I am so sorry to hear this.  When I moved to Fredonia (for a couple years) after Lewis passed away, I bought my house from Darryl. He and his wife were such good people and we remained friends even after I left Fredonia.  Carol is a sweet person and of course I first met him when he was married to Jessie many years ago.
