Dear Sonny,
Dad (your 1st Cousin, Jimmy Risher), sadly relayed the news of your passing to me by phone. Even though we didn't know one another very well, I feel I knew you through Granny's (Aunt Virgie) stories all these years.

Look forward to meeting you up in heaven when I get there. Praying for the family . . .

Words cannot describe the grief we feel...but we know that you are up there with Granny sitting on the 50 yard line.
We will miss coming and watching football & NASCAR, or just coming and sitting with you.
We love you.
We are sad, but happy that you are no longer in pain and you are with Granny again.
We love you always.

Papa

September 23, 2010

 The love we have for you
 will never fade away.
 We'll think of you, our special friend
 throughout each passing day.
 We'll walk into the room
 and see your empty chair;
 Although we know you are resting,
 We'll feel your presence there.
 The memories of your laughter,
 your warm and loving smile,
 your eyes so full of happiness,
 your heart that of a child.
 Memories are forever.....Love you Daddy
 

Good bye Daddy

September 13, 2010


Daddy I didn't want you to see me cry
the first time I saw fear in your eyes
All my life you've always been strong
and I didn't realize for so long
that your strong cold look was there for me
and without it, we would not be "we"

I think of how hard it was for you
to never let your fear show thru
so unsure of what life would bring
but you always knew one special thing
when all is lost we were never alone
cause where there's love we had a home

Daddy, your love was always enough
we had arms to hold us when times got tough
you taught me that riches they come and go
but love is forever and I'm not letting go

but I can't forget that cold Sept. night
the way you held my hand so tight
your eyes told me, I need you to be strong
because I'm scared and all my strength is gone
oh how I wanted to take your pain
so I could see my daddy again

that is when I saw the light
that the pain you suffered on that night
was all the pain you wished from us
you held it so long it became to much
I just want you to know, I know
you've made me strong and helped me grow

you gave me wings, to fly again
and when I fell you took the pain
I know that god is proud of you
cause you did just what he sent you to do
but you did it in your own beautiful way
and heavens smiling down today

I will miss you always.

My Hero

September 12, 2010

Since I was a young man,
In all that I've been through;
You've always been my hero,
No one stood as tall as you.

You were the one who took the time,
To teach what I needed to learn;
The lessons in life you shared with me,
You shared with love and concern.

I loved you as a young man,
And now that I am grown;
I share those lessons you taught me;
With children of my own.

Generation to generation,
I'll pass on your legacy;
I'll tell of my loving Father,
And all that you meat to me.
