I have been reading and watching videos, between the water works. Trying to understand why he was taken. The GOOD BROTHER. The god-father to my children. The one that I always knew that when push came to shove he had my back. I feel so alone now. Not that I don’t have a wonderful family. Life will just never be the same without him.
On the Evansville Courier I learned some things. There are other people on this earth that are heroes too. To Firemed218’s wife, thank you for stopping and rendering aid to both my brother and my niece. I can’t imagine how hard that was on you. Firemed218 posted that there were many bystanders that tried to help, none judging, just comforting to my niece who tried desperately to wake up her grandpa.
To Danny H. Jones the driver of the dump truck, I hope you find peace. My heart hurts for you. I can only imagine how this must be affecting you. You were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. You are in my thoughts.
We may never know what really happened, as the only witness that we know of was my brother. I choose to believe that he was just distracted in some way, and did what he could to minimize the danger to his grand daughter. He loved her so.
I want to thank all of those who have posted positively, who have sent their prayers, thoughts and love to the family. If my niece who is just 12, ever goes back to look up the reports I hope these are the ones she sees, and not the negative comments from people who have no clue.
Thank you to all the citizens who stopped, firefighters, medics and police that tried so hard to help my brother.
Hug your loved ones, and tell them you love them. Because believe me in the blink of an eye, when you least expect it, they could be gone.
R.I.P. Danny R. Berry Nov 8, 1958 – Dec 21, 2011
You will never be forgotten, you remain forever in our hearts.
