My precious Daddy. Daddy you are so missed you were / are the most Humble, Loving, Compassionate, Non-Judgmental person I have ever met. I thank God for you and that you're my father . When they say you never know when you're entertaining an Angel that's you . I believe you're an Angel and I thank God for you . You are 1 IN A MILLION. I know the Angels in Heaven are so glad to see you. Daddy I miss you so much Thank you for the Knowledge, Wisdom,  Humble Nature and Love for God, Myself and Others that you taught me. A room lights up when you enter. I have NEVER heard anyone say a harsh word about you. Everything said by others and myself was in Love and Admiration in reference to you. I can only Pray to have a blemish free live such as yourself. God has been in everything you have done your entire life. What an example of God and Love your life has been. Yes, I am at a loss and miss you. However, when I look back at the positive impact and the lives you touched my Heart is filled with joy. Rest in Peace. I Love You , Your Daughter and First Born, Your Rose"Bud"
