To the Eymard family: I am an old friend from Buras High School. As I attend these funerals I am saddened that we are dying, which I understand is inevitable. While I understand he will be missed by all of you, I also now know he lived a great life doing what he loved to do, fishing & shrimping. While I extend my sympathies to all of you, Becky in particular, I am not so sad at his passing. What a great like. I suggest the funeral service was what he would have liked, a bunch of friends gathered to say good by. Darryl: Good by and God's Speed.
