August 21, 2014
On this first sad but merry anniversary of your passing away, i am privileged once more to pen another tribute thankful to your illustrious son Batey, Batey Johnson and others. Dad, gone you are but i can feel your departure though at a very ripe age left a vacuum only the Lord's love and unity can fill within your family and friendly circles. Like Paul my Bible hero, i know you are now saying "for me to live is to make Christ known, and to die is gain" which i testify its evidence in your family lineage. Dad, as we pay this anniversary homage, may your gentle soul keep finding true peace as you rest at the Lord's bosom. It is well with the just in the Lord.
