Hey Daddy, it's been 3 years today that god has taken you. Christmas is not the same nor will it ever be. But, we do have to go on and make happy memories with each other and your grandkids for the future.
You are loved and missed just as much today as you have been since the day you left us. I know your looking down and watching over us.
Love and miss you...xoxoxo

I miss and Love you Daddy. The pain and anger never goes away. When God called you home our family became broken and it will always be broken but we will continue to stay strong and be there for each other. When I find myself laying there crying I just remember we all have to have our time because none of us can live Forever. There will be a time when God calls us with you.... but until that time we all can only do our very best on this path called Life and be there for each other. All of your grandchildren Love you so much and miss you Daddy. It's never Goodbye. Just because you are in heaven you still live in each and everyone of us. You will always live in my heart and appear in my dreams :innocent:. Your my angel.

Unforgettable you are. Such a beautiful & complex person all at once. It's still unbelievable that you're gone. And I cry randomly at the memory of you regularly. While all memories are happy, I have not come to the place where I can just hang your picture because I just still can't believe that you're not here & break down & cry. But I do realize I will come to that place because our family memories are just that great! And you're way to special of a person to be forgotten and to not still be greatly missed! I think always of writing a message here to get my feelings out but most times get upset at this being my only way to 'talk to you'. But today being your birthday I feel urged to write a message. I & we love & miss you beyond measure!!!!!!! Strong, loving, caring, dependable, protective, tough, street, no nonsense, not about no games, fun, about family, like no other & loved forever by our family!!!! Happy birthday in heaven daddy!!!!!!! xoxoxo

Daddy I miss you. One thing for sure it never gets any easier. The pain will always remain no matter how much time passes. It will always feel like it's not real. I know life goes on but our family will never be the same. We love you Daddy. You should see the boys. Javari, Tristan and Devon has got so big. Stesja and Lyric are young ladies now. They both are doing so good you would be so proud. They all send you great big hugs and kisses. Mommy is doing good and we all stay close together. She talks to Pearl everyday. Pearl loves and misses you and she's doing ok also. I pray you have found your complete peace in Heaven. I Love and miss you Daddy and one day I will be in Heaven with you. Until then, I pray God keeps me healthy and strong so that I can continue to take care of the boys and be in their lives. We all love you Papa aka Daddy aka the Master:smile: Hugs and kisses from your daughter Samara :heart::hugging_face:

Happy 2019 New Year in Heaven Big Daddy!
I am going into my third year without you
Can you believe it's been that long?
I think you know by now that no matter what I do in this life
The spirit of you rides with me
Slipping in at any given moment, unexpectedly,
Before I lay my head down for the night,
In the birth of a new day, in the words of a song,
At times causing me great confusion and melancholy
As it, sometimes, still feels like yesterday
I won't lie and say that it's easy to move on
Everywhere I go, you move with me
Maybe that's the way it's supposed to be
I just know I wish I could go back to sleep
And wake up to find it was all a bad dream
But you're not suffering any longer
So I rest in the assurance that this had to be
You are stronger, freer and have found a peace
That does not exist in the same realm on earth as it is in Heaven
Though I know this, I find myself doing things
Just to keep some sanity
We took a 12:00 am midnight toast on New Year's Eve
And I raised my glass upwards, remembering you
Yvonne was right, she said we were made for each other
Remember how natural she said we looked together?
Well, sleep in peace, Big Daddy
The day will come when we shall be reunited
When my days are gone and I've fulfilled my calling
I'll love you, always and forever
Pray for me,
Pussycat

