Jerry,
The Lord allowed you to be my rock for so long. I love you with all my heart and will miss you each passing day.
With All My Love, Gracie Dad,
I love you and I will forever miss you. Rest in peace.
Your Son, Jr. Wade Dad,
To the man I love the most despite any ups or downs, you taught me a lot of good things. You were the only dad I knew and was always there for me. Sometimes you would remind us that life is temporary, but its hard to let go of someone you spend your life with and whom you love so much. Daddy, you will be missed.
Your Son, Amos Jerry,
You know I love you and thanks for being a father. You helped raised me from a child and I thank you for all the love and support you gave. You will be missed.

Dad,
You never turned me away. What will I do without the one who always came through? How will I live with the hurt I feel? Where will I go to find out about all the things I don’t know? You are my daddy, I am your girl, with you in my life I had the world. All the tears I will shed because your voice I’ll hear no more. I pray we’ll meet again over on the other shore. “Your old big eyed yellow heffa” will miss you dearly.
Your daughter, Brenda Daddy,
Words cannot express the love I have for you. You have always provided for me and I never wanted anything (inside joke to you). I’m going to miss your signature. Lol. My Love always and forever.
