I imagine if I was given one moment just a single slice of my past .I could hold it close forever and that moment would always last. I'd put the moment in a safe. I could open it when I wanted and only I would know the code. I'll choose a time of laughter.happiness.and fun.and when I'm feeling sad and low and struggling with what to do I can open my safe and watch my moment through. I've build my own library in my heart with moments of memories with you.I can open it up whenever I like , It's a promise I'll never ever forget you. Missing you.mother

Some days I may be better at coping with physical and emotional challenges than other days.Yet there may be days when i feel as if I am at the end of my patience and drained of energy.wed. was that day. when will the emptiness stop? when will the whole in my heart be fill? when will my broken wing be fits?

What if the brilliant twinkling stars that bring the dark night sky to life are windows looking out of heaven?And at the very moment when we're wishing on those stars,hoping that the loved ones we have lost are happy, safe,and free. maybe they are looking at those same stars from the other side, making the same wish for us sending us all their love.

Duley, another year has come and gone. I think of you often and remember the last time I spoke with you before you went to your Heavenly home. You were so happy, full of laughter and in such good spirits, that was a geat time of warm conversation I still hera your voice even tiil this day. You are missed forever, until we meet again.

I'm considering marriage again soon, who would have thought it, (grin-grin). Just thinking of you and wondering what you would have to say about all of this; at this season in my life.

I'll be going to see your Mom in a few weeks, she is such a Blessing to all of us. Her courage, her strength, her faith and most of all the leadership she lends to all she meets. I love you always.
Missed so deeply,

Hey Duley, reckon what? I celebrated your earthly birthday on November 18, 2008, I set off 32 baloons in all colors for you. I know these earthy vessels are only for a season. I just grieve that your season came much too soon. I later learned that your BD is November 19, 2008,oops! I was visiting with your Mom in October, and saw pictures of Dadge, and was amazed, when Tina told me, that's not Daryl, that's Dage. He's the spiting image of you in looks and I'm sure character, and certainly behavior. We all miss you so much and are longing for the day when we'll see you again. When tradegy occurs, we often ask," Oh my where was God when this happened, and then we who are children of God realize he was right where he's always been in our hearts. It was no surprize to Him, when he whispered softly to you, "come home", and He also knew the rest of us would feel so all alone. I am greatful and humbled by the life you lived and the legacy you left behind. I hope I can follow the great example of living life to the fullest with humility, great strength, Faith and courage beyond measure as you did.

You're forever young in HIs Kingdom.

You're missed more than these words can ever say.

Love you always.

April 13th 2008,,is the 5th year of Daryl tragic death. It seems like it was only yesterday.What a difficult time I have been through. I feel crippled,A big piece of my heart is gone. I think back and realize that the years passed by so quickly. and many question were left unanswered. Nothing will fill the emptiness in my heart. Nothing seems bright anymore, The days are left so gray and empty. I miss the things you used to do to make me laugh.The things you was so right about."There is only one life" But why did you live your life so fast? When I think of you I can't help but smile. but, the smile turn into tears when I realize you are no longer here. I think of you a lot. You brightened my days when you was still here. some days I find myself waiting for you hoping for you to walk through the door.The sad thing is I know that won't happen again. Nothing will ever be the same until we meet again, that is God promise.You will never be forgotton.
Love--MOM

Oh brother I can't, I can't get through
I've been trying hard to reach you, cause I don't know what to do
Oh brother I can't believe it's true
I'm so scared about the future and I wanna talk to you
Oh I wanna talk to you
You can take a picture of something you see
In the future where will I be?
You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done

Are you lost or incomplete?
Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?
Tell me how do you feel?
Well I feel like they're talking in a language I don't speak
And they're talking it to me


So you don't know were you're going, and you wanna talk
And you feel like you're going where you've been before
You tell anyone who'll listen but you feel ignored
Nothing's really making any sense at all
Let's talk, let's ta-a-alk

November 19, 2007

Being with our Father is what we all Hope for soon someday. You are soley missed forever and a day for always.