I think about you every. Single. Day. And somehow, almost 2 years later, like a nightmare that I cannot wake up from, I am constantly smacked in the face with the realization that I can't see you anymore. I would give anything to be able to talk to you to hear your voice. Sometimes I still do. :) sometimes I can almost hear what you would say to me in some situations. And I still hear what you have said to me in the past & it brings me comfort. I have to find peace in knowing that we WILL see each other again. I am still amazed @ the profound affect you have on our family. You are a special man & an even more special father. In my eyes. The best. Unconditional love. I think ALOT about how in denial I had to be when you were about to leave the earth. No matter what doctors & nurss said my mind could not wrap around that day actually coming. So I feel that there were things I didn't do & things I wish I said. And my fear is that you left here not knowing just how much you meant to me. So so much!!! We were always close & we talked so much but daddy I hope you truly know, I love you sooooo much. And now I miss you maybe even more. And I hope you knew. Sometimes I hid emotions not wanting to hurt you because I know your greatest concern was all of us. But now I wish I would've really listened to aunt Estelle & let it out. I love you & nothing or no one can take your place. Life is robbed of a certain joy and there is a heaviness in my heart that I can't shake. I just have to live with it. And because of your fierce determination to take care of & protect us, we are still the closest family with so much love. No matter what, we have each other. And THATS what gets us through. Because of you. xoxoxo

HAPPY BLESSED 70TH BIRTHDAY, BIG DADDY!
Your second birthday in Heaven
I miss you so much on your big landmark day
But my love for you does not diminish with time
It grows like ivy wrapping itself around me
Holding me intact, keeping me from unraveling
Knowing that Heaven knows no time
You are forever mine and I, forever yours
Memories of our 44 years wallpaper my mind
As our dreams travel down this heaven-bound road
No matter where my path winds, it leads back to you
Don't be distressed if you see tears stream down my face
For they are only wells of love overflowing from my heart
I love you with all my heart and soul, Big Daddy
Your spirit is ALWAYS AND FOREVER with me

PEACE
Big Daddy, you are gone from me, but your spirit is not
I know there are many who don't understand this comfort
This refuge, this solace that I find in the encompass of your memory
I wish I could say the things I feel in my heart to you right now
And let you know that I now
Understand
I think of those late night drives
Where we sat by the bay watching the sea eagles choose partners
Then waltz up to the sky and drift on the midnight horizon
While bobbing waves steal rays of moonlight
That illuminates their entrancing motion
I now write these words for you and, somehow,
I feel you identify with them
Somehow, I feel life's sequel raises the lid off sorrows and grief
Permitting them to merge and dissipate into the air above
In a peace that commands all things unsettled to be tranquil
And, in this peace is where we rendezvous
My soul reaches out for yours and yours for mine
No one is given invitation to our reunion
It is forever, eternal, sacred
And though another may, occasionally, bring a beam to my face
No one can take your place
No one can take your space
You are my King and I am your Queen
And time stands still in the acknowledgment of our regalness
And I shed a few tears that cleanse away the bitterness
And all that remains is the beauty of our adoration
And it is all I will ever need for
All the days of my life
With All My Love,
FOREVER AND ALWAYS

Happy Father's Day, Big Daddy! - June 17, 2018
My birthday falls on Father's Day this year
So I will celebrate, together, with you and remember
The 44 years we shared and how we celebrated each year
Together
Baby, your memory is just as new today as it was that first year,
I play those romantic 70's sounds and still think of you
And all of those middle-of-the-night rendezvouz
It's bittersweet but also fulfilling,
Remembering you and me
And the life we shared, together, with our blessed family
This is what gets me by and through each day
You are never really gone from me because you live in my soul
And though I wish to God that you were here with me
I feel your spirit and it's like an eternal candle
That nothing in this universe can extinguish
By the light of this candle I am reborn and renewed
So Happy Father's Day to you, Big Daddy
As I still wear your ring and am yours until the end of time
ALWAYS AND FOREVER!
That's how long I'm gonna love you!!

