My sincere condolences to the family of Darren Yellowhair – May you find comfort in your loving memories, beautiful pictures and in recalling the many talents of Mr. Yellowhair. God did not purpose that mankind suffer and die and has promised that a time will come when no one will say “I am sick” (Isaiah 33:24) Our loving Creator has promised that soon pain and death will be no more (Revelation 21:4). The Paradise that was originally promised for the earth in the Garden of Eden will be fulfilled. (Psalm 37:29) Please be comforted by Bible promises of a hopeful future (John 17:3).
Dominic and Monica Norse says
Nadine and kids, may the comfort of Maheo be with you. Darren loved you all very much. He always told stories of your children and was very proud of each of them. Please know that your family will continuously be in our prayers. He will always be known as a hard working man full of teasing and good laughs. He will truly be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
Marina Mitchell says
Nadine, I am so sorry that your husband has gone on before you. You wonder, “How will I be able to live without him?” Just know that even if his physical body is no longer here, his spirit lives on and is with you all the time. Talk to him when you feel down, he hears you. When that time comes for you to be called home, he’ll be there waiting for you. He’s in your future Nadine and not your past. God bless and keep you and your family. Peace be with you,
Marina Mitchell
