Hi Daddy. Just a few more days and it will be your birthday. Today, Larry and I shared the passing of Patricia Outlaw, your great-nieces' mother (Michael's babies mama). I missed you as the Services were held. Somehow, I thought you would have loved to share time with them, as their great-uncle. FAMILY! Family is very important. I pray that You, Uncle Jacob, Aunt Dina and Michael are ALL hugging and so happy to see one another. I would like to hug each of you. Tell you all my stories. I miss talking to you, Daddy. I LOVE YOU! Today, there are things on my mind. Talking to you would help me straighten out this mess. TELL EVERYONE, I LOVE THEM! I will send a message on the 6th (Your birthday)

Hi Daddy. I was admiring the way you did the things you did. It must have been a great thing, because so many people were doing it and still are. I just wanted to say thank you for helping me have life. That must have been a great decision for you and Mother. I appreciate the happiness you gave your family and now I´m able to do the same. It´s been almost 10yrs since you left this earth. We have loss Linda and Phillip and so many others. Love you always

Hi Daddy. I'm missing you and remembering all of our times, we shared. Talking to you about anything was all I needed to survive in this crazy world, we live in. I am glad you at peace, resting in God's world. I still miss you! We are ALL trying to hang on, but it's hard. GOD GIVES US PEACE AND REST, WHEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! You had done enough! I miss you and I love you! One day, I will give you a big hug and kiss, Daddy! It will be great. GOD IS GOOD! I KNOW YOU ARE IN GOOD HANDS WITH OUR LORD! REST IN PEACE, DADDY!

Well another year has passed, I´m still missing you. Gloria sent a picture of you on text messages. I´m still holding on and preaching and praying. All your children are getting older. Phillip left the earth a couple of months ago, it seems like months. Most everyone is doing good. Well like I said I miss my Daddy.

Time keeps moving. We just keep going on, but I for one, miss you terribly. You know, when I was young, I thought "what a mean man?". When I grew up, I wouldn't have wanted you NO OTHER WAY! You raised us to be strong, descent and well-behaved adults. We know right-from wrong. And we live life like we have some sense. I LOVE YOU, DADDY! THANK YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF US! Not a lot of young men, would take that responsibility. BUT, YOU DID! WE LOVE YOU, DADDY! YOU ALWAYS HAD OUR RESPECT! I know You had mine. REST IN PEACE! ALL MY LOVE!

Hi Daddy. What a wonderful surprise, when I say this webpage. I can't explain how much I miss you. We talk about you all the time. You were a great Father! Nobody is perfect, but You raised us and you feed us and You were ALWAYS there. Even when we were grown and "old." You are our Hero! I Love You, Still! I will see you when I get to Heaven! I pray every day, God allows me into His Kingdom. We shall meet again. I miss you, Daddy, but I know you are happy and good on the Kingdom Of God! Rest In Peace! I Love You!!

Happy Valentine's Day, Daddy! I had a great day. Just being here and being able to do the daily things is a blessing. I know God has a purpose for me. Sometimes, I want to make my own decisions about my life, but God has a laugh, then directs me the way He wants me to go. I cry, fuss, argue, get mad at my circumstances, but when it's all over- God sends me to do just what He wants me to do. Smile! I don't mean to fuss. I just feel over-whelmed, sometimes. I am so glad you were here, when I found out about my cancer. I LOVE YOU and I MISS YOU, Daddy! Rest In Peace!

Hey daddy, sitting here at work thinking about all of you and miss you all as well. Time is sure flying, we are going on 2 years without you. I am guessing I will be buying a book about you pretty soon, with all these messages on it. Love you and I will talk to you later.

Hey daddy, I have been back to work for 2 weeks now, after being gone for almost 2 months. I get kind of tired but I just keep right on pushing. Everything down here is going okay. Just missing you. Well tell everyone that I said hello.

Hi my sweet and wonderful dad, missing you like crazy, but as I know I have to push on. You and mom wouldn't want it any other way. I know that I don't have to say much because you are looking down on us and you know all. I do get down a litlle because you and mom aren't with me and I need both of you. I love and miss you.

