Sheree (Beard)'s Story
I am having trouble finding other notes I have written and I hate to keep repeating things, but just a quick update. Several people have asked about Darryl and me. Sadly, Darryl passed away suddenly on April 30th of this year. It was a devastating loss for me and for those who knew and loved him. His ability to make others laugh (I mean REALLY laugh) will forever be missed. I am making every effort to move forward in a productive manner. I undertook a massive landscaping project which ultimately will include a rock retaining wall, a pond, a fire pit, a patio, and multiple gardens and paths. When I have completed it, Darryl's family and I will scatter his ashes there as he had wished. 10.31.2022
