You will never be forgotten by those who cared for you. Time has passed so quickly and I have not heard from Marty. I worry about her. She changed so much after you left.

I never met you but found some letters you wrote to my mom while cleaning out the attic at my grandmother's house. You seemed like a nice guy. I am glad my mother had a chance to know you.

The song of silence is beyond words
Words are weak translations of what we are feeling
Silence is the song of the heart..like love, a universal language.

I can do without the card...
I can do without the flowers...
I can do without the Cero's dark chocolate covered cherries...
But, without you it is just a cold day.

I sure do miss being on the Computer with you. Marsha is doing very good job telling what to do. Hope you also watching over my family. We had great times together. I won't ever forget pulling you across the creek when it was flooding. Call it the leg lamp movie. We watched it every Thanksgiving when I was there. There was so many memories we had together.
Love Bob,Nancy and Tina

Christmas Eve 2009....
'The' original Osburn family... Orville, Vella, Dolores, Del, and Darryl back together again for Christmas !!!!
So many of us miss you with all our hearts and souls. The holiday has never felt the same without you.
However, it has to put a smile on our faces to think about all of you together again.
To believe that someday all the extended family will celebrate with you again gives us Joy.
Love To All Of You
November 28, 2009
Ate some Turkey and lifted a glass or two too you. I was once the little kid running to keep up with you. Now I am part of that older group that sits at the big table. Sure do miss you
Happy Anniversary to TWO wonderful people.

Year number 38 it is.
Perhaps, this year.....
We could sing a song together
We could harmonize
And, it would make me feel better.

My very, very dear unk. Do love you so. Your upcoming birthday has been very much on our minds. Neither Mother nor I can quite absorb that it has been so many years ago that you and I were born. Mother thinks we are still kids and I think we are still enjoying our teens! AHHHHH, the bliss of an oldtimer's mind! You are much out of our sight, but never out of mind and heart. Much love.

Not late.....thought about you all day yesterday. Just can't get over how the days pass by so quickly. Only yesterday it seems we were talking and laughing and griping about the way the world is headed but it has been too long and I sure miss it. Miss you, bro.

Happy Birthday !!!!
General and I send you love.
How we miss you everyday, but especially so on these special days.
Ralph got to share in "THE" birthday cake this year.
I thought about you with every bite !!!
Thank goodness I had someone to share it with...as you know, otherwise I would have eaten the whole thing myself.
Love that chocolate.
Love you more.

Happy Birthday my dear friend. I have had the honor of meeting Marsha. What a wonderful woman she is. She is waiting for the day when the two of you will be reunited. To her I send my love on this day also. May the LIGHT OF LOVE remain always for both of you.

A little late, my dear unk, but not out of mind. I have really been tied up with the medical professionals due to my recent excursion and just so very tired when I arrived back home after each trip to Amarillo. Our lives go on and you must know you remain a part of them. How we love and enjoy each and every treasure you have given us through the years and incorporate them each year. You even helped Christopher with his gift to Kenny and Carla this year. Everyone was delighted! You remain an integral part of our lives. I must briefly tell you that Christopher switched to modern country recently and that band travels and is in better demand in this part of the country. Funny, huh? Do love you always.

Is the New Year, my friend! Marsha is doing well, you would be proud.
Sure have missed your shoulder this year, would have been welcome more than once.
If we were playing we would be going on in a couple hours! I know how much you appreciated me pointing that out. Ha! Ha! But I wish we were.
Miss you so much. Love, Ralph

Christmas Memories !!!!!
How special they are. It is the memory of our loved ones and joyous times together that are the most vivid. Treasured times.
Early years when we exchanged material gifts. With Kicha Cat loving to play with the paper and ribbons. Later years when we realized that was not the important aspect of Christmas, or any time for that matter. Still giving the crazy little cat paper and ribbon to play with.
Your traditional watching of what I always called the "Leg Lamp" movie. How many years it took me to finally see the humour you saw. Stange, I watched it for us last night and laughed at the parts you always laughed at. A tradition in the Osburn household!!!
Putting up outdoor lights. The year when our present house was so Beautiful !!!! The house and trees covered with lights. Then given the option.... "They stay up forever, or else they never go up again" Think that must be a guy thing.
The eggnog..the meal..more than we really wished we had eaten. Never a Christmas passed that we did not have food, shelter, heat. How very lucky we are, and have been.
Oh Darryl, the times have changed so much. So many without the very things we take for granted. You must know that times are very hard for so many this year. Shall I change tradition next year and do more to help? Rather than just thinking about it... go do it.
Baby....
You have yourself a Merry Little Christmas.
All My Love,
Marty

