week because we miss Darren so much. We looked forward to his 16th Birthday almost as much as he did. We could not wait for him to finally get the long awaited driver's license. We could not wait for him to come driving up to the house with that great big grin on his face and twinkling eyes. We miss Darren when Chris comes home with just him in the old truck. Chris was very quite last week & I saw him looking at Darren's pictures or going to the cemetary several times. He considered Darren his best bud, but also his little brother. We really missed Darren at the County Stock Show this year. We were so excited that he was going to be with us at the shows. A lady ran into us a the stock show today (9/10/05) and asked, Don't you have a middle son? Keith & I both considered Darren our middle child. He was so easy to love and a good kid to have around. You never had to worry about Darren getting into trouble or being rude or anything. He was the best kid I have ever had around, we grew to love him more each time he was with us. He had a good family & that is why he was such a good, caring kid. There is a special place for him in heaven. I just am greedy and want him here. We loved him and not a day or hour goes by without thinking about him. I stayed home from work on his birthday and prayed and prayed & told JESUS how wonderful Darren is and how he deserved to wear many crowns in GLORY. Love always Keith, Cathy, Chris and Kaleb Miller

Even though we never met, your Grandma Pam and aunt Dian and I grew up together so I feel I know you. Of course your great grand parents,Leona andBillwere like my parents. I also knew your mom when she was younger. My grandson Dylan was 16 in March. I can't imagine losing him. I know you were a very special boy and will be missed by everyone.
DeeAnn: I have thought about you so much. You have been in my prayers. Love Barb

Darren,
Today has been the toughest day for me yet, since you have been missing from our lives. I miss you more everyday and I am constantly thinking of the things that we did together. I remember when I let you drive my Monte Carlo up to 100 mph. coming home from the lake. You were a good driver and I just wish that you could have got to experience taking a girl out on a date in your own ride. There will never be a minute in a day that you don't cross my mind. I can't listen to the radio without hearing a song that reminds me of you. I miss you and I love you. I can't wait to see you and grandpa again. Dad

Dear Darren: Well, it's finally here, your 16th birthday. I know how you anticipated it. While the plans we made didn't work out, I know you have been celebrating in Heaven. Hopefully you are driving a shiny black truck with a full tank of gas.
This is just one of the many special days we will celebrate without you. However, remember that not a single day passes that I don't have you in my thoughts. I know that with each birthday, special occasion, and holiday, you will be right beside me. Grandma loves you and misses you! Happy Birthday. Love, Grandma Pam

Thinking about you today on Darrens birthday. I am a friend of Jamies, she has kept me updated on how you are doing. I am once again so sorry for your loss. I know that it doesnt help because you want him here with you, but what a wonderful birthday he is having with Jesus. He looks down on you daily and watches over you. He is with you every minute of every day. I am sure him and Cameron are having a blast today celebrating together. Please know there are people out here that care even though we dont know you. God Bless you today and always...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARREN!!! As tears roll down my face I picture Darren celebrating his birthday with Cameron by his side. It must have been very hard to get up this morning and face him not being here. I know I do it day after day and only dread the day in January that will be my turn to live Camerons birthday without him here. You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers. I will be praying hard for you especially today that god puts his arms around you and holds you close to his heart and lets you know that Darren in having a wounderful birthday. I am so sorry you have to go through this. But remeber you are not alone in this life of horror that you seam so alone in somedays. We love you and your family and pray for recovery daily.

Dear DeAnn & Robert, Viewing Darren's site has been a meaningful experience for us. We often delete many items but this site will remain as a memorial to a special young man & his family. Funerals often become vague in memory but not Darren's. It was a completion to a short but important inspiration to so many people. Darren's influence will continue in his spirit. May the Lord bless & keep you.

I know that your sweet Momma is missing you today so badly. She wishes what any Momma wishes that she could be with her boy on his birthday. I am so so sad for your Momma. I am just sitting here balling for your Mom because I know the pain that she must feel. But there is joy to be found we when concentrate on HEAVEN and how glorious it must be for you.