Daryl,(Young Forever)
What do you do when you outlive your child, and bury the one you thought would bury you? My arms are empty, my mind troubled.how do I say goodbye to Love so young and Tender? How do I dismiss a song in the middle of a stanza, A poem interrupted by prose? It don't seem right, His life have stopped like a ballerina poised at the peak of a dance step.I have come to learn the art of losing what I Love and giving up what I thought I owned My closest companions is my tears.There are no comfort to ease the pain of a mother caught in such an impossible dilemma.Who can wipe away my tears,What arms can hold my aching heart, or warm the icy chill of my fear? Lord, I cannot imagine any grief more consuming then this O God,My Child,Iam weary and numb.It is hard for me to realize that this loss is real and that it is permanent.Lord, I need comfort I need you beside me to cry on your shoulder.Lord bring me through these devastating days.give me grave through all my grief. Help me to survive.I know my child is save with you. Daryl I can no longer see you, I remember you.I love you. Love Mother,

Vera, Angela & Jerome Cuthbert Family

Daryl, How the Holidays hurst when you're lonely, all that christmas cheer cuts like a knife, and I could sit in a corner and just cry for the rest of my life. I don't want to spoil every ones christmas, so I'll smile and try to be brave, but I wish I could skip this whole season and just go and set by your grave. For that's where all my thoughts will be son. I'll be there since you cannot be here. I will place Poinsettia all around your grave. you will not be forgotten never.

Sting in my Heart,

SOUL SECRETS

for the loss of my child

Lord, I cannot imagine any grief more consuming than this. O God.my child. I am weary and numb. It is hard for me to realize that this loss is real and that it is permanent. I feel guilty that, as a Mother, it is so hard to release my child to you, the Father. But Lord, it is almost more than I can bear.Lord, bring comfort. Send your Holy Spirit in a way I've never experienced before. I need you right beside me. I need to cry on your shoulder. I need to know that you know, You really know.

Lord, give wisdom to those around me who want to help, but feel so inadequate. Equip them to minister to me in ways that will help all of us. But more that that, be my deepest friend. Bring me through these devastating days. Give me grace through all my grief. Help me now to survive, and when it's time, to arise stronger and more compassionate. Remind me that my child is safe with you. And so am I.





Mother

Daryl, This day come with sad regret

a day I will never forget.

I wish I could see your face and watch you smile, to sit with you and talk a while.

For us to be together the same way, would be my greatest wish today.

The tears in my eyes I can wipe away, but the ache and sadness in my heart will always stay.

Life goes on I know it true, but nothing the same since losting you.

I asked the Lord to Treasure You, In his Garden of Rest, for here on Earth you were one of the best.

Deeply Treasured and Sadly Missed

I'am trying to be patient with life, despite it's cruelty, often it seems careless of my pain.I'am trying to be happy without you as I would with you.

I miss you so much.I can feel you no here, I just can't beleive it.

I have so much I want to talk to you about. You always know what to say and how to say it. I want to say think God for the memories, but I want you here. you have to be a Mother to understand what I'am say.

2004 is almost over and it seem like

I'll live years in the last three month.

I close my eyes and see you at thirty-five with a big DARYL SMILE

looking as HANDSOME as always.

Please help me to breath again, the throught of you leaving takes my breath away. oh God, nobody really knows what this has done to us.

November 24, 2003

I have been trying to write for the longest something and everytime, it gets hard when I start to reflect back on the times we shared and watching you do things. I can't stop the tears from filling my eyes. I am so proud to grow with you and as a cousin you brought joy in my life growing up. I remember when you tried out for basketball in high school and when you would work out you would go in the back yard of Mudear house and run the whole yard, I would stand there and just watch you. I don't know if you really knew how you affected all us in some way. I remember bragging to my friends how one day when I get married I want someone just like my cousin (Daryl), handsome, smart, spiritual, respectful,loving, sincere,suave. I remember talking to you on a couple of occassion and how grounded you still was. I always when I talk to Tina or whoever and ask is Daryl coming down? Especially for Family Reunions. I remember when you did come to one of the family reunions how much fun we had, man did we have fun! I can't forget and never will your smile & laughter(big & beautiful) I use to wonder how does a man get such a beautiful smile. I love my cousin so much. I think about you always and it is still kind of unsettling and unreal that you're not here with us.