Our Anniversary Day.
I promised myself I was not going to shed tears today.
But.... just talked to Ralph.
Our Dear Mary passed away last night.
She fought so hard to win her medical battle. Such a stong lady she was, and is. I guess some battles are just not to be won.
Her pain is over but those of us left behind now have to deal with ours....
Once again.
You know how big the "Hug" is I send you.... please give Mary one for me too.

July 16, 2008
Here it is - the day we get to be the same age again! We're all still gettin by, none of us rich, but all a little poorer without you, my friend.
You are in my thoughts every day and sometimes when something is happening in the world that would make us both radical and angry, you are there with me and we talk.
Miss you a lot. Have had to live without the part of me you took with you.
Love, Your Bro

It is July 16, 2008. But my thoughts are of July 16, 1947.

Taking that sentimental journey backwards to our special birthday times.
I miss you so much today and every day.

This year the road west was very lonely. Made my heart ache.
Why this year? No explanation to be found.
But........
Wherever we go,
Whatever we do,
Wherever we go,
We go..... together.
I'll Always Love You.

True love is neither physical, nor romantic.
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
On this Valentine's Day I send love to my one and only Valentine but, also to my family and friends.
Love IS what the world needs now.
Not something from Hallmark, Kay's, or Zales.
It really is true you know....
Even tho' a person leaves us physically, they do always remain with us... in our hearts, in our head. I am hearing a rant about all the recent Valentine's Day ads with things for people to put on plastic, the war, the economy, and our political choices. It makes me smile !!!!!!
Love To All,
Ralph Worlein

My friend, this day comes every year the day after Chelsea Rae's birthday so they are eternally locked together in my mind.
I do not turn this machine on nearly as much as when we spoke each day, our thoughts we shared just aren't the same ones that anyone else would understand or maybe be interested in. We still have conversations though....I pretty well know what you would say about each subject that would come up. You are with me every day, my brother.
I miss and love you.
Marty
December 25, 2007
Early Christmas Morning...
How I wish I could be with you, but that time is not yet at hand.
So, I must ask you to be with me today. Be that special twinkle in the candle light, the chime ringing even tho' there is no wind,
or the bluebird at the birdbath looking at me in the window as I look back.
Have a grand day with our family and friends there with you. Give them all a hug for me.
We know the best is yet to come. I will keep that thought close to my heart.
Merry Christmas Darryl Lee...
Sending you all my love
Marty

Happy Anniversary D. Lee !
Happy Halloween !
Happy Day !
Happy Moment !
I have been thinking a lot about happiness lately...how wrong it is to ever expect it to last forever.
Nothing lasts forever...all things are impermanent. Even life itself.
But ...
There are true moments of happiness. Almost every day contains at least one moment of happiness. So, I am learning to savor that moment, enjoy it, pay attention so that I don't miss it altogether.
This is our 36th anniversary day !!
I will continue to keep count for us.
Because you are still in my world, just not a physical part of it.
I send love to you as I have in the past, in this present, and will for all time.

A day late, a dollar short, as usual. I almost let the date get by with my mind consumed on how to get Marty unblocked from my email. Accidentally got her on there, could not get her off. How I was wishing you were around to help out, but, then I would've had you blocked, too! We miss you very, very much. Mother can't believe how old you would've been and I can't believe how we are becoming the older generation. Time does strange things. Love you.

Happy Birthday, my brother! Was a hot day as it usually was for your birthday. I never drank a cold one for you but did take care of the ice cream in your honor.
Miss you greatly. Love, Ralph

Morning Baby !
It is July 16th...2007
It is your Birthday !!!!
Even with an entire dictionary in my head...
Today, well , I just don't seem to be able to put words together for a message here.
Words only seem to capture a small bit of the meaning I want to express anyway.
So..........
General and I will celebrate today
Tis tradition.....
Happy Trails ......

