Sending the family my condolences and prayers in their time of mourning. You will be missed dearly. You were an awesome dad, husband and cousin. I really enjoyed the time we spent together in the earlier years when Henry and I were married.

Dad
I love you and miss you so much , I know you were so depressed and mourning for mom and wanting to be with her since she left us in July. I find comfort in knowing that you passed peacefully in your sleep and that you are now reunited with her in heaven and with God our father. Dad, Rest In Peace and you and mom please continue to watch over all of us. We love you both very much and will miss you more than you could ever imagine. I am going to miss our daily calls about all of your Uber rides and you asking me what I am cooking for dinner. Rest In Peace , you are now home with mom.
Love your loving heartbroken daughter , Candi