Hello daddy, I know it has been a while since I last left you a message, but believe this I haven't forgotten you one bit. Been a little under the weather, but I still have to do what I have to do. i have just read Terri's messages to you and I feel bad, because I can't do more, I would love to help out with my sisters. But working in the day time is the time that is most needed. But I will be retiring around the 1st of December and I will be able to do more for others. I miss you and mom and wish I could visit you two for a while. I wonder if God ever allows that, I wish he did. Well I love you and i will get back with you later. This is my first day back at work from 11/28/2016. Tammy

Hi Daddy. I miss you! Miss Ida was in the hospital for about 3 days, for fluid on her right lung. She is going home, today. Linda went for wheelchair evaluation, today. Tammy was our driver. I am grateful. Sure do miss you and everybody. Love you! I am doing fine. Better than I deserve. Thank You, Lord! RIP! Next time

Terri Brown

January 12, 2017

Good morning, Daddy. I had another surgery on my girls about a week ago. I am fine. God just keeps on blessing me. I made appointments for Linda. Trying to get her together. Phyllis drove Linda and I to the doctor. That was very nice. I can't drive just yet. Hopefully, soon. I am glad our sisters are helping out. People are so busy with their own lives, they don't have time for anybody else. I don't have that luxery, I have to do for my family, if I can squeese the time. God just looks after me, even when I want to whine and complain. So, I just shut-up and do it. It is alright! Always alright! God forgives me, sets my mind on what I know is right and takes care of me. Thank You, Lord! Daddy, I miss you and all my family. I LOVE YOU, DADDY!! MY LOVE TO ALL!

Terri Brown

December 24, 2016

Hello Daddy. Merry Christmas, to you and the whole heavenly body! God keeps blessing us! Christmas shows us this, each year and every day throughout the year. I really miss you, Daddy! I spoke to Miss Ida a few days, ago. Took her a Christmas present, left it with Annette. Miss Ida was at bingo. She is OK. Your kids are hanging in there. I am so thankful, that we are all here right now. BLESSINGS!! KEEP YOUR ANGEL WINGS AROUND US! GOD HAS ALL OF US!! My imagination has me thinking Angels can visit and look after loved ones. Might be wrong, but God can make anything possible. All my love to everybody! Rest In Peace, Daddy! GOD BLESS ALL OF US, THOSE THAT ARE ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN! AMEN!

December 18, 2016

Hi Daddy. I am just fine, but missing you and my family. You were my sounding board. I don't have anybody to talk to, about anything that's important to me. People say that you can talk to me, but-- that's NOT true! You are truly missed, by me. I know you have peace in the valley. God is sooo good to me! That's real! Keep your wings around Linda, Marilyn and Gloria Jean. Those girls don't feel well! Tammy is moving about, but she looks like she is having a hard time walking. We need BLESSINGS spread all thru the family. We are falling apart, getting old! Smile! All my love to you and everybody in God's presence! RIP!

Terri Brown

December 12, 2016

Daddy, I need your ears, today. I have so much to tell you, I really couldn't fit all on this page. I miss you and I love you. Sometimes, I wonder how your children who was brought up in the same house, could be so different in their way of thinking. We are ALL different, but taught the same things. Our values/ morales, should be similar. Huh? Please, stay close to each of us. If, this is something God allows. I know we need God's Blessings. I just believe in Angels. You would be an Angel. Smile! I miss you! Rest In Peace, Daddy!

Hi Daddy. I know ALL IS WELL, with you in Heaven! Kiss Emily Alberta for me, and tell her "Happy Birthday"! Tomorrow is her birthday. God knows I miss all of ya'll! Daddy, Linda isn't feeling well. Tammy is off from work, with bad knees. Not sure about the rest of family. I'm trying, but I can't seem to get with everybody. I need God's angels to protect our family. Yes, I believe in God and I know God is still in control. I miss talking with you. I do get lonely for my parents. BUT, you earned your place in heaven! My time will come. I LOVE ALL OF YOU, FAMILY & FRIENDS! Rest In Peace! Watch me, Daddy! Peace! GOD BLESS!

Hey daddy, thanksgiving wasn't like it used to be when mom was here, the family is still just like it was when you was here, nothing has changed. I saw Roni over the weekend, she was doing okay. We all got things that we are going through. We just don't check on each other as much as we should, including me. All of your kids are still here, but there is going to come a day that God is going to come and start taking us one by one. So until that day I will just keep praying for each one of us. Love you dad and until we meet again, love you

Hello Daddy. I am a little tired and probably sleepy, too. Today, I was home for the most part. Just went to the store. My leg is aching a little, and I don't know what happened. I'm getting old, maybe it's "arthur!". Smile! Thanksgiving Day is near, and yes, I am fixing a little dinner. Tammy invited Larry and I to dinner, but I already had my turkey sent to be fried, along with dressing. Not fixing much, but I am tired and hopefully, I can lay around on that day. We'll see! Christmas time I will try to get EVERYBODY, here. God willing! Daddy, I miss you! Please, keep us in your view, and Angel wings around us! ALL MY LOVE TO YOU AND OUR LOVE ONES, WITH YOU!! Until the next time, Peace!

