    I consider Darrell and his family some of my closest friends even though our paths crossed only a few times after we moved to Alabama. My parents thought and spoke so highly of him and his family. I will always remember the ride to their house after the Kokomo tornado. And the pizza after. And the music and the laughter. Special times. My mom was so happy to see them at her 80 party. They are now having joyous times in heaven and awaiting new arrivals. One more reason to live for Jesus and reunite with them one day. My condolences and prayers for the family. God bless and keep you.

    I’ve been friends with Mr Huff’s son Tony since I was in 3rd grade. So many fun times and good memories being at their house for sleepovers and meals. Mr. Huff was a saint. Always taking us places and teaching us things and always nice 24/7. So glad he is in heaven and enjoying his reward. Prayers to the entire Huff family. All great people. Really cherish all the fun times and memories being around them all. Growing up down the street from them was a real blessing.
