Eulogy
Hi, for those of you that don't know us, my name is Darryl and this is Kelly and on behalf of our family and aunti Sherryl we would like to thank all of you for coming today to say good-bye to our uncle Darren. Some of you knew him as Darren, some as Dag and some as Dean. As you all know, uncle Darren was raised and lived in Edam most of his life. He attended school here and most of you even went with him. There are probably many stories that you guys could tell about things you did with him,....some good....some maybe shouldn't be mentioned but all happened while having a good time. Anyone that knew my uncle Darren knows that he was a kind man who cared very much for Grandma and Grandpa Bergeron. For example when he stayed home to help grandma care for grandpa when he became ill with cancer. Later on he did the same for grandma when she became so ill right up until she passed away in December. I have known uncle Darren all my life and we spent many good times together. He was the first to show me how to play video games and also got me interested in sports. Right up until his passing we shared many phone calls and text messages regarding football and Nascar. He would tease me continually about my team and player choices and I did the same to him. He told me more than once about the Nascar women not having any teeth. We loved to talk about NFL football. I will miss uncle Darren very much because I knew he was just a text message away and that he was always there for me. It wasn't until after uncle Darren passed away that my dad found out that he belonged to an on-line poker club for five years. In that time he made some good friends who relayed their thoughts of him to my dad. They all said what a good friend he was to them and how much they appreciated having him in their lives. They said he was very proud of his native heritage and that he had many conversations with them about numerous things such as sports, politics, music and movies. He was always up for a good discussion on any of these subjects. I have only touched on just a few things that they mentioned but its not hard to tell that he cared for and was good friend to them. Having said all this, Roxanne and Heidi have been kind enough to invite all of us to the Vawn Hotel so that we can have a drink to celebrate uncle Darren's life and maybe share some stories. Thank you.

Miss Me - But Let Me Go
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little - but not too long
And not with your heads bowed low.
Remember the fun that we once shared
Miss me - but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of the Master's plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick of heart
Go to the friends we know.
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss Me - But Let Me Go!