DeAnn,
I am holding you especially close in thoughts and prayers today. I can't imagine what you must be feeling today, but in the midst of your heartache my prayer for you is that you are able to celebrate the most precious life you gave birth to and were blessed with for almost 16 years. I am so glad you continue to update this site as it not only celebrates Darren's life, but it helps others who can so easily get caught up in our owns lives to remember that a part of yours has stopped. I love you dearly and I will continue to pray for the tears that you sow to be turned into joy. I pray that the Lord will comfort you and bring you peace.
Much Love,
Sonya

Memories will be brought back and I won't be able to remind Bubba of them. :'( I am so torn that he won't be able to turn 16 and get his drivers license like he was looking so forward to. I'm glad that you still keep everyone updated on this site. I like to know how you all are doing!

I just had to say how hard it is, getting near to Darren's 16th birthday. I am so glad I let him drive all the way to children's hospital. He loved my car and wanted to take his drivers test in it. I went by the grave site tonight. I was so glad to see his name and I noticed the starbursts and shells. He was looking forward to hunting with Chris and Conley. Whoever put the small glass statue of Jesus holding the hand of a child will never know what that meant to me. I appreciate reading eveyones comments about Darren. His memory will never die. I hope the pain gets better. Love always, Grandma Jane

Hi DeeAnn and all of Darren's family, I was thinking about Darren & wanted to let you know you all are in my prayers everyday (several times). I would have given my arms for him to have had his 16th birthday that he was looking so forward to. (ever since he was 15 1/2 he could tell me to the day how long it was until he got to drive (legally hehehehe). With all the rain lately, I can't help but think of the song about the little girl that wants to go to heaven to see grandpa & ask if Jesus needs another angel to help pour out the rain. I feel like Darren is an angel helping pour out the rain or that it is all our tears of love for him. Darren has seen the face of GOD. But I am selfish and miss him so much. You all did such a good job of raising him, I enjoyed having him around & my heart aches for him. Chris went to see him the other day and stayed there for quite a while. He left Darren some Starburst candy and shotgun shells since they liked to shoot together. I told him we needed to take him a Dr. Pepper to go with the Starburst. Well I am rambling but talking to you about how much we loved Darren helps. Love cathy

I pray for you to receive the much needed strength for each day and also to know that you are normal in everything you say and feel because there is no "normal" or "right or wrong" in greiving. If you need anything or just need a sounding board please email.

Hi DeAnn,
I hope you all had a nice day in OKC today. One great thing is that you will always have your memories of Darren. The Saturday night before he got so sick I have the wonderful memory of giving Darren a BIG kiss on the cheek and telling him I loved him bunches and bundles. He wouldn't let me hug him because his arm was so sore so I was glad to get to kiss him not knowing this night would be my last time I would get to tell Darren I loved him and him hear me saying those words. It's kind of weird how things happen. I walked him to Conley's truck and helped him get in and OH how thankful I am now for this wonderful memory I have. I look forward to seeing you this next week.
Love Always,

I CHECK ON DARREN ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK EVERYDAY JUST TO SAY HI & TALK TO HIM. MEMORIES OF HIS SMILE AND LAUGHTER ARE IN MY MIND THROUGH OUT THE DAY & OF COURSE THINGS REMIND ME OF HIM, LIKE A CEMENT PIG WE HAVE IN THE BACKYARD. CHRIS & DARREN WERE OUT RUNNING AROUND ONE NIGHT, THEY BOTH CAME IN LAUGHING WITH A CEMENT PIG, I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OH, MY GOODNESS WHERE DID THOSE BOYS GET THAT PIG. THEY SAID THEY WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BY THE SCHOOL FARM AND HIT SOMETHING IN THE ROAD WITH A BIG BUMP. THEY STOPPED & GOT OUT AND THERE WAS A CEMENT PIG IN THE ROAD, SO THEY KNOW I AM A JUNK IN THE YARD JUNKIE SO THEY BROUGHT IT HOME TO ME. IT HAD BLACK TIRE MARKS ON IT FOR A LONG TIME . EVERYTIME I SEE IT I HAVE TO LAUGH ABOUT THOSE TWO BOYS RUNNING AROUND HAVING A GOOD CLEAN FUN. I AM SO GLAD THAT CHRIS, MYSELF, KEITH & KALEB KNEW DARREN, WE LOVED HIM SO MUCH & HE WAS SUCH A GREAT INFLUENCE ON OUR LIVES. HE IS FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS. HE WAS SO MUCH FUN TO HAVE AROUND CATHY MILLER

