Leave a tributeHugs and kisses to you, Granny, Kenneth and Danny.
You and Granny saw the best in me when I felt it was the bottom you always stuck your hand out and grabbed mine. There are no words to express my love for you. I will miss you SO MUCH. Your legacy will live on through everyone that both of you have touched. I can only hope to be as great as you.I love you from the bottom of my heart. Till we meet again!
How's those streets of gold? Are you and Martha up there laughing at us , we're hurting and ya'll just got to move in with the MAN that owns everything! everywhere!! I bet the Cowboys are in the Super Bowl every year up there!! Martha won't have to get upset and cry and cuss them anymore.
Sonny I think that you are the best man I ever met.
Ilove You Give Mama & Bonnie, Daddy a hug
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.

Although I have only known you a short time but I am proud to have met you.

Papa
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
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
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.
