What moves through us is a silence,
a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch,we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye. But little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories that is too beautiful to forget. May the memories we have of you give us strength. I was deeply saddened to hear of Darryl's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Darryl My Love,
Even though years and miles separated us, we always maintained a place in our hearts for each other. I'll never forget the first time we met when I was in the six grade. Your death has hurt me to the core of my heart. I always thought you would be there, even though you were afar. Even though the sting of death has now come between us, I know you died loving me and I am still alive loving you.

My prayers are with your family during this time of sorrow.
