Hey Dad It's me, your daughter.
I'm sorry we left off on such bad terms, those of you who know me know what I'm talking about. But thinking back on that last day we spoke, it tears me up inside, just the thought of not ever being able to tell you that I'm sorry and I love you ever again. If only I could have the chance to see you again I would hug you and never let go. If only I could talk to you one last time, I would've atleast been able to say good-bye. But I'm just glad you went how you've always wanted to go and that's asleep holding Elise's hand. Elise thanx for taking care of my dad and grandma I love you and I'm sorry. I'm thinking of you guys. Take care.

Love always,
your babygurl

Joyce, Matt and family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I did not know Darrell well but what I did know I liked. You couldn't help yourself. One of the most stubborn and hard headed people I have ever met, but also one of the most intelligent. Joyce I can only imagine the ache you have in your heart. I am truly sorry. I know how much you loved him and how much he loved you. There is no sorrow or pain where he is now. I believe that. I love you and miss you Joyce. You and Matt and the rest of the family are in my prayers.