May you rest in peace and watch over all of us.



Tina, Pam, Dage, Maurice, Bill



God Bless you all.



Love always

(When this began)

I had nothing to say

And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me

(I was confused)

And I let it all out to find

That I’m not the only person with these things in mind

(Inside of me)

But all that they can see the words revealed

Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel

(Nothing to lose)

Just stuck, hollow and alone

And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own



I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real

I wanna let go of the pain I’ve felt so long

(Erase all the pain till it’s gone)

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real

I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along

Somewhere I belong



And I’ve got nothing to say

I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face

(I was confused)

Looking everywhere only to find

That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind

(So what am I)

What do I have but negativity

’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me

(Nothing to lose)

Nothing to gain, hollow and alone

And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own



I will never know myself until I do this on my own

And I will never feel anything else until my wounds are healed

I will never be anything till I break away from me

I will break away, I'll find myself today



wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong

I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong

Somewhere I belong

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY--YOU'LL NEVER GROW OLD'

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SON



Daryl,

Wednesday November 19, 2003 I'll be

standing at the foot of your grave gazing at your marker. What would I have done If God hadn't given me you, For a little while? The world wouldn't have been the same, all the talks we've had, all the laughter we 've shared, can not be replaced.

My Heart is full of gratitude today and always's for all that you mean to me. My thoughts are full of you today and they made me smile. I think my God up on every remembrance of you. You are my guiding light,

Angel by my side.

The loss of you left a big space in my heart that only time can heal. Tears bring no relief, because I can't change what has happened.

Grief for me is personal and individual. I'am respond in my own way.

There no wrong or right.(Every one can master a grief but he that hath it)

How do I say goodye to my Son so young and tender? It don't seem right.

Your life have stop like a poised statue.

What's the art of losing your child?

My tears is my closet companion, no words of comfort to easy the pain.

Only i know my grief.

It's going to be hard standing at your grave and impossible to go

Even in my pain I hold close to my heart the gift of your Life.

(What do you do when you out live your child and bury the one that you thought would bury you?)

I pretended I'm glad you went away

These four walls closing more everyday

And I'm dying inside

And nobody knows it but me

Like a clown, I put on a show

The pain is real even if nobody knows

And I'm crying inside

And nobody knows it but me



Why didn't I say

The things I needed to say

How could I let my angel get away

Now my world is tumbling down

I can say it so clearly

But you're nowhere around





The nights are lonely

The days are so sad

And I just keep thinking about

The love that we had

And I'm missing you

And nobody knows it but me



I carry a smile when I'm broken in two

And I'm nobody without someone like you

I'm trembling at night and

Nobody knows it but me

I lie awake it's a quarter past three

I'm screaming at night as if

I thought you'd hear me

Yeah my heart is calling you

And nobody knows it but me



How blue can you get?

You could ask my heart

But like a jigsaw puzzle

It's been torn all apart

A million words couldn't say

Just how I feel

A million years from now you know

I'll be loving you still



The nights are lonely

The days are so sad

And I just keep thinking about

The love that we had

And I'm missing you

And nobody knows it but me



Tomorrow morning I'm hitting

The dusty road

Gonna find you wherever

Ever you might go

I'm gonna unload my heart and hope

You come back to me

Said when the nights are lonely...





The nights are lonely

The days are so sad

And I just keep thinking about

The love that we had

And I'm missing you

And nobody knows it but me

One year ago my life was changed forever I lost an Angel on earth so that he could be in heaven there is not a day that go by that I don't think of you and how much I miss you. Some of those days are filled with wonderful memories. Today is only sadness because I can't hug you and tell you in person I love you. Right now I miss you more than I can express. I hope you have found peace where you are because the pain I feel inside is almost unbearable. I'm thankful for the laughter and the time we had together, and your smile is a picture that I will hold in my heart forever, someday within the stars in the sky we will be together again.

