for my friend billy brown. You are missed!

I just stumbled across this memorial for you dad. I don't know why or how but it just popped up while I was searching for family tree information. I wish things would have been different while you were still alive and I could say how much I miss you now but I've missed you my whole life so nothing has changed there. I never had the chance to get to know you, my own father, it still saddens me immensely to have been shut out of your life all of my life and now you're gone. But I pray that you know that I've always loved you. I'm still that little girl waiting for her daddy to show up one day and tell me how much he's missed me and loved me but that day never came to fruition. As I held you during your last few moments I realized forgiveness was my only redemption I just wish I could have realized that sooner. I love you daddy always have always will. Rest in peace where ever you are. I know your ashes were scattered somewhere in the Smokey mountains but just as things have always been, I wasn't included in that either. Forever left out and forgotten, even after your death that hasn't changed. Signed - the forgotten daughter Candy

I can't believe it's been a year since you left. I love you and I miss you everyday. I know you are watching over me and always will. I love you honey!!!!

We have been together for 25 years through good times and bad, I feel so empty without you.

Dad! You were such graceful and descent man. you will always be in my thoughts. Your absence still make us feel you are around us. Love you always Captain Billy Brown...

A million times I'll need you
A million times I'll cry
If Love alone could have saved you
You never would have died