Happy 45th Anniversary in Heaven, Big Daddy,
It's over a year since you passed, but it seems like yesterday
Yet no matter how long, it still feels alive
We were two people of little words
Words between us were those glances
They say the eyes are the mirror of the soul
And our eyes spoke for what was in our hearts
I miss those mid-morning talks where we would wake up
Around 3:00 am in the morning and listen to soft soul R& B
Creating our own dance and our own beat
It meant a lot to me then, but I never knew just how much
Until you were gone
Keep a place warm for me for when my days are through
I want to spend eternity with you
I found that love doesn't die with death,
It just transcends into something incomparable
And it helps me to hold on knowing, in spirit,
We still have each other
No one can take that from us
LOVE IS ETERNAL
You are, always and forever, my Big Daddy
Love ALWAYS & FOREVER,
Pussycat

Thinking about you
Our 45th anniversary slowly approaching, May 12th 2018
If you were here it would feel like yesterday
Our love is always new no matter how old our bodies become
I miss your holding me asleep
We made those chairs for each other
I'd sit in yours and you'd sit in mine
Those comforting chairs that gave us rest at the end of the day
And all through the night
I miss your eyes telling me you were glad I was there
And that laugh of yours that let me know the weed had kicked in
And you were ready for anything
And I miss those shots of E & J that made us teenage crazy
I wish your life could have been less troubled
I know you sought a security that said everything was going to be alright
I wanted to give you that and I hope, somehow, that I did
I felt secure and laid-back throughout our nights together
Like a kitten snuggled up against its mother
And my heart purred with fulfillment
I pray that your spirit is comforted and that the puzzle of life
Has given you the key to its essence
What we didn't understand here on earth opening up like a window
Blowing in its rejuvenating breath
I hope that each and every one of us finds that peace
At the last mile of the way
Knowing love such as ours and that of our families
Only confirms that there is more to life than what resides here on earth
Rest in forever peace, Big Daddy
It brings me peace to know your heavy laden has been left behind
I know you always wanted the best for us
You deserve no less
Never doubt that we don't feel this for you
And never doubt our love for you
Always and Forever, Big Daddy
I will love you

Hey Big Daddy,
This morning I'm listening to our music we used to listen to when we were in our 20's. I'm feeling your spirit and, though I am in tears because, sometimes, it becomes so clear that you are no longer here with me in person and it still hurts, your spirit is still strong inside my heart. I'm at work and I had to put my glasses on because I'm sitting here with eyes full of tears. I miss you and I'm wishing you could be here but I know that we are never really apart because your spirit lives inside of me. Be a good Angel and do God's will because I am looking to be an Angel one day with you. I love you, FOREVER! Smooth sailing is playing right now by the Isley Brothers and that's how life will be for us, one day, SMOOTH SAILING!! I love you, Big Daddy!
Always and Forever,

Hey Big Daddy!
Happy Valentine's Day Big Daddy! On this day I think of how you always gave me a Valentine's Day card which always expressed words I know were in your heart but couldn't say them, verbally. I could read between the lines and I knew that when you looked at me, these were the words your heart was saying that your lips could not say. I know you would say that you held back because you weren't able to come right out with the words but you always showed me by the beautiful cards you would select and the gifts you would shower me with. You always were my protector and NEVER let anyone mess with me or hurt me and that was another way you showed me how much you cared. I look at all the beautiful lingerie and clothes in my closet and it must be half of it that came from you. You were always very complimentary of me with your eyes even if not the words. Once-in-awhile you would find the words and you would say them. I never came right out and told you that I, secretly, would model them for you and watch in the mirror to see your reaction. I could see you watching me, very closely, with that look on your face that only I knew what it meant!! [LOL!!] So, now, when I wear one of those pieces that you bought for me or that you really liked, I think of that look in the mirror that would make me smile to myself and say, "Oh, yeah, he's looking and he likes what he sees!!" So, I wish you "Happy Valentine's Day in Heaven", baby, and I love you with all my mind, heart, body and soul! Do all the things in Heaven that Angels do and one day I will be an Angel and will spread my wings to fly with you.
I love you, Always and Forever, Big Daddy!