Hey daddy, well you know that Linda still isn't feeling good, could you please ask God to watch over her and to take care of her, she is needed very much down here with us. I know that we don't get to see each other like we want too, but we still love each other very much. Thanks Dad

Hello daddy, it is getting to be Thanksgiving and everyone is doing their on thing this year. I miss you and wish you was here with us, but I know that couldn't be.

Hi Daddy. I have been running like I'm crazy. Linda is feeling bad; Horatio (Angel's husband) is feeling bad; Niecy ( Miss Ida's daughter) is feeling bad; and your wife (Miss Ida) is feeling bad. God Bless Every One Of Them! I am OK! Just trying to do the right thing. Miss you so much! Talked to Auntie, tonight. She was good! I know you are BLESSED! I Love You, Daddy! Rest In Peace!

Hey daddy, it seems to be a long time since I was on here talking to you, but you best believe that I haven't forgotten you, I still miss you so much, sometimes I just can't believe that you are gone. I often ride pass your bus stop and when I see someone standing there I think daddy. I love you, thanks so much for being my daddy.

Love your daughter Tammy

October 25, 2016

Hey dad, it looks like me and Terri send so many messages to you, but I know you are cool with that. Everyone doesn't get on the computer. I road pass your house yesterday and said Hi daddy. I wish I could go up there and just sit and wait on you to come out, but I knew you was with me when I passed. Do I miss you, heck yes. Can anyone tell me how long to miss you heck no. When I use to get upset with mom being gone, people use to say she is in a better place, which I knew she was, but there wasn't a date or time to tell me not to miss her. Just like you, no one can say how long this will last. I might not be able to send you a message after next May, but I will still be writing to you in my heart. Love You dad.

Terri Brown

October 23, 2016

Hi Daddy. I just wanted to say "I miss you." I smile when I see your picture. I am ok. But, I get lonely. We had some good laughs and if there was something going on in my life, I would tell you about it. Because I wanted you to know. You were always there for us. All of us! If, they wanted you to be. I had a dream about Mama, Emma and You at a birthday party. I don't remember whose party, but everybody was having a grand old time. Strange, huh? Anyways, maybe that's Heaven! Stay close to us. We need angels! Talk to you soon, Daddy. Much Love!

October 18, 2016

What's up dad, missing you like crazy, but you already know that. Terri came by to see me, it is always a surprise and pleasure when she comes. I would love for all your girls to get together and have a cook-in or something, but all of us think that we are too busy, but when one of our time comes, we all will wish that we shared more time with each other, and yes I am talking about myself as well. Time is something that we just don't have for real. at a drop of a dime one of us can be with you. Which isn't a bad thing. Well love you daddy, bye for now.

October 16, 2016

Daddy, hello. I went to visit Miss Ida, yesterday. She seems to be hanging in there. Thank God! I don't see her as often as I should. But, her girls are around. Annette lives in the same building. Everybody else seems to be holding on as well. I have been going to church. It's hard, not church. But, you not sitting there with me. I love you! I miss you, all the time. You are my best friend! I could tell you, anything and everything. Not everyone has a Daddy like you. I have an empty space. See you in Heaven, Dad! Rest In Peace

Hello Daddy. I am sitting at the hospital, with your grand-daughter, Angel and her in-laws, waiting for Angel's husband to get out of surgery. It can be a scarey thing, major surgery and waiting on results. Daddy, I keep thinking of all the stuff we go thru in our lives and we really need God! Thank God for His mercy! I love you and miss you, every day! I am doing my best. Daddy, I try really hard. Rest In Peace!

October 7, 2016

Hey daddy, went pass your bus stop the other day while going down Dumesnil and I thought I saw you standing on the bus stop, it was crazy. I really guess I was missing you so much. When I am at work and get on the elevator and it close and open back up, I usually said hi dad or mom, I know that it is one of you all with me. Today is one of those crazy days, wishing I was with you all, but knowing it want be possible until my time comes. I guess God is saying I got a little more time to watch over those kids. Love you

Terri Brown

October 6, 2016

Hey Daddy. Missing you at this moment. Passed by your house, several times today. Nobody has moved in this house, since you've been gone. Don't know why! But, I always want to stop.

