(His Children's Poems/Words/or Thoughts)

Essie to Tommie: To my husband Tommie, God brought us together and of all the special gifts in life. However, great or small, to have you as my husband was the greatest gift of all. May the winds of love blow softly and whisper in your ear. “I love you and miss you and wish you were here.” Deep in my heart, our life is to love and cherish not forget. No more tomorrows we can share, but yesterdays are always there. I love you, Tommie, until we meet again.

LaGayette to my Dad: I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that, too. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name. All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake with which I’ll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.

Felicia to my Dad: They say there is a reason, they say time will heal; neither time or reason will change the way I feel without you Dad. Gone are the days we used to share, but in my heart you will always be there. The heart of our memory will never close; I miss you more than anyone knows. I will continue loving and missing you daily until we meet again. Love you always and forever.

Alex to my Dad: We little knew the day that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories. Your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you. You are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us by one the chain will link again.

Twanda to my Dad: A light from our household is gone, A voice we loved stilled, A place is vacant in our home, which never can be filled. God gave us a beautiful father, you were always there with a helping hand,Help us now to accept God’s plan. I miss you now, my heart is sore.Your loving smile, your gentle face. No one can take my Father’s place. I love you, Daddy, your big baby girl.

D’Andre to my Dad: To my Dad words can’t express how much you will be missed. God saw that you were getting tired, so he put his arms around you and whispered “Come with Me”. You have truly been a blessing in our lives, and molded me into the man that I am today. I am so grateful God gave me a DAD like you. I will always remember your love and support your sense of humor, wisdom and guidance, generosity and kindness. You’ve always been there for mom and us. You will forever be in our hearts.” I’m so grateful God gave me a DAD like you.”