Happy Holidays in Heaven, Big Daddy!
I know you got my Christmas wishes in heaven that I posted on FB. Funny how you and I hated the idea of FB but now I'm sending you msg after msg via FB. But this msg is personal and not to be shared by anyone other than close family.
None of us can believe that a year has gone by. All day Christmas, I kept picturing you last year and we knew, then, we were going to lose you. You held on last year to be with us on earth on last Christmas and I believe you knew we were right there with you. God is merciful and could not let you suffer any longer and, though we miss you SOOOOO much, we didn't want you suffering any longer.
While working today, I've been listening to songs that remind me of you. Right now, Sensuality by the Isley Bros. is playing and I remember how we loved that song. I listened to the Flamingos' "I Only Have Eyes for You", Jerry Butler's "I Need to Belong to Someone" (I can hear you singing this), Gene Chandler's "Rainbow" and also "Just be true to me". I hear you singing the words "We're kids no more, baby, we belong, you and me, together....................Just be true, to me". I also listened to the Whispers this morning. When we first met, you liked their "I Only Meant to Wet My Feet". I remember you saying that's how you felt about me, that you didn't plan to fall but like the song says, "I pulled you in.........". We loved all these groups but The Whispers and the Isley Bros. were our favorites.
We had a pajama breakfast Christmas Eve morning and we mentioned you in our prayer that Devon began. His heart was full and he had much he wanted to say and we helped him get it out because all of our hearts were full. I know you felt the words locked inside of Devon's heart and I know you know how all of us are feeling.
Remember Yvonne telling us that she watched us together, once, and said, "You two belong together!" She was right. We shared many same dreams. And I soon realized that our differences complimented each other. You were firm and I was soft. You helped me take a step forward when I needed to and I helped you take one back when you needed to. Opposites do attract, the law of physics. The opposite ends of magnets attract each other.,
New Years will be here this weekend. I will see it in, with you in my heart, and we will be there, together. I know you already know I have been WELL taken care of by "the crew" so I know you're not worried. God is taking care of you and that makes me feel better to know. The kids are right, we will ALL see you, again, when our days are gone from earth. I love you and miss you, SOOOO much, sometimes unbearably, but I know I have to pull myself together and live and try to do as much as I can to make this world a better place. You and I talked about that, a lot, trying to think of what we could do. So I will continue that and I will do things, in remembrance of you, knowing that this is a dream that we both talked about.
We will be wishing you a Happy New Year's in Heaven, Big Daddy, at 12:00 a.m. New Year's Eve night! I will ALWAYS love you, with ALL OF MY HEART!!

Father!!!! When I walked in I would say Father!!! You would say Daughter!!! That's just one of the many things I miss.
It has been one whole year since god has taken you away from us. I miss you so much. This year has been bittersweet. Although it has been so hard not having you here with us, we know this is apart of life. We are such a close family. I think that is what gets us through this.
Christmas was very hard this year. I remember you and mommy coming through in the morning to drop gifts off to all of our houses. The visits were never long. You bring gifts and then say Gwen are you ready...lol. Even though they were short visits, they were always something I looked forward to.
I miss you so much daddy. Just like Samara said. I know you are looking down on us smiling. I know you were here with us on Christmas.
I'm not gonna say goodbye, but see you later
We will be together as a family again
love you sooo much
Your youngest
PS we are taking care of mommy, But she sure can talk and eat a lot. She stays on the phone an digs in the fridge all the time (our secret). I know you know this because I remember you saying Gwen can go boy...lol.

There are no words to describe the feelings that I've had this past year. It's been a year since you have been with us physically Daddy and I constantly wish I can go back and change so many things but today I'm going to Just Thank God for keeping our family strong and for keeping our family together.
I know you are smiling down on us from heaven. I know you are here. I miss the life we all had with you. The numbness feeling like this is not real will never go away but I put all my trust in God that this is just temporary as we continue to live our life's and that one day we'll be back as a family eternally.

