Todd E. Prater

It has been a little over 10 years and the void is the same. Little does anyone know I often read these messages to help with coping the loss of my father. In this 10 year span life has changed drastically, some of the people who left words of encouragement are no longer with us, my sister Talisha and I have both birthed beautiful children, Talisha got married, my Uncle Muff (Shawn) became a grand-father to a handsome baby boy. My cousin Marcus is back home with us doing great. Life has...

Wow it has taken me almost a month to settle into to this. After all the arrangements were made, after all the people had left. We are still left in a daze. Head filled with memories of the past. Whether they were good, bad or ugly, you were an important part of our life. We loved you for who you were and we will miss you for what we have lost.

As painful tears ran down my face
I remember how we met the time & place
How my heart stopped when I caught your eye
The...

Shawn & Scott,
I am truly sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers. May GOD bless you and give you and give you strength.

I take great pride in knowing that you’ll forever live in me
It’s such a blessed honor to enrich your legacy
And although my heart is wounded through your absence physically
I’ve convinced myself, I’ll manage
Through our cherished memories
Patiently waiting for the moment to express my loyalty
To show the world how great a man you really were to me
Because no words can express it, I’ll let my actions speak
I’m your daughter so there’s no question...

To All

Okay so I finally have the strength to write on here. Daddy I am so... greatful that God has chosen you to be my father. I am hurtng physically & emotionally just from knowing that your not here on earth with us anymore. Its crazy cause YOU were the last person I seen before I left to come back to Texas, before I went in the house I told you I love you && "see you when I come back". Oh I seen you alright, but it wasnt suppose to be like this. I just thought of our future just me being able to...

Squeaky, Scott, Shawn(Muff), Talisha, and my baby DeAmber hold on and be strong. I would like to let everyone know that the Prater family is a strong, loving, and blessed family. Thank you Mr. Prater for nurturing Todd into the man that blessed many. Thank you to the brothers who loved on "Todd's Girls" (Talisha and Amber) unconditionally. Most of all Todd thank you for blessing me with a part of you that I will cherish for an eternity. I don't know why this happen to such a wonderful person,...
