I miss you so much already. I don't know how I am going to live without you, but know that I have to for our boys. I know your Mom and Dad were waiting for you with open arms and trust that you made your journey to Heaven. You are my heart and soul and I will never ever ever stop loving you.
Big D you will always be remembered in our hearts. We love you and will miss you always. We will do our best to take care of your wife and boys.
D you will always live in my heart as you have since I met you.
To my favorite Cousin, Derrell Robert, Distance may have kept us apart physically but our bond could move mountains. Life will be dull without you! I will always remember all the good times and laughes we shared! You were definatly one of a kind! Save a seat next to you and wait for me!
Even though you will be missed terribly physically here on earth, God has called you home to help with those who have gone before us. I know you are no longer suffering and are looking down on those of us left behind. Do your best to keep your Mom and Dad, Memah and Papah, Uncles Derrell, Tommy and Ollie in control until the rest of us join you at the gates of heaven. Your smile and "I Love You" will be cheerished in my heart forever. I love you my "little cousin" and now you can ride your motorcycle FOREVER.
D-Rail, Even though I have only known you a short time, you made me feel like family. I have known Kelly for 20+ years and you made her one happy woman. We will all be here for Kelly and the kids. You just shine your light on them and know that they love you always. I will miss seeing my boyfriend (our joke), but I know you are no longer in pain and that you will watch over everyone that you have touched. See you on the other side one day.
What do you say in a moment like this? So many thought, feelings and emotions. You are going to be missed more than any amount of words can express. You are loved by so many and have touched the lives of so many people. You make peoples days better with just a smile and a hug. You always have been able to brighten a room. I will always remember all the smile, laughs, and sweet memories. Look over all of us down here until the day comes that we all see each other again. We all have a special Angel up there now with a smile that touches the heart and makes the day better. Love ya bunches my sweet friend.
(ps...when you find my sissy give her a hug from me)
I will always remember D's big smile/grin, and that laugh that only he had. He was never blood kin but he always claimed me as his ole uncle Sam. We shared a many laugh together and he always made you feel so very special if he liked and trusted you. I am thankful I got to spend little time with him, his dear wife Kelley, and her parents last sunday afternoon at the hosp. I know he is in the hands of the Lord now and was glad to have called him a friend! Uncle Sam
Drail, we miss you so much already. you could always make me laugh and the baby really loved you too. I will be sure to tell her about her uncle D. Keep a watch over us and know that one day we will all be together again. I love you.
D, I don't know what to say. You will always be in my heart. I have known you 20+ years. You tried to teach me how to play pool. You took me into Christian's where I meet my friends and the father of my child. For that I am grateful. I will always cherish the memories we have together. Watch over us Bubba. Love you

Derrell was a dear friend and next door neighbor. There was nothing he wouldn't do for me. He watched over me and my home which was comforting for me. He was a talented artist. I am so saddened for Kelly and the boys. They were a sweet family. "You will be missed Derrell"

Brother,
Even though your gone, your memory will remain in our hearts. Your smiling face, loving ways and good humor will never fade. We will think of you each and every day.
The good times we had will be in our memories forever. So when we start to get down and really want to cry, we'll just think of the all the fun times we had and not wonder why this had to happen.
I'll just leave it at that and know you're better now. You're in a better place with God, Mom and the rest of our family.
Please know that we love you and we will miss you soooo much.
So until we meet again, You & Mom watch over us and make sure we're okay and we will see y'all again someday.
We love you,
John, Sheila, Matthew, Ashley & Justin

You will be missed. I am glad that you have been part of my best friend's life and have been a father to her boys. I am grateful for the love that you have given to Kelly and the boys. You always made me and my family feel comfortable when we were around. Thank you for all that you have done to make this world a better place. I will be here for Kelly and the boys as will many others.

I only learned of the passing of D-rail just this morning. My heart is hurting for Kelly, the kids and D-rail's family; he was taken much too soon.
D-rail didn't know a stranger and I liked that quality in him. Although he was only a neighbor of mine, he always made me feel as if we'd always been life-long friends. D-rail was down-to-earth, honest, loving toward his family. I am going to miss our conversations.
Kelly - you are in my heart, prayers and thoughts.
On behalf of my entire family, I want to thank you and your staff for your excellent and caring service.
Thank you for all you did to make our mother's funeral special, dignified, and easy for us.
I just can't express to you enough how much we appreciated the kindness and professionalism my family experienced with you and your staff.
Thank you for treating my beloved mother with honor and respect all throughout the process.
Our family will be forever grateful to the owner and staff at Beresford Funeral Services for the excellent services they provided to our family upon the death of our loved one. Everything went smoothly. The planning was easy with everything needed for the funeral provided on sight at reasonable prices with no pressure to spend more than planned. They were flexible with our personal plans, very kind, and considerate from beginning to end. We would definitely recommend Beresford Funeral Services to anyone in need of funeral services.
