Love you dad. :(

He likes most of the things i liked. We both like riding motorcycles, eating a lot, sleeping. He made a lot of jokes. He was special to me. Everyone says that me and him are twins because we look alike. I love my dad from the ground to the sky. I miss him. I loved him so much, but i couldn't see him a lot. Every time me and Tristan went to go spend the weekend with him, we did everything we could. But that all stopped in 2018. The day he died, i went to go see him a couple hours before he died because my grandfather took us to see him after church. I miss him so much.

I am so sorry for your family's loss. There are no words that can ease the pain of losing someone you loved. May you find comfort and peace in knowing that your loved one is in God's memory, because those who passed on are precious in his eyes. Psalm 147:3

Dear Family of Imarogbe J. T. Lech,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. In times likes these the hope from God's word has helped me and I would like to share it with you. John 5:28, 29 Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, and those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.

Sincerely,
Missy
