My Best Friend, My Son You wanted me to have the best. You stated that upon retirement, you wanted me to work with you. This will be hard for me, but I will forever remember the bond we had. ~Dad
My Heart You left me so soon and the last time we talked, you were headed to work, when I offered you breakfast you said I’ve eaten already, I had deer tamales. You said, “I’ll see you later Ma” but I did not get to see you anymore. I love you and I miss you Tuggy. I will miss you coming in the house saying, “What you got to eat in this piece” ~Love Mom
Rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord… 2 Cor. 5:8
Brother, if we had to choose a word to describe you it would be a, “Lighthouse”. You’re tall like a tower, can withstand storms. You shined light in so many places and lives. You were built on a hilltop, the word of God. Your smile and personality lit up when you were present. The mantle that was carried has touched so many lives. You had a unique way of communicating. So, to continue your legacy.. When we great others we will say, “Yeaooown”. When drinking water or preferred beverage, we will follow it with, “Ta..Ta..Taaaa”. Finally, when something surprises us, we will sound off, “Jeangallamolly…
