You know your grave is always neat and clean lol definitely going to make sure of that! You are greatly missed daddy, another Christmas today without you, it's no longer the same.

WE definitely appreciated you and that's all that matters.  Until we meet again keep singing 🎼🎸🪕🎵.... Trise

Happy 80th Birthday to the world's greatest dad!! Wow! You know we would still be celebrating 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🥳 and you would be eating it all up lol! This is definitely another hard one but I know you are really enjoying this one being in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ 💕 and because I know this I have peace.  Daddy, you will NEVER be forgotten! As long as I continue to have breath in my body, I will always honor you! I love you FOREVER! Trise aka "Tree"

Daddy 
I forgot to write you a Happy 60th anniversary yesterday but me and the kids did go by your grave, cleaned it up as always and put beautiful flowers on it. Boy! Me and the kids miss you terribly! It's not fun anymore without you so I just stay to myself and hang with the girls and the brown brothers lol. They talk about you almost daily especially whenever they see a butterfly they think it's you lol. Well I'll be turning another Year tomorrow without my daddy but God is still keeping me strong guess he's not done with me yet. I love you FOREVER daddy 💙💙💙💙💙💙. Trise

Daddy
I literally have no feeling! I truly miss talking to you!!!!!! If it were not for my kids and grandkids I wouldn't know where I would be today.  So much have happened since you have been gone that I wish we can get caught up on. Nothing at all has changed with those siblings of yours they are still messy and causing trouble! But your kids are still trying to be strong the best way we know how. Thank God you are at peace tho, Nothing is better than that! You fought longer and harder than anyone that I know. You will forever be the best dad in the world!!!! You were truly misunderstood by those other family members of yours but your real family knew the truth! 
 I love you FOREVER!!!!!!!!!💙💋🌻 Trise

2 years today daddy and your memory will forever live!!!!! We love and miss you so much 💙.  We are ok because we know that you are ok. Rest well Daddy! We will see you again. Your Family.

It's been 2 years today since you went to be with your heavenly family. Your memory, scent, and sound of your laughter has never left us. I'm sure you're enjoying yourself in the presence of our Lord and Savior but know that you are greatly missed by us here. 
Until we see each other again ....🧡

I miss you so much daddy!!! There are no words for this pain that won't go away. The only joy that I do have is the fact that you are in the presence of the Lord. How awesome is that! You deserve nothing but happiness now. I knew who you were and how you were the best dad in the world. People say what they want about you but I knew you took care of way more than you had asked for. You took the responsibility for what someone else should have done and if no one else gave you your flowers I certainly did!!!!!! I miss your smile, all your jokes and that laugh LOL! Your grandsons ask about you almost daily but they know you are way in the sky! I love you FOREVER daddy! Rest well soldier! Trise

This is the day that I have dreaded all of my life but on this day one year ago today it came! Daddy we miss you so very much!!!!!! Life is no longer even the same but for you we keep going! Why? Because that is what our amazing dad taught us to do! We will see you again our ANGEL 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 and we love and miss you dearly! Love  always  Daddy. YOUR biggest fans! Your family 

All I can say was my dad was a toss between Fred Sanford & James Evans from good times lol HILARIOUS! He was definitely misunderstood and his immediate family knew that. He had a heart of gold and did I mention he was hilarious lol. Rest easy daddy! Forever my ROCK💙.  This will be the first Father’s Day without you physically here but we know you are and will always be with us in spirit. Happy Heavenly Father’s Day daddy. I love you forever!

 A father’s wisdom is a voice that lives in our hearts forever. Even though he’s gone, take comfort in all of the gifts that he gave you, and know that he’s still looking down on you. My condolences to you and your family.  

This is so overwhelming!! Daddy I love you so much and will always always hold my head high! You loved your family and you made sure we were always good. Thank you for loving me and know that you will forever be in my ❤️ I love you daddy until we meet again. Rest.
Your baby girl
