Karl M. Daro

I miss you so much Daddy. It's been almost seven months and here I am still balling my eyes out. I can't do this without you Dad. I miss you too much! I miss your santa beard and big old belly and the way you hugged me cuz your belly was too big to get my arms around your back. I love you Dad, I miss you so much it's ridiculous. I wish I had just one day, one hour, one minute left with you. There's so much I never got to say to you Dad. I'm sorry! I love you! Rest in peace!

The Journey

As the dry and dusty trail stretched before me,
I thought of what had been, existing now in memory.
The plains of summer grasses, the stream of pure mountain waters,
the colors of the rainbow scattered in a mosaic of unbelievable complexity.

In the distance a thunderhead is building, the rumbling of it's internal
construction can almost be heard, more likely imagined.

Once again I turn my attention to the path.

It seems to lead to the...

To Kay,
We have both lost someone near and dear to us. Your husband/my brother. It's important for me to tell you that he went way to early but the two of you had something he never had before. You've been the only true love off his life. I am so glad that you brought him the happiness he wanted so much and I know how much you love him too. I want you to know how much we love you and that you,your son and daughter and their families are and always will be a very important part of our...

Dear Pam and family, So many times you spoke about your brother and his family to me I feel like I knew each one. It was a shock to read of his passing and my sympathy to you. I can only imagine how you must feel since you are a family person and always cared about your family. Each member was/is so important to you. Take care of yourself and I'll call you. Sending along a big hug and any support needed. Much love and concern, Marilyn

Dear Pam and family,

I am so saddened to hear of your brother's death. You did not mention that he was ill when we were together. I remember him as quite a nice guy -- not to mention what a handsome young man he was. Obviously, we have no control over the time for our loved ones to die -- but I believe that our mutual love for each other remains until we meet again one day. I extend to each of you my sincere sympathy.

With lots of love, Janie

If ever you need me,
I'll be right here,
To chase away the sadness,
And wipe away a tear.

If ever you need me,
I'll be two steps behind,
To follow in your footsteps,
And hear what's on your mind.

If ever you need me,
You'll never have to fear,
That your presence isn't important,
And your love isn't dear.

If ever you need me,
I'll always be around,
To bring back the laughter,
Where deep in your heart it's found.

You'll never have...

Our Deepest Sympathy. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Love Lauren, Alsion & Nicki

I knew Karl from when we were 5 years old. Now I'm approaching 60 and I'm gonna miss him BIG TIME. In fact we just spoke a few weeks ago when he was visiting his sister and brother-in law in Deerfield IL.

I have very fond memories of ridding his mini bike up and down his driveway and then over at Skeets Millards lake front property. What a blast it was. I also remember palying croquette next door to his parents house at Dr. McNeals house. Jimmy McNeal, Karl, Chip Altholthz and me would...
