I miss and love you so much. There´s not a day that goes by that I don´t think of you. I miss you coming over or me coming over your house. I miss our talks and laughter. I miss seeing you, never,ever would I thought that I would be living life without you here by my side. I could go on and on about what you mean to me and what we both have been through, but just know that my life is not the same without you. My heart is broken and I wish you had more time here with me. I hope you are well and happy and that heaven is all that you thought it would be. Continue to rest and watch over me, I love and miss you My Angel

Really going to miss you your big smile it was a pleasure meeting you singing with you preaching with you having donuts cakes pies cookies etc. at the nursing home where you was ministering and encouraging you when things didn't go right man I'm going to miss you prayers for the family The last time we minister together you were talking about how you going to die would God let you know how that was going to take place.