Missing you

Clem Webb

April 7, 2003

It only seems like yesterday that the Father called you away,I still hear your laughter and kind words you'd always say. You'll forever be in my future and I know We'll meet again someday. I often think of you and remember your childlike ways,that's a reflection of Christ that lived in you,and it carries me through day by day. I know you're okay,I can hear you say I have a new life that no one can take away.



I'm so grateful for the years we had with you,it has made us better in our relationships,stronger is our daily battles,and humble is our approach to every problem. You left a legacy of Love,peace,joy,contentment and above all,the longing for Heaven as our Eternal home.



Forever in my Heart.

I'am grateful i had him in my live, I'am trying to be strong and let my heart take courage.

If tears could build a stairway

And memories were a lane

We would walk right up to heaven

AND BRING YOU BACK AGAIN

No farewell words were spoken

No time to say good-bye

You were gone before we knew it

And only god knows why

Our hearts still ache in sadness

And secret tears still flow

What it meant to lose you

No one can ever know

But now we know you want us

To mourn for you no more

To remember all the happy times

Life still has much in store

Since you will never be forgotten

We pledge to you today

A hallowed place within our hearts

Is where you will always stay

For we know god's knows best

And to us your time was too brief

It's hard to accept

But God wanted his Best

So he called you home

To be at rest

So go ahead and be free

And surely when we fly away

We will see you again



Love you always,

Dee-Dee & Dary'iea

And the destructors of it



Ouija board, ouija board, ouija board

Would you help me ?

Because I still do feel

So horribly lonely



Would you, ouija board

Would you help me ?

And I just can't find

My place in this world



He has now gone

From this Unhappy Planet

With all the carnivores

And the destructors of it



Oh hear my voice ("hear my voice")

Hear my voice ("hear my voice")

The table is rumbling ...

The glass is moving

"No, I was NOT pushing that time"

It spells : D.A.R.Y.L



The table is rumbling

The glass is moving

"No, I was NOT pushing that time":

G.R.E.E.N. extra E.



Well, he has now gone

From this Unhappy Planet

With all the carnivores

And the destructors of it

Gilbert-Thomas 10TH Bi-Annual Family Reunion August 9-11-2002



Beautiful memories are wonderful things. they last till the longest day.



To the living, you're gone

To the sorrowful, you'll never return.

To the angry. you was cheated.

But to the happy, you're at Peace.

And to the Faithful, You never Left.

You can not be seen, but you can be heard.

so as we stand upon a shore, gazing at a beautiful sea or looking in awe at a mighty forest we'll remember you. We'll remember you in our Hearts,our thoughts, and memories of the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laughed. For we always thinking of you, in our Heart you never have gone.

You probably realized you brighten my life when we was together, But do you know how much you brightan my life when we're apart?

When ever something exciting happens i think of you, and i picture myself running to tell you all about it, and we hug and share a laugh.

When i'am faced with a tough situation, I think of you, and imagine what you would do or what you'll say to help me through it.

Even when there's really nothing going on; I think of you and your ability to make life's dullest moments fun.

You see even when you're somewhere else, a part of you is always here with me.

Missing you

One day as i was driveing down a long

dark road; I couldn't see or hear, and carried a very heavy load.

I stopped along the way side to rest

for a while. I fell off in a deep, deep sleep, and woke with a beautiful smile.

A man was looking down at me, He could tell I was in misery; He held out his hand and said to me "come with me child and I'll set you free."

I look around knowing not what to do

He said trust me child and I'll see you through, I said to myself what must I do? So I let my Faith lead me through.

"Heaven Is Little Sweeter Just Because You There."

Though Daryl you not here with us we'll never be apart.



Missing You---Mother-

To Tina & Dage

I Wish for you:



I wish for you,

comfort on difficult days,

Smiles when sadness intrudes,

Rainbows to follow the clouds.

Laughter to kiss your lips

Sunsets to warm your heart

Gentle hugs when spirits sag

Friendships to brighten your being

Beauty for your eyes to see

Confience for when you doubt

Faith so that you can believe

Courage to know yourself

Patience to accept the truth

And love to complete your life.

