Daddy, still brings tears to say your name and type this. I love and still miss you...especially at this point in my life. I often remember your strength of never complaining when you were clearly in pain, but this is hard.

It's very hard for me to compose anything to tell you, but I will say my Brother how much I love and miss you. I only wished I knew what God's plan was for you so that that would have had time to come home, put my arms around you and thank you for the many times I called because I had nobody else to talk to.
You were the only one who would listen to me, even though there were times when I would just talk about the same things you've already heard.
Wilbert I miss you so much and there are time I would take this picture out a picture I have of you standing in front of the steps of a building with your cane.
I thought to myself, this is the man that was named after my grandfather, it that had never crossed my mine.
I will end tis ranting right now the say again I miss you and will see you in time
me and my daddy

Daddy, I still can't believe you are gone. I went to call you last week and just froze when my husband grabbed my hand. My buddy, my friend, I miss your jokes, and silly comments. You are still my heart daddy. This still hurts, and I'm sorry we didn't get more time together. You taught me so much without speaking. I know we were your pride and joy and each of us and your grandkids were "my chile". Until we meet again daddy, say hello to Wilma. I miss and love you both dearly and divinely.

DADDY...I feel as though your name and picture are here by mistake ...it just can't be true... because I miss you SO VERY MUCH... and although I am eternally grateful to God for the time and honor He gave me in having you as my father and my friend...I will never feel that it was long enough... Until I see you again Daddy in Heaven... please stay with me always...in spirit. I love you. Your "favorite", VICKEY
