  1. Please accept my sincere condolences on your recent loss. May the God of peace, Jah, comfort you during this most difficult of times. Isaiah 25:8, Revelation 21:3,4

  2. I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. He always tried to act like such a tough guy but he was one of the sweetest men I have ever met. He brought so much joy to all in the office and we truly did love him. I personally will miss him very much. My prayers go out to you.

    Sincerely,

    Jeannine

  3. Daddy – I can’t put into words how much I already miss you. It will be tough without you in my life now. But I know you are in a better place now with Momma & Rhonda. Just know that Roger is taking care of me and I will take care of Tamara. Tell Momma and Rhonda I love them very much and miss them also. I love you Daddy!!

  4. Daddy-It’s been a week today since you went home and I still can’t believe you are gone. I got home from work yesterday and the first thing I did was to call you like I did everyday to say “I’m home”!!! I know I’m being jealous not having you here with us, but I know you are with Momma & Rhonda. Tell them I love you all very much!!
