I never thought I could love someone the way that I love you.
My daddy, my superhero, my best friend. I am going to miss our
facetime calls. I’m going to miss playing with you Dada and seeing
your face. Most of all I am going to miss calling you Donald Duck.
Love Brooklyn, daddy’s little girl.
I know you are in God’s care, that is how it should be. But when
I get to heaven, he will give you back to me. It broke my heart to lose
you, but you did not go alone. A part of me went with you, the day
God called you home. I pretend to be strong, as I’m dying within
myself on the outside, I smile for you to see I’m okay. Because I know
you want me to be over it today.
Love, Pops
How well I do remember all the special times we had as we
were raised side by side sharing good times, sharing bad, sometimes
we would disagree but always made up in the end. But as we grew
to be adults, we became the best of friends. Then you heard the
voice of Jesus calling from on high. He was holding out his
loving arms but I could not say goodbye.
Your loving sis, Tarteanna
My dear grandson, I love you so much and I always will. We can talk
about anything you always said, Grams you are wise, that’s why God is
leaving you here to give us all your wisdom. I can’t believe that you left
us this early in life. You told me you was doing well after your mother
passed, but I see you wanted to protect us. You was heart broken and
needed to be with your mother and grandfather. Rest in peace always.
Love in my heart for Stephon.
Love Grams
