Lots of great family childhood memories---especially at Mama Overstreet's in Village Mills. Enjoyed dancing at Daryl's French High Senior Prom. When family visited Daryl and J.N. always locked the car and hid the keys and ran from Aunt Gladys as she threatened them. We are a Blessed family and will miss Daryl very much. Blessing to all of family with love.

I haven’t seen Eller in years. We went to Fireman class together in 1977. Really enjoyed his company. Rest In Peace Daryl?