God Bless You!

I asked the Lord to Bless you

As I prayed for you today

To guide you and protect you

As you go along your way....

His Love is always with you

His promises are true

No matter what the tribulation

You know He will see us through

So, when the road you're traveling on

Seems difficult at best

Give your problems to the Lord

And God will do the rest.



Love you much.

Here I am, a vision of your soul.

Everything in your eyes as perfect.

your all.

Here I am, an everlasting tribute of your love. I am as I will be when I journey above. Forever pure.

Here I am, an Angel in my own right.

Becoming still, ever greater in the glow of your light.

Here I am, of fragile beauty and sound mind. A giver of love on a Pilgramage to be king.

Here I am, entering into your eternal glory. I stand before you an open book and you the reader of my story.

Here I am in the kingdom of Heaven,Where I will never be forgotten in the souls I have touched.

they say when you lose a loved one

their soul goes to heaven forever

that's what happened to me

for i lost my only brother

he was my friend and my protector

i just always assumed that he would be there forever

but then one day

God took him away

and in a way

a part of me died that day

i miss him very much

and think about him everyday

there are many lives that he touched

and always had nice things to say

even though he's not with me

i know he watches over me

but i know that i will see him again some day

and i will never forget him ever

because i know deep inside my heart

a brother is forever

BUT A BEGINNING HALF FOR FILLED.

FOR YOU'RE NOT HERE WITH ME AND I'M FILLED WITH SO MANY TEARS.

EVERY SUNSHINE, HALF GLEMING;

EVERY RAINBOW, SEEMS SO DULL,

EVERY RAIN DROP, SOUNDS SO DIFFERENT,

EVERY TEAR IS STILL A HEAVY LOAD.

Tina,this is for all of us,



There's a voice call,calling me

from an old rugged tree

and it wispers draw closer to me.



Leave this world far,far behind

there are new hieghts to climb

and a new place in me,

you will fine.



Take my houses and my land

change my dreams and all my plans

Lord I'm placing my whole life in-in you hands.



For whatever it takes for our will to break

that's what,we're willing to do.

We'll trade sunshine for rain

comfort for pain,that's what we're willing to do-for whatever it take

to draw closer to you Lord,that's what we're willing-willing to do.



Take the dearest things,Lord from me

If that's how-it must be-to draw,

to draw us closer-closer to thee.



For whatever it takes for our will to break,that's what we're willing to do.



And now, as I let you go Dooly,I can only do so because I trust only in God's merit,and I seek his face,Father heal our wounded,broken spirit,for he has saved us by his Grace. Rest in Peace.

Heavenly father:

Comfort this family who have suffered the loss of a loved one. May they find the good which You can bring from any circumstance. Grant to all of us the vision to see beyond the tragedies of this life to the glory of the next. Help us to remember that for those who love You, all things work unto good. (Romans 8:28)



We humbly ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, who Himself suffered the effects of human tragedy to bring us to the glory of eternal life. Amen

Today as the world celebrats Father's Day, I think of you, my dear sweet Daryl. Wishing you were here to hear to Dage say "Happy Father's Day Dad." But you're not, so I find consolation in knowing that you have gone to meet with your Father, and unlike us you'll be sharing this wonderful day with our Heavenly Father.

I love you and I pray that God gives me the strength to let you go.

Tina and Bill;

How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him,who brings good new,good news,announcing peace,proclaiming news of happiness.

Our God Reigns!Our God Reigns!



He had no stately form,he had no majesty,that we should be drawn to him. He was dispised and we took no account of him,Yet now he reigns with the most high.



I sing this song as I think of the wonderful memories I have of Dooley.

For now he reigns with the most high God.



May you both cherish all the good times,the laughter, and even the tears, for tears washes our soul.



Be Blessed as you are Blessed.



Love In Him.

I continue to pray that God comforts you during this difficult time. You know, during the past few years, He has been preparing you to be able to handle the GREAT loss you are feeling. Your strength in Him really shows. Yet, I am sure the pain still hurts.



