Three years today and the day before your favorite holiday…. I miss you lots Daddy💔

Daddy, I can't believe you were taken away from us a year ago today.  I miss you so much and I hope you are saving a spot on the couch for me up there.  Not ready to come yet though!
Daddy's girl always,  Love Desirée

To be heard without saying a word, to be hugged when I'm feeling blue. To be understood when I'm confused, so rare was a Daddy like you. Your loving smile and raucous laugh, made all the difference in my day. Your endless wisdom and timeless advice, always helped me find my way. In you there was no equal, you were in a class all of your own. And because of all, the love you gave me I will never be alone. It's an honor to have loved you, to have shared stories and dreams. I'll always think of you smiling, no matter how tough life seems. You're still so special beyond compare, your heart so kind and true. I wish you had more time on Earth, so I could forever spend with you. REST EASY, MY SWEETEST. I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER, DADDY.....ALWAYS YOURS, YOUR "LITTLE ONE" XXXXOOOO

Dad my father in law! Will miss you dearly!! Lots of fun! a Standup kinda of guy. And not shy to speak or voice his option lol! Like my sweetie Desiree, lmao! Lots of good times down largo since Des and I been together for 15 years! The most prominent thing that comes to mind memory is dad/John getting me really drunk thanksgiving in 2012! grandma's Reid special Jamaican coffee lol!! Don,t ask haha! Moms, Des, DAD all 3 know about that night LOL!  Love you dad lots!!!

I don’t have one distinct memory but rather a collage of my life and time spent with my dad.  From childhood to the present, he was the one guy that could make me laugh, make me cry (from laughing so hard) & let me know he loved me.  The apple falls right under the tree Daddy!  I’m glad you were proud of me & I will NEVER FORGET our beach days that ended with a rum runner and burger at the Reid-isson.  I miss you so much but know you are in good company & not suffering now💔🥰

So many memories with my cousin, slot car drag racing, lifting weights, watching his meticulous work building some great cars, driving me from north Jersey to Long Branch, NJ in the middle of a northeaster, my first drag race event. John will remain in my heart forever!
