Daddy I can honestly say within the past 10 years you have been consistent with me and showing me the love that a daughter is supposed to have from a father. You would consistently call and keep in contact with your grandkids, and I don't know if it was because you knew you were getting sick and we had to mend our relationship. I am so grateful to have shared these last couple of years with you. I'm going to miss the phone calls and the voice messages of you saying.... Girl Girl this your daddy give me a call.. I love you. I still have them saved in my phone. In your last days you prayed with me and accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior... Take your rest daddy. We got it from here !!!!! I love you. Girl -Girl

Father, Dad but most importantly my creator. I wouldn't exist, if it wasn't for you. All of your genes/traits are instilled in me and I'm sure to carry on your D.N.A, so you will forever live on. The gratitude of love I have for you, is unmeasurable. You will truly be missed but your memories will live on because you are a lovable, caring, cool zza Dad. No doubt! I miss you and I love you Dad. I rest assure you, we will meet up again because death in inevitable, we all have to go through it, so go ahead and get your rest. I see you when it's my time. I love you always and forever. You in me, I in you. 1❤️!