Hey daddy. I cannot believe how fast a year went by. But it actually feels like forever since I've been able to talk to you. We've been always spending time together & trying to make the holidays nice to give the family special memories & to try to have happiness in this crazy world. But, you set this foundation for us! Just by how you loved us so much & it always showed! So everything we do is in your memory! You were always so excited to help us or do stuff you knew would make us happy. Keith is like a big kid @ Xmas, he can't wait to give something to me & the girls that he knows we'll love & it reminds me so much of you. Well I know you're watching over us so you know we're taking care of mommy! It's not the same without you here! Love & miss you soooo much!

I miss you Daddy. I just wanted to let you know that was a beautiful dream I had of you last night. It made me happy. I dream of you all the time, the one I had last week really broke me down but I also believe there was a message for me in that dream. It hurts to wake up knowing how close you were to me in my dream but I can't see you when I wake up. It seems the moon has been following me. Every night I leave work and I look up to see the bright moon. It follows me all the way home and shines bright above us. I talk to the moon all the time believing you are right there. That you are that bright moon watching over us. No, things will never be the same but I believe you are ok and you are there. That's what helps get me through. I Love you Daddy! :heart::hugging_face:

Hey Big Daddy!
Yesterday was 10 months since you've been gone. I can't believe it's almost a year. I'm just now being able to shed tears more freely. I kept fighting it, not that I haven't cried many times, but I always checked it and held back. I guess I was afraid that if I let go, completely, I wouldn't be able to stop.
I often wonder if you're aware of how much I think of you, of how much I think of how you suffered and wondered if I was able to make it a little better just being with you in your final days. I tried to hold back some feelings because I didn't want to depress you so I smiled a lot when I felt like crying. I felt you needed to see me holding up so that it would be easier for you to stay positive. I could see God taking you, little by little, as each day went by and I just didn't want to see you suffer any longer. The night God took you, I knew it was time and your spirit was, slowly, departing, but it was the hardest thing in my life that I've ever done. Once I realized that you had passed onto Him, I was numb. I was relieved that you no longer had to suffer, but I was numb to the fact that I would never see you in this lifetime, again.
I sleep at night with your picture laying on top of my little Bible that was Ma's and I place them right next to my pillow. If I awake in the night and can't go back to sleep and start thinking about things, I just pick up the Bible and your picture and lay it on my stomach and say a prayer to God to help me through the night. He always does even if it takes a couple of hours. I often tell Him to let you know we are alright but we love and miss you and that will always be. I tell Him to take care of you and I say to God, "Tell my Baby I love him!"
So RIPARADISE, Big Daddy. I'm sure God has you doing His work for the rest of us here and I know you are made whole again in a different realm of time and space. When my days are over here, I will join you in that time and space and sorrows will be behind.
I love you with all my heart and soul,

Hey daddy. The 1st bday that you weren't here with us for came almost 2 weeks ago. I had a lot of anxiety about it coming. I knew it would be hard. And it was. But for me, it was mostly like everyday since you left us. Unspeakable sadness. Life is just not the same. There's a hole in my heart. Too miss someone so much that you re-realize what you already know. Death is so final. I can never speak to you or see you again. I don't know when it will ever get any better. I can't listen to any O'Jays, Curtis Mayfield or Isley Brother's songs or so many old songs period, which I have always loved to do! Something is always missing! It's a shame that I'm the oldest & I have to look to my younger sister's for comfort. And of course, always mommy. There words are so inspirational. And I guess I do realize that you ARE ALWAYS with us. In spirit. Your love & your presence & your guidance & protection of your family was so strong that it has to be everlasting!!! Keith & Sean made a comment to me that I'm always saying "my father used to tell me..." so don't stop listening to him now! :) And with the flowers that Aunt Estelle dedicated for your service, on the card she wrote "Death is not the last sleep. It is the Final awakening" I thank god everday! For this family that we have... that you were the leader of! That you did everything in your power to hold together & take care of. I love you so much! I will see you again. :purple_heart::purple_heart::purple_heart: Love always your oldest daughter Angie

