"This Man's Work"
Pray God you can cope
I'll stand outside
This man's work
This man's world
Oh it's hard on the woman
Now his part is over
Now starts the craft of the Father
I know you've got a little life in you yet
I know you've got a lot of strength left
I know you've got a little life in you yet
I know you've got a lot of strength left
I should be crying but I just can't let it show
I should be hoping but I can't stop thinking
All the things we should've said that I never said
All the things we should've done but we never did
All the things we should've given but I didn't
Oh, darling, make it go, make it go away
Give me these moments
Give them back to me
Give me your little kiss
Give me your...
I know you have a little life in you yet
Give me your hand, babe
I know you have a lot of strength left
Give me your pretty hand
I know you have a little life in you yet
Oh oh oh
I know you have a lot of strength left
I know you have a little life in you yet
Whatever you need me
I know you have a lot of strength left
Give me your hand
I know you have a little life in you yet
Give me your hand
I know you have a lot of strength left
I should be crying but I just can't let it show, baby
I should be hopin' but I can't stop thinkin'
Of all the things we should've said that we never said
All the things we should've done that we never did
All the things that you wanted from me
All the things that you needed from me
All the things I should've given but I didn't
Oh, darling, make it go away, just make it go away
Still missing you buddy!! Jordan
Miss you!! Belisle
Love You!! Mom
I just want to say hello because I miss you so much. I wish you here because I want so badly to talk to you about social and cultural history and politics. I want to talk to you about critical pedagogy. I want so badly to talk with someone who will get angry and frustrated with me, someone who wants to be drama with me and throw his hands up in protest at the events that are unfolding, at the bulls hit I have to put up with in the American education system. I just want to talk to you over a couple slices of NY pizza and a can or two of Coke. I just wish I had a quarter of the passion and perserverence you had in your lifetime. Even though it's been a couple years, you continue to touch me and motivate me, and I'm thankful for that. I love you Uncle D.
I love you so much! I wish you were here to visit my new little apartment, but I know you're probably more comfortable in heaven, just chillin' on a cloud and what not. You continue to be such a role model for me; I gather so much strength from you. In my darkest days I think of you and your strength and your courage. You continue to motivate me, and though I need to learn to complain less in life, I stay focused. It's the last year of school and I know you'd be proud of me. You'd probably be relieved as well, since it's taking a while but proud nonetheless. Thanks for always being there for me, even today. I love you, Uncle D. Enjoy your birthday, Mexican :-)
I really did not know how instrumental he was in my son Jordan's life, but he was. The daily phone calls, the positive pep talks, the phone calls, the phone calls, did I mention the phone calls...you get the message. Today I'm wishing for one of those phone calls to my son.
Thanks for all you did and you are truly missed.
Beezle
I miss you so much! You have been on my mind so much and I am so thankful that you were and still are a part of my life. I know you would be here asking me. "You're almost finished with school, right?" Then I'd say, "Just about," hoping you didn't think I was wasting my time in school. I promise I'm not!
It has been a tough transition for me with relocating and living on my own, but I know you are watching over me. It is because of you that I can keep moving forward. There are bad days and then there are horrible/terrible days, but then I think of you and the strength you carried. Knowing your strength keeps me thankful for everyday and shapes my days into better ones. I am able to pick myself up just a little bit more.
I really wish you were here to talk to. I've matured a lot and I think you and I would enjoy talking about politics, world events, and the U.S. education system together. But when I see you someday we'll have unlimited time to talk. And because I know you're watching everything I can ask, "Do you remember?"
I love you, Uncle D and always will.
Oh, and as for the boys that try to speak to me, I know you'd be proud of the knuckle heads I have avoided so far. School comes first, right Uncle D?!

from your lil couzin mel
Darrold even tho its been years since i last saw you,I do remember when you did get on the phone it was to tell me how beautiful mykids were or what a good job i was doing on my own. I can say you and mom had the loudest mouth in the family always starting up the partys with the jokes & the laugh we had. Monopoly was our family secret, you were know for your poderbun u made it was just right sugar & all. i tell you couzin that even tho we did not talk for whatever reason that i did love you as my couzin for the good days & the bad days we had. it might be someone in our lives we love & i know life is not perfect but i tell you darrold that you were a wake up call for me also because i never got to tell you i love you.i know how it feels to loose a mom but a child or a brother or a sister i cannot aunt marie or how none of my couzin feels loosing a brother. i can tell you i hope & pray that this family can come together as one with the love that darrold & my mom lived on your lil couzin mel
With love from Enid, Lola, Letteria, Doyle, Abraham
Dear Kay, Marcia, Charlena, Charles, Lamar (Harton), Haddan, Tyrone:
I am sending heartfelt condolences to you on Darrold's passing. Death is always sad and distressing; and when it is a sibling it is even more so. I find that any words one searches for to express sympathy are inadequate. Nevertheless, it is the only thing we can do at this distance and if you can hug each other for us those embraces will act as a sign of our love
We love you and will remember you and Darrold's soul in our prayers
I had the opportunity to speak to your mother and I know you will give her the support she so badly needs at this difficult time.
With much love,
Enid, Lola, Letteria, Doyle, Abraham.
To My Family from Darrold Simon
This letter was written by Darrold to his family on his hospitalization in New York
For all the good I've known during the days that have passed, I am very grateful. I know that I have not always responded with my best effort, but I often did earnestly try. I have tried to give my family Love and Devotion, and I pray that I may grow more loving as the years passes.
Even as I regret my weaknesses, I rejoice in my accomplishments. Let these achievements, O Lord, lead to many others. May I be blessed with the sense of having grown with goodness and compassion, I pray.
Darrold Simon
" God be praised"
