My thoughts and prayers to Diana and the rest of Darren's family. I attended La Plata High School and graduated with Darren in 1990. I will always remember Darren's smile and "hello, Laurie!" greeting, every time I saw him in the halls or a couple of classes we had together. Honestly, I recall Darren as the nicest, most real person that I went to school with. He will always be a positive memory from my high school years.