Happy Birthday Daddy,
I knew this was going to be the toughest Birthday of all and it is. It hurts to much to think of last year, the painful memories are unbearable so I try concentrating on other things. Knowing that right now you are with God. I ask God to talk to you all the time. I ask God to let you know how much we Love you. I ask God to take your hand and guide you through Heaven. I ask God to show me a sign that you are here with us. I ask God to always stay by your side.
I know no matter what we have to get out of that bed and make the most of every day. We are getting through this together. I pray I'm on this earth for a very long time to be with the family and watch my Children start their own families, but when God do decide to take me I pray its you who will come to meet me on the other side to bring me to the rest of our family. Papa, Mema, Big Ma, Eddie Bee and the others. :)
I Love and miss you so much.. xoxo

Happy Birthday Big Daddy!
I have been thinking of this 1st birthday to come after God's taking of you to be in His Kingdom 9 months ago. I have felt your spirit on many days and I know you are here with me and watching over me.
I know you are aware of the love I and the entire family have for you that is everlasting. Today is the first day of the celebration of your life that we will share with you, today and every year forthcoming, on your birthday. For me, I am very sad to not have you here with me, but am glad to know that when my journey is done on earth, I will, again, be with you in God's holy forever.
I pray, every day, for God to give me strength and to use the love I have for you to power me through my earthly life. I learn more each day that it is love that makes the world go 'round and loving you keeps me grounded and shows me how to see the needs of so many others in this world who are in need and who need our help. I know if you were physically here, with all the disasters, you would want us both to take part, wherever possible, to ease the pain of those who are hurting and suffering. I know God took you because He didn't want you to suffer anymore, but He had to leave you long enough so that we could all share our bond with you and carry this love on, not only through our family, but to all those who are out there and who are in need.
We think of others, in remembrance of you, because you taught us how to love through the unconditional love that you have always had for us. It is this unconditional love that gives us strength and courage and helps us through our journey, knowing that by helping others we are continuing on with those things that you would have done if your presence was here on this earth. So know that your spirit is felt in us and with this spirit we will continue to be pioneers for the good and well-being of all mankind because that is why God sent you to us, to teach us what love is really all about.
I will love you, always and forever. I will carry you in my heart, always and forever. Not a day will go by without me thinking of you and I will stand tall, in the name of God, and in remembrance of you.
Love you with all my heart and soul, always and forever,

Hi Daddy!
I have been dreaming about you just about every night. Last night we were all in the house together and you put your jacket on, picked up your keys, and asked to drive one of our cars to the store. I wish I can remember everything.... I have so many dreams of you but I can only remember bits and pieces.
To me you are always still with us, we are all here on this earth only temporary, you are the one that's home. Ever since God took you I try to understand Life more and more. I never really thought about what's next....Is there more..... but I know its not over. I know its not the end. I know your Soul is out there. I want to stop getting angry because I know God has a plan for all of us. I want to stop thinking about what you had to go through....instead I want to think about how you are at peace now, smiling down on us.
Mommy is ok Daddy, we are all taking care of her. Mommy, Leonora, Sean and Javari are all in the house together. I know you are with her every day. She won a few dollars on you and her anniversary the other day. :) I'm still waiting for that 328 to come out. (smile) Pearl and Fruit are the only one's who have been having any luck with this Lottery stuff.
Since your journey in Heaven there is one dream I will NEVER forget. One dream that I
think of all the time. One dream that makes me beyond happy. A dream to help me get through this. I was laying on Angie's couch and when I woke up I just laid there. Thank you, that will always be very Special to me. I'm giving you back that hand symbol again.
I LOVE YOU! I MISS YOU AND I LOVE YOU! WE ARE FOREVER!
Your daughter, Samara xoxo

Not as much as I love you, Big Daddy! I know you wrote the words above through one of our daughters!!! I know you were there with me on my birthday and on Father's Day. Thinking of you and thinking of us made it the best holiday weekend I could have right now! I go to sleep EVERY night with your picture on the pillow next to me and the Bible laying on the bed beside us. I know you had a "forever peaceful" father's day because I know you are comforted knowing that we will ALL be there one glorious day to come!! You and me are "Forever Always" and this helps me get through each day and night that God has numbered for me! I will keep the faith until the day God calls me and we WILL see each other, again!!!
I LOVE YOU, BIG DADDY!!! ALWAYS AND FOREVER!!!!

