My deepest sympathy to the Goodwin family. I pray that God will give you peace and comfort during this difficult time and may you rest in the reassurance that Darnell is now with our Heavenly Father. You still have a piece of Darnell here on earth to enjoy, his son, Quintin (my precious nephew)! God bless you all ~
