First, I would like to thank all of you who have showered me and my brother, Mike, with love and support for the passing of our father. Knowing that our dad will not have to suffer one more sleepless night, or take another round of Chemotherapy. He is "safe in his arms" and he knows no more pain. All his days are filled with joy and happiness. To Big Ma & Big Daddy...Thank you! Only GOD knows how much I truely appreciate everything that you did for my dad in his last days. You made him feel loved and comfortable when nobody else did. I am at peace knowing Michael is resting in a better place. I know in my heart he made his peace with GOD, that is why he is "safe in his arms!" Michael, nobody can take away the type of love we had for one another. It was the only type of love that a daughter can share with her daddy. Thank you for being there when I needed you. I am happy you got to see me on my wedding day. Because those are the memories I will cherish forever. I love you and I can't wait to see you, Uncle William, Granny, Pappa, Emma Jean, Peg, Monica, Uncle Vernon, Pam, Esque, Addie, Po-Boy, Eugene, Mike Wise & Joseph Miller on the other side. Rest in Peace......
