Dear Papa

If it had not been for your many Sacrifices and Love; I dare not think of the many possible Outcomes of four Black girls. You were steadfast, unbounding and determine to see Us through. I am thankful and blessed. I reminisce and speak of you often. You left us with my gems and survivor skills. There is nothing and no one like My Dad. / A gift from God

Love and Miss you Much

To my friend in heaven. God sent you to be an earthly angel to me when I needed you. We became such good friends. I absolutely admired you for so many wonderful things you did on this earth - the care you told me you gave your mother, serving in the military, raising your girls, keeping them together , always being their protector. You walked tall upon this earth my friend. Will always love you.