WE KNOW THAT THE LORD HAS COMPLETELY AND PERFECTLY HEALED HIM NOW. THE LORD DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK IN WAYS WE WANT, BUT ONE THING WE KNOW IS THAT "HE MAKES NO MISTAKES". HE SEES NOT ONLY THE BEGINNING BUT ALSO THE FUTURE. WE DO NOT. WE DO HAVE THAT BLESSED HOPE OF ONE DAY BEING WITH DARREN AGAIN AND ETERNITY IS MUCH LONGER THAN LIFE HERE ON EARTH. DARREN IS DEFINITELY A WINNER. HE BEAT US ALL HOME. MAY THE SWEET AND LOVELY LORD JESUS FILL YOUR HEART AND LIFE WITH HIS LOVE, MERCY, COMFORT AND STRENGTH, DURING THE WEEKS, MONTHS AND YEARS AHEAD. IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WHO IS ALTOGETHER LOVELY,

Hello, you may not remember me, but I was the nurse in the Recovery room a little over a month ago that drew the lab on Darren. I'm so sorry about Darren....he is an angel in heaven now watching over you every minute of everyday!! You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

Deanne,
Jane told me about your web site when we were together at McGregor this week end. I just finished reading all of it and looking at the pictures. Darren was a very special young man and loved by so many. Please remember that God loves you and He will help you through this terrible time in your life.
We were at Darren's funeral and were so blessed by the many people there.

Your Mom called last night and said that the benefits at the new job are great. Good for you. Glad you are getting your teeth fixed. We think of you all the time. Hope you are spending a little time with Mom and Dad. I know they get lonesome. Love, Dian

Hello. Have been without my internet connection since I moved...SBC can't install jacks through the attic anymore, and it took forever to get that done by someone else...
Just had a few minutes and thought about checking the website. Wasn't sure if you would still be entering journal messages or not. I think it's great.
Glad to hear you have a new job. You are the best help I ever had and know that anyone you work for will feel the same way. We always thought and reacted to everything in sync...it was so much fun.
I check on Darren at least once a week and love the angel. Mom and Dad are right across the street, you know.
My prayers are with you. It will never be okay, but it does get easier!
Love you guys.

DeAnn, I found your site through Cameron's site tonight and saw your request for suggestions on grief books. Several years ago, I found something on the Good Ground Press website called "Grief Journal" by Linda Lodge Abelson Andreozzi (long name, I know!) She shares her story of the sudden, unexpected loss of her husband (in his early 30s) in a journal-type format and after each entry asks questions and invites the reader to journal about their grief-journey. I have a child with special needs - a precious little girl - and I've had to deal with a different type of grief as I've watched her struggle and anticipate her future struggles. Using this journal, with the author's questions as a guide, I have been able to express feelings, thoughts and emotions that seemed "stuck" inside. I highly recommend it - I'm sure you can find it online by searching the publisher or name.

Hi DeAnn,
I hope your weekend went OK. Our special music today at church was Amazing Grace and I thought of Darren as they were singing. It pulled at my heart at first and then I had happy thoughts of Darren because I know he is in a better place for him even though it hurts not having him here in our place. Good luck tomorrow at your first day of your new job:)
Love Always,

We go up to meet the teacher today. I don't know how much school he'll get to go too. I know our secretary we call her Mrs. B knew Darren from the races will be glad to see Mr. Brian. He's so worried about not having hair. I told him his little head will be covered with lip stick kisses and he rolls his eyes at me. I think about you every day and pray several times a day for you and strenght for you!!!!Love, Elena and the Briscoe Gang

DeAnn,
I know that you do not know who I am, but I have been praying for your family through all your tough trials. I am a friend of Ricki Lea's and that is how we found about your precious son. I just wanted to share a poem with you hoping to make your day.
I ask the Lord above,
to answer my prayers.
That you would come back.
But, that wouldn't be fair.
I now know that you're happy where you are.
Safe in the arms of Jesus,
without any cares.
But I want you to know,
that I still love you so.
And I'll go on living for Him,
Knowing that His light will never dim.
Someday together we'll be,
But, until then, the Lord will take care of me.
So, keep on watching,
It won't be long.
That from this world,
I'll be gone.
Into your arms once again,
Safe from all the worldly harms to come better.

