I will miss the hugs I got from “my Buddy”. He called me My Buddy. Darrell loved everyone he meet, especially if you gave him an extra roll, he loved to eat. Thats my kind of meal he would say after a big dinner on Sunday afternoon. I will miss cutting his hair which was very special to me. He would sit there quietly until I would take the cape off never complaining. If you were having a bad day, it only took a few minutes with him to realize you don’t have anything to complain about. Yes, I will miss him, but I know I will see him face to face one day in heaven when he will be able to tell me exactly what he thinks. You see he knew Jesus and I know he is in his arm right now. Enjoy your new home MY BUDDY, I love you.