Happy Fathers Day in heaven Daddy!!! I love and miss you so much. Just like Samara said, we know you're with us.
The funny thing is, I've been asking god, why haven't I had many dreams about my father. I've been praying every night that you would come to me in my dreams. He answered my prayers last night. You were in my dream. It was for a short period of time, but you were healthy, strong and Protecting your family. The dream was very silly, but you were there.
I love you and know, we will all be together again....xoxoxoxoxo

Daddy I really miss you. I miss seeing you. I miss hearing your voice. I can still hear your sound advice & your comforting words. Stesja & Lyric are always remembering the happy memories they have with you & so am I. My sisters' & mommy's & aunt Estelle's words are very comforting. And I do see how you are still here with all of us. Like that time I heard easy like Sunday morning by the Commodores on the over head speakers @ Ihop. It felt like you were watching over us. And I was watching the New Edition movie & when they were really young & just starting out they were rehearsing to holding on by LTD. The song plays over & over in my head. It reminds me so much of you. Your laugh & your spirit. You are always & forever in my heart & memory. No other love is like yours. Love your oldest daughter- Angie

Leon wasn't just my brother-in-law, he was more like my big brother. I knew him since I was a kid! Life seemed to get in the way of spending time together in recent years like in the early days. But I was blessed to spend some time with him during his last few months with us. I will always cherish memories we made long ago, and I will particularly cherish those latter days, even though they were difficult for him. He showed strength and courage throughout his fight and never gave up. Even though he was sick, he always found a way to make me laugh. He was aware that all those around him were concerned, and he wanted us to stop worrying.
I'm amazed at the legacy he left behind in the form of his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. The whole family is full of love for each other and loving memories of Leon. He was able to steer them in the right direction, so he's one of the reasons they are all such wonderful people. And his love for my sister was immeasurable.
We had passionate discussions about politics and life in general, and I often wonder what he would think of our world today. I loved him and will always miss him on this side of Heaven.
See You Later, Bro! XOXOXOXOXOXO

Daddy I Love you soooo much. I miss you every day. I asked God to take care of you so I know you are ok.
You said this is Life and I know none of us are here forever but I do believe once we part from this earth our souls will be reunited and we will be together forever. Our extended family in Heaven.
Daddy you are in my heart always. Kisses and Hugs!
Love your daughter Samara aka boss lady:kissing_heart:

TO THE LOVE OF MY LIFE
My yearning heart journeys, through this life here on Earth
At a time where you and I, had just begun new Rebirth
In our soul we shared dreams, that resided unspoken
We held on even firmer, during times our hearts were broken
In words I never expressed, you were the love of my life
A part of God's Master Plan, yoking husband and wife
We were blessed with generations, that shall carry on our name
God's testament of a blessing, that no power can disclaim
You are my soul mate, my teacher, my love, my best friend
A foundation to a life, not even death itself can end
Though I tread through a shadow, where life has its season
We're comforted all exists, owning purpose and reason
God took you, in His mercy, and in His will we must trust
Abiding inside His arms, encircled around us to encrust
I hold my head high, as amid this life I must travel
As God lays down before me, His guiding steps for my gravel
The memories we've created, will give rise to my tomorrows
Becoming a place of my refuge, where I convert all my sorrows
We shall reunite, once again, where Heaven's sky is our dome
And be together, forever, in God's Holy Permanent Home
Your Loving Wife, Always and Forever
