Vaughn Lee Durham

Hi daddy, Oh my goodness, this has certainly been a tricky week remembering everyday of your last week of life that is forever engrained in my mind. The hearts of myself, John, Ella, mom, & Hugh were breaking more & more with each passing day as we knew we were losing you. Last year at this time your life was slowly & painfully taken from you & true to yourself you never complained even in the absolute worst of times. You always saw & appreciated every single sweet moment of life until the...

Happy Valentine´s Day daddy Oh my I just keep missing you more & more everyday. Wondering if you put the penny next to my hand last night... I'm mighty fortunate that John is filled to the brim with a million & 1 sprinkles of you. The superbowl was certainly not the same without you, John watched the entire season with me:) Ella even became a fan of a couple players:) I hope you can see Hugh & mom & the 3 of us are a perfect Durham McCarthy team. I just love you so much & want you...

I WILL MISS VAUGHN

Happy Thanksgiving daddy. My very first Thanksgiving in my life without you. Yikes this was the first Thanksgiving I did not enjoy. We all did our best, but oh my you are missed beyond words. We certainly have the best Thanksgiving memories from when I was little at grandmother & Otto's house, to our home, flying back from Dallas, 29A, to Hugh's house. It was always perfect no matter where we were cause we were all always together. Oh did you & I especially love every bite of mom's...

Happy Birthday Daddy. Oh how I would give anything to celebrate with you today, watch you make a wish & blow out your candles. I did of course get you a cake & candles, & Ella organized a birthday party for you tonight, so we will all be together having your favorite cocktail to cheers & celebrate you. My heart is broken not being able to hear your voice on our usual morning phone calls talking about wordle, the latest football game & everything in between. I miss you desperately, your...

I was so saddened and shocked to hear of Vaugn´s death. A finer, more decent and generous person could not be found. I will always remember our friendly tennis games on his meticulously well groomed court. I am looking at a preserved golf ball dated September 19, 2007 that I hit for my one and only hole-in- one at Elmridge, signed "VLD". All my love and sincere condolences to his beloved family. Shalom. Carl Astor
