I am saddened to know that I lost a part of my heart. I unfortunately did not know anything happened until just recently. You can ask those around me when I did find out just how broken I was and have been. I would never have not been a part of the opportunity to say good-bye. I am deeply sorry that I wasn't there. I have special treasures from Telly from when we were kids in middle school together. I still have the notes he wrote me and the memories we shared. I even remember getting pink oil based paint on Darlene's couch when I helped paint the dining room at their home on Amherst. Although I haven't seen or talked to Telly in quite sometime, I miss him. I truly loved him, and will hold all the memories and treasures close to my heart. Stand By Me will never be the same song ever again. I have a voice recorded cassette tape he made for me before I moved away years ago, an irreplaceable treasure to still hear his voice and know he's not far away. Darlene, if you would like to have a copy I will gladly make one for you. :) Much love and deepest sympathies.##imported-begin##Vickie Southland##imported-end##
