Pop it’s been 10 years.
It’s not a day that don’t go by where I hurt from the pain of missing you. I wish I could turn back the hands of time where we can make plenty more memories. I never thought 5 months later after the happiest day of both our lives you would be gone. I miss you so much. . Continue to rest Pop until we meet again in heaven. I love you ❤️❤️

Another day has passed without you and it hurts like crazy. I know you are not here physically but you are here within me in my heart. I miss you so much Pop and now Momma and Larry Lee is there with you and it hurts even more. Everyone is doing fine and still reminiscing on when you all was here on earth. The memories means everything to me. Continue to rest in peace and watching over your baby girl and the rest of the family.
I love you Pops!! Happy Birthday ️

Mr Vice
You are missed by so many others especially me. I have fond memories of you like your daughter Estella. Sometimes, I would be at her house on sundays when you arrived from church. You were a sharp dresser and had a lot of swag!!! Estella got a lot of your personalities such as a big kind heart and show love for people. I visit your grave often her. I even located my great-grand father's grave ( Green Lee Bailey) which is in close proximity as you in same cemetery. I remember your relationship with my dad RIP daddy Thomas (BuddyBoy Taylor) and oh how I miss him. Rest on Mr Vice I love you.

I have had a busy day today but after settling down I realized it has been 7 years since you left me. It’s not a day go by that I don’t think about you and wish you was here. I miss you so much and it is so hard to let go. I miss our rides together visiting your siblings with the best conversations to and from our destinations. Your babygirl will always keep you and our memories close to her heart. Rest In Peace Pops. I love you ❤️

Dad it’s not a day go by that I don’t miss you. Today is Father’s Day and I know you are not here physically but will always be here with me spiritually. I look back at all the memories that we shared and sometimes question God like why take my Dad?? I can’t let go . It’s really hard to accept the fact and believe that you are gone. We will meet again but until then Happy Heavenly Father’s Day. I love You ❤️

Stella we shared a special man together that was our dad. He came into my life when i was 8 years old and what a blessing he was to me even though he wasn't my birth father he became my dad and im so grateful for him. If you knew him he had the biggest heart and smile his smile would brighten up a room. Rest own daddy you left a lot of love ones behind and we miss and love you forever. You and Lucy are watching over us.

Me becoming a member of a church.

December 1, 2016

My Dad would visit me every or every other Sunday after he attended church which was Brown Hill Baptist Church in Cary Ga. He would sit for hours talking about church and I need to be a member of a church. I would listen to everything he had to say and knew what he was saying was the truth. I got married in June of 2013 and my Dad had a severe stroke in September 2013 and did not recover. He was very proud of me, his only daughter getting married and he having the pleasure to walk me down the aisle. After he became ill it was still in my mind the talks we had about church. I watched my Dad for many days as he lie there not being to help himself but I know one thing he was comfortable because he had the Lord on his side. I did exactly what he asked me to do before he passed away and that was finding me a church home. When I went to visit him I would talk to him even tho he couldn't respond back, I let him knew I had became a member of a church in Dudley (The Church At Dudley) and was waiting on the date to be baptized. He would just smile. It made me so happy to see him smile because I knew I had made him proud of me once again. Pop i'm doing great things at church and I feel like it's all because of you. I want to thank you. Love & kisses until we meet again.