Well, Bro. This is the weekend we always talked about. Both of us agreed that we might be the last generation that decorated graves on Decoration Day. I'm pretty sure we were right. People now forget what this time is for. Marsha is holding up your end for you as you knew she would. Love ya, Your Bro
Marty
May 24, 2007
I think the soul is nourished by ritual and celebration.
Memorial Day is one of those times that our ritual just must be continued.
I think Darryl is with me as I do so.... just behind the veil.
Just like I feel he is around when I am carrying on about the sweet scent of our honeysuckle blowing in the breeze.
Or maybe he sent that oriole sitting on the railing of the upstairs deck. First thing I saw upon awakening. Like it was sitting there saying..Good Morning!
Everything and anything are always possible.
Wonders shall never, ever cease.
So Darryl... I send you a cosmic love note too.
General & Me
May 9, 2007
Take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
Don't be afraid that your life will end,
Be afraid that it will never begin.

April 6 came and left. Granpa and Chris had their birthdates that day. Chris turned 36 this year. Granpa would have really been up in years! Chris is making me sound like an old woman, but in my heart, I am at least as young as he! We love you and miss you.

It is Easter Morning....
I could talk of chocolates...
I could talk of a special dinner...
I could talk of vases full of blooms...
Instead I think I would like to say to you -- my D.Lee
The true essence of You
The true energy of You
Will always be
You can never "Not" be
So......
I send to You and all our family and friends
A wish for love, light, peace and happiness today and every day.

Well........ RW
60 years and 1 day it is now.
So many tales to tell from those 60 years and 1 day.
More than once I was told not to believe a one of them.
DLO said you made them up!!!!!
Sooooooooo..... of course I don't believe a word.
But, I really do enjoy listening to them. I don't have a problem with fiction.
Have a great 61st year !!!!!!
February 25, 2007
I lay there and looked up at the night sky.
And she told me about stars called blue squares and red swirls.
And I told her I'd never heard of them.
Of course not, she said, the really important stuff they never tell you.
You have to imagine it on your own.

Happy Valentine's Day Darry Lee....
I have finally found an answer to at least one question.
Years, and years ago --- I am thinking it might have been about 15 years ago.
You gave me a long stemed chocolate rose. I put it in a vase that first year. You asked me a couple days after Valentine's Day when we were going to eat that chocolate rose.
I said... "I don't know, but not today"
And so after about a week I put it in the refrigerator. There it has been for all these years.
Many times you asked me..."When are you going to throw that thing away."
I always said... "I don't know, but not today"
Well...it is Valentine's Day 2007 and the chocolate rose is out of the refrigerator and in it's vase.
I now have an answer to your question.... I will never throw it away!
It gets to be with me the rest of my life as a memory keeper of my valentine.
Miss you...
Love you ...

When we were kids a year seemed to last forever but now they speed by. Fast years filled with slow days. Not one of them has gone by without thinking of you and on many of them we still have conversations although the sane people around me think I'm speaking to myself. That's ok, I know what your answer would be just as you always knew mine.
This year has to be better and you will be there with me as you always were. Miss you every day, my brother. Love, Rowdy
Carol
January 4, 2007
I have thought about you so much, especially on the holidays, when you significantly left certain memories in my mind. Franco American spaghetti for Thanksgiving dinner last year, taking advantage of Marty's absence, all the Christmas Carols you would send in your emails throughout the Christmas season, especially our beloved Alvin and the Chipmunks, and the record of your treasured New Year's dinner. I am so grateful to Marty that one of the last meals you enjoyed during your presence with us was so loved by you. We missed having you to wish a Happy New Year's to this year, and I hated it that I found Grandma's Starkey school cookbook from Floydie's schooldays (incidentally, I haven't heard from Floydie in a little over a year) that had what I believe must be the old fashioned fudge recipe we were craving this past year. I think perhaps Marty or I one will try that recipe out and eat a piece for you. In all seriousness, we love you dearly, miss your presence, but we know that you are with our loved ones and all watch over us. We thank you for the gift of your life that you gave us and continue to bless us with. With much love to you, unk.
Here's Looking At You
Marsha
January 4, 2007
A year?... that thing, called a calendar, that we use to track time says -- yes it was a year ago.
Yesterday?... the pain and sorrow that wants to maintain a daily presence says -- yes it was yesterday.
100 years ago?... the hugs and kisses, conversation, smell of patchouli, hearing the laugh, being looked at over the glasses with "that" look they all say -- yes it was a hundred years ago.
Think I will just Dream On....
"Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me, if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away"
In my life I loved you more.
December 24, 2006

