For those of you who have asked for Marlene and Don Carlson’s address please note the following: 5485 N. Camino del Penoso, Tucson, AZ 85750. And I would like to post Mary Ann Snyder’s post, prompting me to get this address to you all.

“Dick: I have received calls for Marlene’s address. Can you post it? The
Pittsburgh friends will get together near Darrell’s birthday at the end of
Aug. We are thinking about Bruchette in the South Side. My email is
sellsail@netzero.com or call 412.241.2506.If you have an email address
distribution list that you can share I will advise all of date and time
for the gathering. Mary Ann Snyder”

Please keep this blog going for awhile yet. It seems to be a way of keeping the “love line” open. Just another way to keep close to Darrell and now to Bob.
I am still struggling with Darrell’s passing and want so much to have the phone ring and hear a voice say “hello darlin’ “. I will miss that terribly.
I have called as many of Darrell and Bob’s friends as possible and advised them of Darrell’s passing – a major shock to those who were not aware of his operation. I have told them that Rosanne and I are hoping to put together a “Celebration of Darrell’s life” later on when most of the “summer folk” are back. We hope to have it at Salty Dog, the home that Darrell and Bob loved to come to in the summer. We will let people know as soon as we have a date.
In the mean time I have talked to Bob and was pleased with the call and told him we hope very much that he will come up this summer for a rest. We will all help out in what ever way we can.
Love Bliss

Several days before Darrell passed away, Rosanne shared the following thoughts with me:

Darrell has touched countless lives, this is a fact.
Always generous, like the stunning bouquets which
graced Darrell & Bob’s Nova Scotian home, arranged
with love from the bounty of the wilds by Mary Ann
during her visit with dear Miriam. His friendships are
rich like Ken’s pies, warm as was Bill’s choice of appetizer.
His spirit, always adventuresome, as the hike taken with
Marlene and Don through the vault to The Bay. These past
few weeks, looking out towards the bay , which he & Bob love,
watching the sunsets, it is hard not to think of Darrell, who
believes, just before the sun dips below the horizon his mother
is sending him a kiss.

Love to all~
Rosanne & Murray and many purrs from our tribe
