Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou annointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Tribute of Love

Dear from the day I laid eyes on you, I fell in love. You always told me how much you loved me, but more importantly you showed me. You brought so much joy to my life. Thank you for being a dedicated loving husband and father.

- Shelia

Dad words cannot express the emptiness we feel without you. You were the true definition of a father and taught us that all things are possible when you work hard for it. Unconditional love, wisdom, and generosity is what you showed us our whole lives. There are so many happy memories we cherish and we will miss you dearly. Thank you for raising us to be the strong women we are today.

- Sheena and Shantel

A father doesn’t just say he loves you, he shows you. My father’s love will always be imprinted on my heart because he gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another, he believed in me. My dad taught me the value of hard work and being responsible, not through his witty phrases, but through his actions. If I am half the man he is when my number is called, it will be all the better for my children. Thank you dad for being my father.
