Daren ran our service for a celebration of life. One of our sisters passed and we all felt it would be too difficult for us to get through it. Our concerns were, hiring an outsider how we would make sure it stayed personal. Daren literally spoke to each family member we requested and got details/stories from those close to her. We are not that active in church. We defenantly had no idea how to put a service together or eulogy for that matter. Daren stepped in and kept us all on track and ran the service flawless. We wanted a celebration of life. Wanted to remember the fun times and great memories. Our orders to Daren were to keep it light, happy vibes, but in honor. His comic background and experience in church together with his great ability to hold everyones attention was more than we expected. He absolutely nailed it. Great job sir.