Thought about you a lot when the "Stones" actually played Wichita. Also the other day while driving through Riverside and seeing the old stage where we had so many good times. But then you are in my thoughts quite a bit anyway. The General is one handsome "critter" I feel much better about Marsha being "down on the farm" knowing he's around to keep an eye on things.
Love you and miss you brother

Here we are the day of the Stones concert in Wichita.
Made me think of when we saw them in KC, Bolder, Fort Collins, and OKC. Just couldn't think of going again without you. Well, maybe when they do their final tour...being pushed on stage in their wheelchairs.
Gotta tell you... your boy, General, is a chick magnet just like you !! Has a little girl coming to the back door. Oh My !!!
What a crush she has.
Well, hope this message goes through. Last one just had the pic.
Remember... if you ever change your mind...

Wasn't feeling too well yesterday, so I wish you a happy birthday today. I can't believe that it was 59 years ago since Grandma told Mother to get up and get on the switchboard to summons Dr. Lies to meet her and Grandpa at the hospital to deliver you. Funny thing was that, even though his office was right across the street from their residence there in Colwich, he had no idea Grandma was pregnant! hehehe We miss you here, but are sure you are having a wonderful time there.

I can't believe it's your birthday again already! So, Happy Birthday, old fart! We miss you but you haven't missed much. World is still falling apart, the summer is the stickiest since we were kids. Told Marsha not to get heatstroke working in the yard. I have a feeling she listened to me about as much as she listened to you.
My daughter Chelsea Rae is here and I think after the hubbub of the day is over we'll mix a couple of drinks and toast your birthday, my brother.
Love Ya, Ralph

Happy Birthday Old Man!
Yep, I know that will sound terrible to some... but that is exactly what you heard ... first thing upon awakening on your birthday. Not going to change things now.
You started it.
We spent 35 birthdays together and I am going to think about that today. How fortunate, lucky, blessed, whatever word one might use to explain the joy of being with you all those years.
We gave each other the gift of love. There can be nothing sweeter.
I cherish that gift.
So again, Happy Birthday!
So far away,
Yet so near.

Hey, Uncle Dude: Sorry I missed all of the cool summer days with you and Marty. I think of you and wish that we had spent more time "just hangin out", hope you ,Dad and GranPa are keepin those folk scrachin thier heads, and tellin each other" you know,it's those darn Osburn's'. Miss you!
Fire-crakers from the grain elevator,sure made Frenchy mad, but as always he got over it!
June 18, 2006
I have to wonder if on your side they have specific days to honor those very special in one's life... like Father's Day. Or, is everyday spent with family and friends... full of love, joy, and learning.
I am hoping the latter.
Whatever the case may be, I do hope that you and Del behave yourselves with your Dad today. Give my Pop a hug too please. And if he doesn't chase you away, give Ralph's Dad a hug.
We love and miss you so much. Life is just not the same without you.

D. Lee.........
My mind today is like a hurricane zone, memories flooding in! What wonderful memories they are too. This time last year was the night before you performed for the last time at the Cotillion. No matter how good or bad you might be feeling you could always give one h*** of a performance.
I miss you so much. It doesn't feel that long ago that I was one of those highschool girls at the Attic, Work Shop, or Cottilion just standing and staring at you. Fell in love with you long before you even knew who I was.
May the rest of my years here without you go as fast as the last year.

This holiday makes me think even more about you, my brother. We talked often of our concern as to whether our generation would be the last to decorate graves. Honoring our families always meant a lot to us.

My thoughts have been especially with you this Memorial Day. Sweet Marty went to Kingman to decorate the graves. What a sweetheart you picked! We love her as much as we loved you. In my heart, I know you are alive in spirit and walk in peace with all our loved ones you have recently joined. Today, I blow flower petals in the breeze as a loving memorial to you. Love you, unk. ccitysue

We rejoice and give thanks for earthworms, bees,
ladybugs, and broody hens;
for humans tending their gardens,
talking to animals, cleaning their homes,
and singing to themselves;
for the rising of the sap, the fragrance of growth,
the invention of the wheelbarrow, and
the existence of the teapot, we give thanks.

