Happy Birthday Daddy. I hope your having a glorious birthday in the beyond. I want to bring Ka'Ràn to see you. I have so much to tell you. He's so big and smart now. I know the light we lost in you is the light we gained in him!

Hey Pap ! I wish you were here to see your two grandsons Karan and Jesse. They are getting big fast and they get along so well. I was thinking about when we first met and found out we shared the same birthday but you are a year older than me. That was wild maybe that's one reason we couldn't get along Aries are fire signs and the word fire speaks to our attitudes. Lol. I still cannot believe you are gone you were just rebuilding with your children but you will meet again.

Hi daddy, it's me again. I think about you everyday and it still hurts. I wanted you to be here to meet Baby K. I am 29+ weeks now. I'm high risk so he can come any day. I took maternity pictures just in case he came early. I really like them. I hope you can see us and watch over him as he grows. I love you.

Herman (P.J.),
We met when I was 17 years old. I never imagined that you would be as you and I used to say "My Baby". We ran into each other through the years and had conversations of sustenance. I thought it was just to make me smile. WE married over 10 years ago and shared that bond until God called you home on February 5, 2021. You were my love(r), my friend, my rock, my protector, and of course my Chef. It's been tough without you here. Your love for family was more than anyone outside our circle could understand. It's unfortunate that those you reached out to did not respond. They missed an amazing person,friend, and family man. When you got really ill this time around I saw your fight to make it through this. I was praying that you were able to return home. I will never forget you or the love we shared. I know that you and my Dad will be watching together from heaven as you two reminisce about the good times we all shared. I love you and miss you.

Pap I remember when I was pregnant with your only daughter and it was hot outside and my feet were so swollen I couldn't walk. You brought the beach to our apartment. You ran the tub full of Luke warm water, laid down this brown blanket to resemble sand and you put a fan in to resemble the wind. I remember how we laid there enjoying feeling our baby kick. That was one of the many memories that comes to mind during our marriage. Rest in peace pap and we will see each other again.
