Today it’s been 10 years since you been gone. Wow I still can’t believe it. I know you and mom are in heaven dancing and enjoying your time together. I know you two are watching over us. I love you!!

Hi Daddy, it’s me again. Today is your special day. I know it seems like I have forgotten but that’s not possible. I have just done what you would have wanted me to do and that is keep on moving and making sure these kids are taken care of. Daddy, I love and miss you but I am good knowing mom is there with you!

Daddy, today would have been your special day. I would have been calling you and maybe singing to you. I miss you so much. Rest in heaven.

It is me again, this is always the easiest way to say something to you...well not really cuz I often look at your picture and juSt find myself thinking. Thinking of what could be if you were here. You would be so surprised to see how these kiddos have grown so much. I wish you would have been able to meet MarQue and Malyssa. You would really be shaking your head with those two because you did it so often with just MaKayla. I know I can't dwell of the could have but it always crosses my mind. Today you would have been 76, wow. I know, you were called home because your job was done and it was a job well done. You are still with me. I love you dearly. I will see you one day even though we will be angels walking around heaven...we will be angels together

Gosh it never seems to get any easier. Five years have passed and we seem to go on about our lives and you aren't here to see it. I often watch movies that talk about fathers or hear someone else talk about their dad and it makes me sad that you are not here with me. I always cherished the time that we did have together and I still have the memories but, there is nothing like the real thing. Two of my little ones never got the opportunity to meet you or you them. I know if you did, you would definitely be talking junk and happy once we leave the house. I miss you so much and I continue to do all that I can for mom cuz I know that's what you would like. Though you are not here, I know that you are looking down on me, watching and probably laughing and shocking your head at some of the things you see. One day we will meet again but for now, continue to "walk around heaven" and rest easy knowing that you helped to have raise a strong black woman.

Today we celebrate the anniversary of your birth. Miss you dad.

Hi daddy, it's been a year and I know that you have been watching over us. We miss and love you

Hey daddy, it's me again. Just can't believe u are really gone. How I miss you so much everyday. It's not the same calling and you not pickin up the phone asking me what I want...I know someday we will meet again but for now you will always be in my heart. Love u!

My brother was wild and crazy in his younger days loved fast cars  and speed but he was a serious type of person i loved my Brother we could always talk I will truly miss his smile and laughter I know he is at peace with his brother talking about cars we loved you both but God loved you more RIP  my brothers  love Rose

It is with deepest sorrow and sadness that I write this tribute to you. Uncle Joseph was kind,loving, and caring. Your sudden death came as a shock to the family. But god needed you more. We will always remember you and those fast cars that you and Uncle Charles always loved. R.I.P Uncle Joseph. Love Always, Bird and Family

To The Family....My thoughts and prayers are with you as I remember the wide smile Joseph always shared as we grew up in the Magnolia community. There was always a pleasant word and friendly respect for elders. Know that your loved one will be missed by friends, but welcomed home into the Kingdom. Judy Moore Jones

Uncle Joe we love you but GOD loved you more. I will continue to hold on to the good memories that we shared. My mom and I were just talking about how you came into Grandma's house when I was a baby with a big black hat, sunglasses and a pimp in your walk, I looked and saw you and almost turned my walker over trying to get away, you scared the mess out of me :). Rest in Paradise, Belinda

Daddy,

It seems like you left us all too soon but we know it was only because God said that you had done a job well done. You ensured we always had what we needed, your love, support and advice was always pleasing. Always in our hearts, love Squirrel!!!
