Happy birthday No middle name, actually Zina's middle name for you this year is Nico per her pronounced Nee-co.
I was talking to Chalie C. about you after church today, I was saying how even though it's been 10 years and 10 months it still feels like yesterday.
Anyway just wanted to wish you a happy 63rd birthday. Oh your birthday sake Shaundrea had a party last night some where in Long Beach, she said she danced so much her booty hurt, these young folk are funny. Again Happy Birthday Old man.

Love hugs and kisses, Momma-Barrel

Welp, it's been 313,804,000 seconds 5,230,080 minutes 87,168 hours and 3,652 days since you've been gone. I can't even express how I'm really feeling right now, I'm at a loss for words. A first, I had a dream about you this morning of all days and you know I woke up crying, but the dream was a happy one it was a combo of a lot of the things we use to do and places we use to go, and because of that I'm really, really thinking about just getting in my car and driving up the coast and just stop when I feel like it. But before I do that I'm on my way to see you to make sure you and Elvira are clean and tidy. Have to get a Chuck visit in too. See ya soon.

Loving and Missing you more than words can say.

Hey Babe, I'm speechless, 9 years really. So much has happened since you've been gone I wouldn't know where to begin to try to tell you stuff so I'll keep it short and sweet so I don't start crying. Every month on the 26th I google how many days it's been since you've been gone, today is 3,287 days.
I LOVE YOU and I MISS YOU something terrible.

Love always

Good morning baby, happy b-day you are officially 60 old man. This navagating my life without you is rough. I'm really trying to keep it together tho. So much has happened since you've been gone it's just crazy. This last year was filled with the Corona virus and i am officially teleworking only having to go to the office once a week with this schedule we would be having a whole lot of chocolate bar nights not having to worry about me being sleepy at work the next day. Any way just wanted to tell you I love you and miss you beyond words. Tell my parents and my brother I said hey. If it dosen't rain today i'm coming to visit. Until then check ya later.

Love hugs and kisses Princess

Hey Babe, sooooo today is 7 years. There are really no words I can come up with to let you know how much I miss you. I miss your COOL, your swag, your thoughtfulness, your food, your nagging, your sweeping the leaves, your taking out the trash, your cleaning the cars, your making sure everyone was taken care of just to name a few but especially the way you loved me, pure and unconditional, THANKS. There is not a day that goes by that I am not reminded of our precious time together, it's really true when you hear people say I wish I could have had one more day but then that wouldn't have been enough either. We were blessed to have what we had and for that I'm thankful and grateful. I'm going to be on my way to see you in a few so until then check ya later.

I not gonna cry today i'm celebrating all by myself gonna have a couple of shots of Pat-Ron and French Fries in honor of my wonderful husband who I know loved me unconditionally while I watch the game Golden State vs Houston.

Happy B-day Baby, I'm kinda at a loss for words it's going on 5 years. I struggle with you being gone every day. Life without you is like your home made In and Out burgers without cheese. Tears just started falling darn it. I really miss you life is a bitch sometimes. I know you're watching and i know you're proud, I've grown up.

You having fun kicking it with Chuck & Elvira?

We're going out tonight with Drea to celebrate her 37th she's getting old. LOL

Wishing you a happy fun filled birthday, Oh Zina's name for you this year is Hamilton.

I love you with all of me.
Forever your Princess

Hey No middle name, celebrating another one without you still unbelievable. Well today I'm in Hawaii with Kikaboo, were having a ball. We went on a motorized submarine scooter, it was really fun, my hair got wet. You've been gone 4 years but it still seems like yesterday. I'm not gonna get all mushy this year, I'm trying to grow up. I love you with all that I am, keep watching. Until next time.

I had set this out in my room for his birthday this year. Dino actually gave me the sweater some time last year, in the Fall I believe, and it was Uncle Bernards. I remember when she first gave it to me she said it still smelled like him and that made me so happy. Every now and then I wear it in memory of Bernard and think about all the times we spoke on Tuesday nights and him looking inside the Business Office window waving and talking to me. Sometimes I get emotional putting the chain back on the double doors at the church, I know that was his job. I make sure that when I'm there I put the chain on myself just to remind me of Uncle Bernard.

I also remember, last year the Sunday after the Run-Walk, I told him that Dannielle and I ran the whole 3k and he laughed at me and said, "I bet, y'all look like them skinny Africans that always be winnin." I couldn't help but laugh. I appreciated his friendship and how he always looked out for me.

I miss you Bernard!
love Twin! 

Remembering Bnard on His Birthday

March 3, 2014

Bnard,
Today, March 3, 2014, is your 53rd birthday.  I know you are in the best place, with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Of course, I miss you being here with me in body, yet your spirit and wonderful memories of you are forever in my heart and mind.  

Rest assured that I am supporting and watching over Dino as she continues to move forward managing her life without you.  We are trusting God and know that we will see you again; knowing this is such a comfort!

Loving you always,
Your sister
Locke.