Re: Reading the grief books this is so good to do and it is all how you feel comfortable, some also go to meetings and keep a journal. I think you doing what is the very most comfortable to you is good. I am going to send you a copy of our wedding dvd (been meaning to) so you will have a copy of it and so you can see Darren in some of the shots, he is so handsome! MK

DeeAnn, congratulations on your new job. There are some really neat people in the office at Bar=S & I am sure you will really like the job. I think of Darren many times every day. I stop by to see him everyday on my way home from work. Today I saw the cement pad with the two vases at his resting place. Kaleb asked me the other day what I thought Darren was doing right then in heaven, we both agreed he was up to something & having a good time laughing and carrying on. We love him so, you did an incredible job raising him. One time he told me how proud he was that he had a good looking mom. I thought you should know that, he loved you so much. He was always saying something nice about you, he knew you loved him with all your heart.

I go to the store and they are constantly playing the music from the video. Glad to hear you got the job. I hope you love it. You know Duane and I think about you every day.

I was wondering where to buy the stickers in memory of Darren that I have seen around. Please let us know. I miss seeing you around here but I will run into you a the store on my street I'm sure. You have a new job and will need new clothes.
Love ya and think of all of you often.

Hi Deann,
I read about your son Darren on Christi Thomas webpage. I also experienced lossing a child last September to neuroblastoma. Each day that goes by I'm learning to cope with my lost, but the pain is always tucked into my heart. My son was seven when the angels came and took him. I know that the lord has something very special planned for our son's. I'll continue to check in from time to time to see how you're doing. Hugsforjamall.com

Phila, PA - Monday, August 8, 2005 8:04 PM CDT
DeAnn - this year will be the year of firsts for you without Darren. They will be just as hard to get through as you enjoyed his first year of firsts. I can't even begin to know and understand the pain you are going through, and I hope to God I never will. You will be put through more tests than you know exists and how you come out of them all is up to you. You have true friends of Darren's beside you - how many people would have that? Most kids especially would have already turned and moved on to other things. Find comfort where you can get it - not everyone is as lucky as you, your family, and Darren that can have so much support without joining a club - not to mention the caring and love that has been so freely given. What you called rolling in self pity isn't that at all - but a mother that has lost her child and having a very normal hard time coming to terms with it and the day to day activities/routine that will never be again. I wish you and your family the strength you need to cope and push forward. Saundra (Unger) Melancon

I just heard the news and am so sorry! I would have contacted you sooner had i known. I can say I know how you feel for the most part. I wished no parent ever had to travel this journey of loosing a child but as we both know sometimes this is also a part of life we must face and somehow learn to live with. I know Justin is up there right now showing Darren the ropes and i'm sure they are both up to mischief of some sort. I would really like to get together some time or at least talk with you. my email is listed below. i am trying to get a website together for Justin as well. yes, a little late but still will give me a way to keep people updated and keep Justin's spirit and memory alive. I will let you know when it is finished.
I pray just for you to survive and get through each day one day at a time.
Love,

Dear Darren's family,
I read of your precious son's on Christi Thomas' web. I am so very very sorry for your tremendously unspeakable loss, for all the suffering you had to watch Darren go through. I understand Darren was indeed a fighter and a very special young man. I wanted to share this poem with you all. Hugs from a Mother in Italy.
The Cord
We are connected,
My child and I, by
An invisible cord
Not seen by the eye.
It's not like the cord
That connects us 'til birth
This cord can't been seen
By any on Earth.
This cord does it's work
Right from the start.
It binds us together
Attached to my heart.
I know that it's there
Though no one can see
The invisible cord
From my child to me.
The strength of this cord
Is hard to describe.
It can't be destroyed
It can't be denied.
It's stronger than any cord
Man could create
It withstands the test
Can hold any weight.
And though you are gone,
Though you're not here with me,
The cord is still there
But no one can see.
It pulls at my heart
I am bruised...I am sore,
But this cord is my lifeline
As never before.
I am thankful that God
Connects us this way
A mother and child
Death can't take it away!

