To my living children Krista, Samantha, and Tanya. I am sorry for your loss and am pleased you had Darrell in your life.
Lee, Ethyl & Peter, Rocky, Sheri & Marvin, & my dearest friend Cindy & Warren, I am terribly sorry for the loss of your husband & father, he was a good man. I can feel your pain & as time goes on I have learnt that it doesn’t hurt any less, you just get use to living with it every day. However, as you all know, there is an eternal life after this fleshly one retires, & that is absolutely something glorious to look forward to. It has become the hope I hang on to, to be with my sister again. Without this hope, we have nothing. Lord Jesus be with you all & comfort & hold you close, this day & every day.
Love always & blessings, Suzi (Sweeney) Wilson. xo
