Dear Mrs. Tippin, As a member of Daryl's High School class, I remember him so well-his beautiful smile and friendliness. You did a tremendous job raising a wonderful and beloved son! Five of us, including Daryl, went off to Hanover after graduation with such dreams and excitment... May God embrace you and his children and grandchildren at this tender time. Keep the Son in Your Eyes and believe that Daryl is seeing those Eyes right now, Jean (Gehr) Landauer
