Dear Clara & family, I was truly sorry to read of Darrell's death. May God bless all of you and give you comfort as you adjust to this loss. I will tell my girls about this. You may not remember me - it's been such a long time - I'm Norma Linkous Wyatt; was married to Stanley (Willie's son). In case y'all didn't know, Stanley passed away last year.
