I was so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all of you.
I'm still swinging in the swing that Durwood made for Danny to give for my birthday many years ago. Danny was right when he said, "It's not a swing unless Durwood made it".
Jay was just last week talking about how much he thought of Durwood and what a good man he was. Jay's out of town and doesn't know about your loss yet. I'm sure he'll contact you when he get's back.
Please know I'm here if there is anything I can do for you during this difficult time. Sending you love from my heart! Carolyn Ball

To the Haymore Family, I want to send my condolences on the passing of Mr. Haymore. I didn't know him as well as other members of the family and for all of you I send my deepest prayers. I don't live at home anymore and haven't seen the family in many years but the memories I have of each of you are very fondly felt. Miss you all.
