    Darrell:

    Your mom was like a big sister to me during and after my years at Alvamar. I dropped the ball on keeping up with her after I moved back from California and I am so sorry for that. I was thinking about her a lot recently and now I know why. Just know that I am so sorry for your loss. I loved your mom.

    Think about her a lot. We were friends from about age 4. We spent many hours playing together. Would like to say hello to her brother Noble!
