My prayers are with the Bain family. I really enjoyed my time with them in the 1970s. Darrell and I were the best of friends when we were going to Circle Drive Baptist Church in our teens. I have very fond memories of Darrell and his family. I just found out today about Doyle's passing (5-9-2013), I wish I had found out sooner. My email is [email protected].
Love you guys,
