My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
to karla erin and family you have my sympathy in the loss of husband father and grandfather. he will be greatly missed.
My family and I are sorry for you and your family’s loss. Daryl is a great guy and one of the guys that introduced me to hunting. He took Eric and I out antelope hunting to Canota Basin south of Wall, SD when we were freshman in high school. I think we went out in an old LTD and it rained alot. We met the whole Hardy clan out there. Eric and I stayed up late and go into some trouble – ha! Daryl also took us pheasant hunting at the Hodorite Colony. Great guy and I know he and Eric are catching up on old times right now.
Love – Matt and Chidawn Rippentrop (Hot Springs, SD)