The honeysuckle is blooming!
How we loved to stick our noses in those lovely blooms and take a deep breath. Have been doing that every time I pass by them. A bee almost got the end of my nose this morning ... but that is ok.
Have been thinking a lot about you and Vella being together on Mother's Day this year. Give her a big hug and kiss for all of us here.

Hey Unka Dude: It's been 1 year ago this week, that we sat around for the last time in Sand Springs. I miss you, I would have done anything not to lose you. I know how you distrusted Doctors and Hospitals, but you left us way too early. Hope you, dad and granpa are enjoying the smoking lounge, You three were the most important guys in my younger years. I pray for you all, every day. You will always be so very cool in my mind.

Well, bro. A few days 'til my birthday and this will be the first time since we were kids that I haven't received a completely tasteless birthday card from you. I have every one of them somewhere in a box, never got rid of one of them. I'll miss that. Miss you, brother. Ralph

In the Cherokee language there is no word for "good-bye"; instead, there is Do-nv-da-go-hv-i, meaning "until we meet again."

OH! Darryl Lee, your family is so special. We all love and miss you so much. They have made it possible to just "chat" with or about you whenever we want. I know I walk around talking to you all the time but this will be our special place.
Getting that band in line there yet? Keep making good music.
General says "Hey"
Love You.............

An Uncle, a big brother, the coolest guy I ever spent anytime with. While I was growing up he really helped me through some rough times, he will always be my hero. He was my Dad's little brother and they always could push each others bottons,but they were first and foremost family. If there is a smoking section in HEAVEN I know that the Osburns have their own table and the stories will never end. To Marty, you are in my prayers and if you every need and help or suport Please Call

Yes Darryl and the Outcasts were among the first in Wichita to give the rest of us a first hand taste of acid rock. The park and the clubs, what a life. I will never ever forget his music. Thanks for everything. Miss ya bro.

Darryl Lee,
Not too long ago received a photo with me in back ground of a Riverside Park Concert. It was the band in the forefront more or less. It shook some memory cells loose as I recall late nights and traveling to Lawrence with the band once in awhile.
Of course Riverside Park kept coming back as did protesting to make the world a better place for all. Frankly we really could not afford to lose you just yet as we have lots of work to do once again. Your energy will always be felt
and will help keep us moving.
Once we touched base again after I seemingly
disappeared for a decade or two your and Tommy's daily emails warmed my heart. Now I realize it's time to get together with my doo da friends because of your unexpected departure.
We certainly had some great times. Now it's time to celebrate your soul and you know that when it comes to celebrating we have much experience. Thanks for being on the planet.
Adios Amigo,
Dickie Heckler

There is a story of a woman who lost her only child and was bereft, inconsolable, and alone.She went to the Buddha to ask his help in healing her wounded spirit. If he couldn't she would follow her child to the grave and forgo her destiny. Karma be damned. She would not, could not continue to live this way. The Buddha agreed to help but told the mother she must first bring him back a mustard seed from a house that had never known sorrow. and so the woman set out to find one. Her search took her a long time. She went from house to house all over the world but there was not one that had never entertained grief as a guest. However, because every house knew what her pain felf like, they wanted to give her a gift to help ease her anguish. It could not make it go away, but it might help. When the woman returned home she opened her heart and showed the Buddha what she had been given: acceptance, forbearance, understanding, gratitude, courage, compassion, hope, truth, empathy, remembrance, strength, tenderness, wisdom, and love. "These gifts were given to help me," she told him.
"Ah, they were? And how do you feel now?" he asked the woman.
"Different. Heavier. Each gift comforts me in its own way, but there were so many I had to enlarge my heart to carry them all and they make me feel stated. What is this strange full feeling?"
"Sorrow."
"You mean I'm like the others now?"
"Yes." said the Buddha softly. "You are no longer alone."
I loved this man with all my heart and soul. I want to thank my family and friends for making me realize, like the woman in the story,that I am not alone.

Darryl Lee was my uncle. He was just 3 years older than I, hence we were practically raised as brother and sister. In our younger years, he was quite bossy Yet protective. In our later years he was full of inspiration, instruction and quick to start your day off right with an email and song just picked by him to set the day's mood. He dearly loved his home, his animals, his dog, General, and most of all, his wife Marty. We were so privileged to have had him in our lives and his love will remain with us forever.
