Recessional
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Psalms 23

To my dearest husband and best friend, I know that GOD knows what’s best. I am so grateful that he allowed me to have 33 years with you. I will continue to carry on your name on as long as I live!

I love you, Candace

Later, Daddy..
Love, Keosha
To my daddy, I don’t know where to begin. You’ve been in my life from the start. For 22 years, you have been the best dad to me. I never liked seeing you in pain, but I also hate to see you go! Daddy, I love you more than you know! I will always cherish you! Build us a house in heaven with you so we can be together again!

Roman
I am going to miss my daddy! I love my dad so much! I wish I had more time with you with you to tell you that I love you! I had so much fun with my daddy. He taught me half the things I know! I am going to miss you so much! I regret never coming to the hospital to see you! I feel so bad! i am going to miss you daddy!
Komora
Knowing GOD has a plan for our lives is very important. Putting our faith in GOD’s plan allows us to trust that the events in our lives are meant to be. It helps us to make chores that must be made and realize things are not really out of control, but they are under control. there is a peace that can be found knowing that his plan is playing out in our lives
Sol Grace, Jr.
To my big brother, I am truly lost for words! You were there for me in so many ways! It is going to be tough for me to get through this! I love you, and until we meet again.
