The whole Bland family has lost a part of our extended family. Darrell has been with our family for as long as we can remember.
Whenever we saw Mond we saw Darrell they where so close. They became friends when they were around 5 years old and remained close for almost 55 years. Our love and prayers go out to his only son and the whole Nelson family. There are no words to express our grief at this time. We will truly miss this fine young man.