Hold on to the lovely memories of your child. He could do nothing about what happened to him. God was and still is in control. Continue to trust in God. Though it may not seen possible right now, He is the only One who can help you through each day.



Love,

Don't grieve for me, for now i'am free. I'm followingthe path God has laid for me.

I took his hand when i heard him call. I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day.

To laugh, to love, to work or play.

Tasks undone must stay that way. I found Peace at the close of day.

If my parting has left a void in your heart.Then fill it with remembered joys.A friendship shared. a laugh, a kiss.

Oh yes these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life's been full, I savored much.

Good Friends,Good Times, A Loved One's Touch.

Perhaps my time semed all too brief.

Don't lenghen it now with undo grief.

Lift up your Hearts and Peace to thee.God wanted me now-He set me free.

Dear Tina

We all have to try to remember that God has a master plan for each of our lives. All so remember you have many many friends who share your grief for you precious son Daryl,his Father,Wife, Son and the rest of his family.



OVERCOME GRIEF

Man is spiritual and he lives forever. there is no death; all is life. God is life and that Life is my life now. I cannot lose that Life. I cease now to grieve over loved ones,for I know they live forever.Where God is, there is no evil; there is only God.I'am not separated from loved ones because there is only one mind and one God. In him we live, move,and have our being. We are all expressions of the one Being-the one consciousness. I'am instantly in touch with my loved ones, for spirit is Omnipresent. Every idea that comes to me is from God; these ideas reflect His Beauty and Truth, and they make me absolutely joyous."The sons of God shouted for Joy". I rejoice now to receive God's Truth."In thy Presence is ffffullness of joy." Only God's ideas come to me and to my loved ones;all is well.

Love Always

Georgia,

Is it o.k. to feel angry?

Is it o.k. to to wonder why?

Is it o.k. to keep on crying?

Is it o.k. to pretend to smile?

Lord, I guess my real question is..

Will I ever be o.k. again?

Goodbye Friend, Where do i go from here, this is the strangest feeling i ever felt, Gotten so use to you being here,Can't get use to this emptiness.Because we dabbled so many roads together and we've been through ups and downs that it's hard to realize the time has come to say goodbye good friend,i'll see you again on the other side, my dear dear friend. Through love and faith we'll share the victory and very soon we'll share eternity. I know i'm thinking selfishly,because where you've gone is a better place, this feeling has come over me that the pain is so deep that i can't explain,feels like something inside is tearing away, oh it hurts, oh the pain, but i know i have to come to grips with in and in my mind i have to say goodbye friend and i'll see you again on the other side, wanted you to stay but you know you've gone away, but GOD promises that we will rise again and that's when i'll see you my friend. Your Loving cousin, MATREAL DRUMGOLE

This is dictated in memory of my brother

Many of us have lost loved ones, we’ve lost family, and we’ve lost friends

Sometime, even thou we are saved,

it’s so hard to deal with that over powering emotion called grief.

Because the physical body, misses the physical presents of that family, of that friend.

But the thing that give me consolation

Is that it really means goodbye for now.

Because those who die in Christ, and those of us that are in Christ,

we are going to see them again.

And when that day comes,

it will always be howdy howdy and never goodbye

We won’t have to say good bye again.



Till we meet again

Daryl Family



God looked around his garden

And he found an empty place,

He then looked down upon this earth,

And saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you,

And lifted you to rest,

God's garden must be beautiful,

He's always takes the best.

He saw that the road was

getting rough,

And the hills were hard to climb,

And he closed your weary eyelids,

And he whispered"Peace Be Thine"

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you didn't go alone.

For part of us went with you

The day God called you home.

Daryl was always a very very special nephew, he was like my son. I loved him very much and will miss him so deeply. I will miss the long talks we would have just sharing small talk, joking,laughing and having someone in Your corner so you can let your guard down and talk and know that we wouldn't here our conversation again from someone else.

I am trying to be strong and let life continue to go on knowing that God knows best. God will not put on us more than we can bear.

