Sometimes feeling like you fit in while with a group of cool kids is hard. It’s hard when you don’t do the same things or share the same interests (at the same intensity level) as the others within the group. Despite the fact that I’m obviously an outsider, you never made me feel like one. When I saw you, your smile was huge and genuine. When you hugged me, it was real. You made everyone feel like they belonged D’Arcy.

You are a good friend to my husband, you were kind to my kids and you are a loving partner. Seeing the love you and Jeannette share is inspiring. She will miss you so very much. Our Family will too.

I wanted you to see this. I wanted to bring the kids for a visit. I wanted one more hug.

We will be here for your love when she needs us. Please don’t forget us. We won’t forget you.
