Hey Daddy.. I didn’t even know this thing existed. Lol but you’ve been on my mind and heart so heavy lately. Probably because your baby girl is about to be a whole woman lol. Turning 30 in a couple of months! I was 10 when you passed away. Even though I have one distinct memory of you that I play over and over again. I came home for a holiday probably and we met you at the gas station for some reason. You gave me a red wallet with some money in side (thank yaaaa) haha. But you gave me the warmest hug.. the biggest kiss..and told me to never forget who you were to me. No matter the distance. And I carry that moment with me forever. I know you live with me in spirit. It’s no denying that. And with all of my siblings lol. We are so much more alike than we thought and I can only imagine that we get those best parts of ourselves from you. I’m going to pursue dancing fr. Just wanted to let you know I’m always doing it for you trying to touch every stage you couldn’t. I love you so much. I’ve cried at all of these messages. And I’ll see you soon for your birthday. I haven’t came by to see you since the funeral but after 20 years I won’t miss it for anything. Hug on all your kids and family cause we miss and love you!! Love your dancing twin. Come dance with me soon daddy. Love.

Your Wife

Wassup with you pops, I know I haven´t been doing everything you probably want me doing, but everyday I just wish you was here to help guide me through this life. You blessed me giving me your name because it will never die. You will always be a Legend in my eyes and Legends never die. I have a baby boy that will be here next month, and I just wish I had you here to teach me how to be a dad. One question I always ask myself is how will I be a better dad than you were, but in reality I don´t think that´s possible.. I couldn´t fully experience your presence but I feel you here with me every second. I know your proud of me up there, I love you, ~your favorite son Leroy Jr.

Hey my lovely hubby, i ask all the time after so many years WHY DOES IT HURT SO BAD? But there is no answer for that. But it still hurt each and everyday i think about you i don't forget none of the good times we had together. Each year when it's time for the family to get together for the holidays i don't wanna go because i look for you to walk through that door and i know that your not, but i go and just think about all the good times we had. Mama, Paw, both Berty's EB,Ernest, all the aunties,uncles, and all the cousins still here for me as if i was theirs and i will always luv them with all my heart. I will neva regret meeting dem dey are wonderful people through the good times and bad we r one!!!!! Love You Always,

If I had 1 wish today it would be to see your beautiful smile; it would be to hold you in my arms if only for a little while; it would be to share my loving thoughts on how i truely feel; it would be to take away all the pain and dry every weaping tear. But the more I think of you is the more pray, asking God to give me the strength and guide me through each and everyday. Even though we're not together and we seem so far apart, I know your soul resting because I feel it in my heart. So I finally got a chance to say just about all I have to say, but if I had 1 last wish it would be to hug and kiss you today. You'll always be in my heart and toughts and that will never change so i'm sending my love to you until we meet again!!!!!!!!
LOVE YOUR WIFE,
Melissa

Hey
Sweetheart; Just checking on you I know you are still here, but I came
to tell you your boys made it to the championship in football. I wish
you were here to tease them on the sideline, but they all know what you
would be doing if you were here Tuca already said if my daddy was here
he would be out here ribbing us. They all miss you and love you DeaDea
think she's grown but she's a good girl and they all are very smart in school.
Thank God for that, just stay in their ear whispering the good things
you've been telling them and they will continue to be alright.

We LoveYou Always& Forever Your Wife & Kids
