Darrell Wallace, Jr. took to Twitter today to thank Dale Earnhardt, Jr. for lending him his plane to take a trip to Knoxville, Tennessee to see his grandmother before her passing.

Wallace also posted a letter to his grandmother, Jan, on his Twitter reflecting on some of the fond memories he had with her over the years.

We at FOXSports.com offer our condolences to Bubba and his entire family in their time of grieving.

Thank you @DaleJr and your pilot as well as @2Spotter for allowing me to get one last visit with her in Knoxville. True friend Jr, thanks.
