The time has come for me to depart, I hope you know I have a broken heart. Even though I’m gone from this earth My love for you was given a re-birth! The tears you shed are not just for me, But for the time we know that will never be. I understand that now you are lonely and sad Please do not forget the good times we had! While missing me now makes life seem incomplete I know some happy days you will definitely meet. Just remember this is not the end as though it may seem I want you to continue and stay focused on your entire dream!

We know you wanted to be here for us and never say goodbye, Please wrap your arms around us when we begin to cry. Our time together was memorable and God took you away too fast, The most precious thing to us is knowing your love will forever last!
Dad, Your passing has left an aching pain behind. One day just like you, peace I will find. The memories of your presence will not die, Believe me when I say, it hurts to say goodbye.
Your son, Orlando

Daddy, your battle is over now; no more tears flowing down your cheeks, No more pain, no more suffering, now you are no longer weak. Although you will not be here to walk us down the aisle, When that day comes, we know you will be by our sides with a smile.
Your daughters, Laurie, Lynn, and Hillary

1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails!