He misses Darren so much, we all do & will forever miss & love him. All the kids in the neighborhood miss him. Kaleb, Breydon & Parker were sitting in the backyard yesterday by the flower bed we made in memory of Darren. They talked about how much they missed him horsing around. They walked to the cemetary to take him flowers and chat. Darren was wonderful & I just wanted to let you know how he touched the little kids as well as the rest of us.

Words are not easy and sometimes you don't even really want to hear them. But words about Darren can't come quick enough for you. His service was such a tribute to him!! The service shared his life and his love for Jesus and others in an incredible way. Those are words that you must want to hear. I always enjoyed seeing Darren's sweet smile when our paths would cross at the hospital. He was always a gentle giant to Xander and the other "little" kids. I believe in my heart that Darren and Cameron are having a blast in heaven this very minute. I also know that my mom had to be one of the first to greet them and hug them(and then my dad....and so many others). I pray that your days will become more bearable and that you will find joy in all of Darren's remembrances! Love, Elaine Brown(Xander's Nana)

Dear DeAnn and Robert,
I come to the sight to see if you were still writing. I'm so glad you are. We love you and are praying for all of you. Darren was a great kid. Brian and I talk about him alot. We have two more treatments starting Monday then do test and we will see where we go after test on First week of September. I know all of this is very hard. I want you to know that I was very impressed at the hospital and clinic. There were no cutting up and all serious faces and sad faces with their loss too. I know alot of the nurses were having hard time too! We love you. Lydia has mentioned maybe sometime we could come for lunch and visit sometime. Our prayers are coming your way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't begin to say how much we loved Darren. He was so remarkable. Although he was going through so much he always had a smile & laugh. I will never forget him. The longer we knew Darren, the more we loved him. He was so nice to have around & fit into our family so well. My son Chris loved Darren as a brother. Chris loved spending time with Darren & when they were together they forgot Darren was ill. We all miss him so much & think of him all the time. Sometimes when I can't seem to stop crying I have to stop & remember he is in heaven running, talking & having a good time without illness. I went to the cemetary to see him the other morning, as I began to slow down through my tears a beautiful deer came out of the cemetary & jumped right in front of my car, she then leaped again, stopped & looked back. I stopped my car & thought of Darren. Then two baby deer also leaped across the road. The sun was just beginning to rise as all three deer leap through the tall field grass. It was so beautiful, they seemed so happy & free. I had to believe in my heart that Darren is in heaven, happily leaping through the beautiful sunset with no worries, pain or sorrows. My entire family aches with pain of losing Darren, we loved him like we love our own boys. We will never ever forget him & he will always be in our hearts. Although he was young, during the past few years he did not let cancer ruin his life, he was so active, funny and always up to something---he loved playing jokes on people, joking around and just laughing. He taught me the most valuable lesson of my life, that we must live life to the fullest despite what we are going through & that there is nothing more important than loving our children, family & friends. He was incredible to my son. My son Chris enjoyed working on the race car with Darren & Robert, racing and just having fun. Chris really loves Darren's family. Darren asked Chris to go hunting with him & his Dad, they had such good times together---Times Chris will keep with him for the rest of his life. I have worlds of wonderful stories about Darren & will share more of them as time goes on. Please if anyone in Darren's family needs anything, dont hesitate to call us. We love Darren so much. With Love, Cathy Miller/Clinton, ok

Just a note to let you know again that we love you and
you`re ever in our prayers. Our entire family feels the
pain of Darrens passing, but none of us can say we know how you both feel. We love the picture and plan to have it
enlarged and framed. We continue to pray for both of you.
We know that time will help heal the hurt, but the void
will never completely be eliminated. God bless.
All our love.

October 13, 2002 Darren came up to my then eight year old daughter Courtney as she was crying and not sure how to feel about her mom being married and going on a week honeymoon, Darren came up to her and said it would be ok and he knew how she felt at one time. Darren's words helped her out so much! He knew how great it was to have Robert in his mom's life and he knew that Courtney would feel the same about Derek... it is hard to share your mom when it is just the two of you for so long :-) Darren was and will always be in our hearts. We love you guys!