I thank God that he allowed Daryl to be close in my life for his last 13 years of his life. God allowed me to be with a teenager that grew into a fine young man whom I was so proud of. THANK YOU! GOD

To the Family, A mother's love is a very special thing and for those of us who know this special gift can understand her tragic loss and can join with her in her sorrow. We watched a boy from the south come to a town nicknamed sin city and applied himself to study and religion to become an upstanding citizen in this world with an unlimited potential to become one of those true rags to riches stories we all dream of. With an ache in our heart may we all pray that he will be an inspiration to many others that dreams are attainable and may he rest in peace in the arms of the Lord.

Gloria,

This is the poem i was telling you about. It's very toching and i hope it can bring you a little comfort.



For all parents

"I'll lend you for a little time,

a child of mine," He said "For you to love while he lives,and mourn when he is dead.

It may be six or seven years,or 22 or 3,

but will you,"til i call him back,

take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you, and shall his stay be brief,

you'll have his lovely memories as

solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay, since

all from earth return,

But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.

I've looked the wide world over in my

search for teachers true

anf from the throngs that crowd life's

lanes, I have selected you.

Now will you give him all your love,

nor think the labor vain,

nor hate me when I come to call,

to take him back again?

I fancied that i heard them say,

Dear Lord, Thy will be done.

For all the joy thy child shall bring,

the risk of grief we'll run.

We'll shelter him with tenderness,

we'll love him while we may;

and for the happiness we've known,

will ever grateful stay.

But shall the angels call for him

much sooner than we planned,

we'll brave the bitter grief that comes,and try to understand."

Crescent moon that hangs above
a face that strikes to bright to move
I’ve seen an image in a dream
Gone along to fast
go-slow, stay

Promenade around my brain
A song that sings
Those everglades
Stay to play your sweet strings
That chord that strikes
the voice that brings

The nights brightest star
You sat so far
but to close
life’s most promised secret

And if faults your confidence
Then let me be your blame.

The death of my dear son Daryl has folled my eyes with tears and my heart with sorrow. Heavenly Father I am distressed by the mysterries of your providence. As your child i want so much to say, "Not my will, but thine be done." but at time i find it difficult to do. Forgive me and help me, I pray you, by your Holy Spirit, to accept your ways as always best.Apply to my wounded heart the healing touch of your precious promises, and let me soon experience its power. Teach me not to mourn as those who have no hope. Wipe away the tears from my eyes that i may be able to see through the mist, beyond death and grave, to the resurrection and life assured by the glorious victory of my savior Jesus Christ over death and grave. May the passing of my son Daryl remind me that I, too, am but a pilgrim and stranger on earth.Grant me the grace to love less and less the things that are material and temporal, and to love more and more the things that are spiritual and eternal. Teach me to number my days and to apply my heart to the wisdom taught by Jesus Christ, that he is the way and the Truth and the Life, and that no one comes to you but by him. AMEN.

Daryl was the oldest of the cousins growing up in Monroe,and when he moved to Las Vegas and Maryland, he left an indelible impression on our lives. We knew him in his childhood, but never really knew him in his adulthood. But as far as I can see, he was as great a man, as he was a "big" cousin.

May God bless, keep, and comfort Pam, Dage, Tina, and Mr. Davis.

The night you passed away

My heart froze in disbelief

How could you leave me

When you meant so much to me?



The days we spent together

Are now cherished with thoughts

Of how you lived your life

Regardless of the scene



Please GOD take care of this Angel

Who deserves his lovely wings

Who's Halo glows brightly at night

And guides me through life's miseries



I know it's hard to let you go

But you’re in a better place

A place filled with so much Joy

And never any hate



But its just not the same

Without you in the flesh

I'll see you in heaven

Until we meet again

Just remember

You were my true friend

Time has stood still in our family,for Darryl was indeed a nephew and a brother we never had. I still see him playing in the front yard of our home, and us changing his clothes many times a day so he wouldn't be dirty. He grew up to be man of great honor and character. One who touched many live by his love. But above all, a man who not only loved Jesus,but one whom Jesus knew.

I will love forver,I'll like you for always as long as I'm living your aunt I'll be. Never ending Love
