I will miss you so much dad, you were not my blood father, but you were a greater father to me than my birth father. I never got to see you much since the pandemic, I never got to see you at your funeral, I never even got to say goodbye. I will always remember what you said, what you did for me, the gifts and presents of $2 bills with the hand written messages on it. I will miss you, Molly, Gina, and the birds. I will miss sitting there watching the investigative tv shows we used to watch together. But even more so, I will miss hearing your voice, your hug, your smile, jokes, and unconditional love that made me once smile so long ago. ~Ciri (Shampoo)

February 4th, 2021 has been the worst day ever in the history of my life....

I can’t believe I’m standing here, saying my goodbyes, to a Dad that meant the world to me with greenish-blueish eyes.
Anyone that loved him, will know how I
feel today, my Dad was the sunshine of my life, who could brighten up the darkest days.
So goodbye Dad, my only Dad, take your wings & fly, to external happiness, & your reward, through the big gates in the sky.

Well dad today makes the longest 3 weeks since you left us here on Earth, & unfortunately so much has changed already. You taught me everything there was to know EXCEPT how to go on with my life without you.

I don’t know how I will get through this pain & heartache, All I know is the only thing that gives me a small
Push is remembering the word, & that GOD promised us eternal life
& that we would all be reunited again one day! I miss you sooooo much already Dad, & even though I told you often & never left your side, I hope you knew how dear to my heart you were & that I loved you more than anything!

He worked alongside my Father at the Sheriffs Department.
My prayers go out to his family.
