Laura, we have fond memories of Daryl when he worked at Maranatha...and it’s been sweet to see you both recently.... We pray the kids and you are surrounded by lots of love, peace and comfort. ( We would be at his service but we are in Illinois waiting for a baby to be born). Love to you, Don and Gail Winchell
Laura, so sorry to learn of your loss.
Bette Naruszkiewicz
I am so sorry for your loss Laura
We are thankful for the many years Daryl and Laura spent as servants at Calvary Church. We are so sad that he has had a number of years of great difficulty, but thankful that he is now with the Savior he loved. He has raised some very special children who have been so kind and caring to our grandsons and many other children. I think both he and Laurel have carried on their legacy of loving kids to their children!!! Thank you to Nathan and Kelly for carrying this love on to so many kids. We are praying for you all...Marty and Mindy and family. You are loved..
At Calvary, Daryl was a faithful, involved, unselfish, caring member involved in numerous ways including working with kids (AWANA), leadership roles, etc. His quiet competence, consistency, and encouragement were an example to everyone. Pastor Bill Rudd
I didn't know your husband except through our conversations about him and your wonderful family. I am very sorry for your loss as he sounded like a wonderful husband and father. Praying for you and your family as you adjust with your wonderful memories.