To family and friends, On the 3rd day of July, Darren and Chris Miller, one of Darren's best friends, helped me get ready for a 4th of July party at my farm. We were really busy most of the late afternoon and he and Chris had a good time. Darren brought his four wheeler and man, did they play with it hard. One of the last memories of Darren, to me was scary, he had taken off on his four wheeler and jerked it onto 2 wheels through the pasture. I threw my hand up to say "Darren, don't do that", but he was already gone, and I thought, Nope, he's having too much fun and let him go. He lived life just like that and we did have lots of fun going to stock shows. I am honored to have known him. Your friend, Butch Brown

Dear DeAnn,
Im not sure how many years I have know darren but I know it has been a long time. I just recently found out about how bad things were getting. It tore my heart into pieces. Im sure everyone has good memories with Darren and they will cherish them forever. I know I will. All the times at the Races.He was one of the most caring people I knew. I would talk to him on the computer all the time and when I would ask how he was doing and he would always say im doing just fine and ask about my dad and seen if he was gonna race that coming weekend...and we would argue over wich of our dads was gonna win.I just wanted to let you know that Darren has touched my life by being so strong, he truly is a hero and mine at that. I will miss him very much, but he will always be in my heart. I was a very lucky person to get to know him. When darren was in the hospital this past week I cryed more than I have all year, and I prayed for him more than I have prayed in a long time. I just hope the things with Robert and my dad wont get in the way! I know things were rough between them at times and I am very sorry for it...I just want yall to know you're family will be in my prayers!

Dear DeAnn,
Im not sure how many years i have know darren but it seems like forever. I just recently found out about how bad things were getting and i thought about it often. Im sure everyone has good memories with Darren and they will cherish them forever. I know i will. He was one of the most caring people i knew. Just about the time my dad found out he was going to be paralized was about the time Darren began his battle with cancer, i would talk to him on the computer all the time and when i would ask how he was doing he would say just fine and ask about my dad and how he was doing. I don't know why but that amazed me because not many people cared about what me or my family was going through, but he did and that meant soo much to me. I just wanted to let you know that Darren has touched my life by being so strong, he truly is a hero and mine at that. I will miss him very much, but he will always be in my heart.I just wanted you to know that i care about Darren's family as much as he cared about mine. You're family will be in my prayers.

I just wanted to let you know that me and darren have been good friends since around 7th grade. Every year at school, falls creek, pre-teen camp, and many more places we would laugh so hard it hurt. darren was a amazing guy and i was lucky to get to know him. When darren was in the hospital this past week i cryed more than i have all year, and i prayed for him more than i have prayed in a long time. I remember in 1st hour darren would always come in and talk about his truck, the radio, what he wanted to do, and i wanted to see his dream come true. I am going right now to see his body. Im glad he isnt suffering anymore. He really was a great guy i dont think anyone could not like him. i'll be praying for you and conley and the family.

Just thinking of when Darren and Parker where detained by the Clinton Police!! Parker in the trunk of the car; backing out, ever so slowly, and Darren standing in front of the car( in the headlights) trying his best to keep those hands out of his pockets!!! No real BIG BUST just two little guys, one with diabetes and the other with cancer! ( as Darren hollered out to the officer when asked: BOY!! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU!?!) This always makes me smile.
Thinking of you all at every moment! Keep loving each other!

I found your website through Cameron's guestbook.. I'm friends with his mom Jamie, and thank you for the added prayers for Cameron and his comfort.. I know they really do appreciate it too.. My prayers and thoughts go out to your family, and I know GOD can and will work miracles throughout your family & Darren. He can provide so much peace we can't explain it. Keep your faith high and your eyes to the Lord. God Bless.

Hi, Darren and Family!
Hello from Birmingham, Alabama. I am a member of the Neuroblastoma Web Support Group and saw your posting. I love to check out everyone's web pages. I also know how fun it is to get messages from people. I wish everyone that visited Davis' page would leave us a message, too. My son, Davis, is five years old and was diagnosed stage IV, high-risk, last fall. Not too much longer to the big 16 birthday! Keep practicing your driving and keep fighting hard!
Take Care
