Daddy: I know you are in Heaven and even though you are not here on earth, You are in our hearts forever. Your spirit lives on. I am so happy we had a great phone talk the night before you fell ill. I'm even more grateful for the Saturday, Mar 3, you were feeling well enough to talk to each of us, be a part of Ezra's 1st birthday and laugh about me shaving you. I am so blessed to have been born into such a loving caring and most important, raised in a Christian home. The value and morals you taught us, have provided a path in my life that will never end. Everyone that ever met you loved you and admired you as a man, a husband, a father, a minister, a teacher and for always putting your family before yourself. You took care of us and never failed or disappointed us. You groomed your whole life for the moment you took your first breath with Jesus Christ. He has you in his kingdom and he has his arms wrapped around mom very tightly. Mom knows you are watching over her and we are always there for her.. Don't worry about us. Our hearts are hurting deeply and oh how we miss your whistling, your singing and you standing at the door waving and blinking the lights every time we left your house. You are the most generous giving caring man, and I'm so proud to call you Daddy, Rest in peace and I can't wait to "see you later". Holding your hand when you took your last breath was so heart wrenching, but I truly did sense that after that last breath, you were not there any longer. Only the body that you borrowed for 81 years was left. Your spirit was gone to Heaven. Daddy, please watch over us and keep us safe. We are family and we will comfort each other and will never forget to thank God for letting us borrow you for 81 years and for sharing 61 years of those with my mom. She loved you so very much and I hope someday, I find a husband just like my Daddy. You are very special and every memory is imbedded in my heart forever. Ashley and Preston love you more than you will ever know, They thought their "papa" was awesome..! I love you Daddy and if you want to come and visit, my heart is always open.! I love you forever and a day! Daddy,I miss you so much it hurts bad. We will do OK.. Thanks for a lifetime of memories to get us through.
