Life story

A brief writing of how much we love you and miss you. Things have changed so greatly this last year (2024) and most days I’m thankful you’re not here to see the evil in this world. You were the best dad I could’ve asked for. You were my best friend. You held my entire heart until the day that you died. And I only got pieces back after you left. Thank you for being the most amazing human to me the 20 years I had you. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for letting me be your Linnio. I would give anything to have one more day with you..

New Flowers!

New flowers for your spot are long overdue. Leo and I had a great visit sitting on the bench by your spot. We miss you Darrell, we miss everything about you. You are loved more than I can find words to express. Knowing you’re with Jesus makes me happy, and even more so lately since we’ll all be with Jesus soon. I love you my brother and can’t wait to see your face and hug you!❤️✝️