Hey daddy, life down here is, well all I can all is I guess it is what it is supposed to be. My life is so different without you all down here.

I will be OK! That's 100. I am not slow or stupid, Mama told me to "pick your battles"! I know God will handle my battles. He always do! Keep watching over us. You are missed! I love you!

Hello Daddy. As of today, Tuesday, I have been to 5 wakes/funerals (since Friday). Today, your great-great nephew. God is doing His thing. You always told us, we are not here to stay.

RIP, DADDY!!

Good morning my daddy, the weekend was a good weekend. DeShaun's football team didn't win, but they really did a great job. I love watching them play ball.

Daddy what can I say this morning, but I miss you, every time I say that I just want to cry. Who would have thought you wouldn't be here with us, I thought you was going to live forever and that is real talk. You was such a strong man, loving, caring but hard man lol. I try my best to live a good life so that I can make it with you and mom and everyone else. Save a place for me please. Thanks daddy and love you. Tammy

Hey daddy, missing you and mom. As scared as I am at heights, if there was some steps leading to you, I would climb each one of them to see you and mom, I would. I wouldn't want anymore around me, don't touch me, don't say a thing to me, I would be to scared, but if I was alone, I think I could make that climb. Missy you like crazy. God is so good, he lets me get through each day by thinking and missing you, he hasn't let me cry yet, and I am thinking because you said Big Girls don't Cry. Love You Daddy. Tammy

Good morning my dad, I am little tired this morning, feels like I am catching a cold. I took some medicine last night, but I need a good day to sleep, maybe on Monday when we are off I will do that. How is it going with you, I bet you are really enjoying retirement now, lol. Hopefully November of next year I will be retired from here, that is if God hasn't called me home yet. I hope that I was stay around a little longer to keep these kids out of someone else home. I know that God will give me the strength that is needed. Love you

Hey Daddy. Miss you so much. Talked to Miss Ida on Friday, last week. She was good. Your kids are OK. Phyllis, just had surgery on yesterday and today she is home. God is so AWESOME! Personally, I miss talking to my daddy, my boyfriend, my best friend. You could always make it better. You made me strong and comfortable within myself. I love you, daddy!

Hey dad, it has been a while since I wrote you, but guess what, that doesn't mean that I have forgotten about you, not in this life time. Just wanted you to know that I am doing the same. Just doing it day by day now. I don't rush tomorrow. I am missing you and mom still, I know when my time come I will be up there sitting and laughing with you all. Daddy do you miss me? Do you ever think about me? Do you ever wonder what is going on with me? How my life is? You know when mom, Ms. Mattie and you left, things really went down hill for you all kids. But God can change it, if he wants. Love and Miss you.

Hi daddy, it is going okay with me and the kids. I talked to Terri a few days ago and Roni as well. Everything is everything. I miss you and so I guess everything isn't everything right? Sometimes I get sad when I think of you and mom, not that you are both in a better place and you all deserve it, but I just miss seeing and talking to the both of you. I use to walk everyday over to one of your houses to sit and talk for a while than walk back home. Sometimes after leaving your house I would walk on over to mom's and sit a few minutes. Love you

Hey Daddy! So far, we are all doing fine. Phillip is happy, getting a house to live in. Talking to "Man" on yesterday, made me happy. He was preaching the Word of God! Yes, my brother does know our Lord! I was so proud of his conversation. I am trying to slow up on running around. I'm getting old and worn-out! Smile! Miss you so much!

Good morning my old sweet wonderful man daddy, dad, father, friend, of mines. I miss talking to you about mom for hours at a time. I am so glad that you was always there to listen to me when I talked about her, I missed her so much, but being with you ease most of the pain from her being gone from me, but now I am missing you and I just don't have anyone to take ease that pain away. You know when I came over I was always at home. At times I shed a tear like right now, so I have to wipe it away and keep on going. Love you dad

Daddy, I Love You and I Miss You! I agree with Tammy, we as a family, need to come together, more. I know we love one another, but we don't show it, as we should. Daddy, you and all the family, up there, please keep your heavenly wings around us. Guide and protect us from outside uglyness and drama. We always need you. RIP Forever!

Hey daddy, you know sometimes you have to watch your family more than you have to watch others out here and that is a sad thing. I am really glad that the family is getting together, they should do that more often, not just for birthdays, wedding or funerals. But anyways, tell mom I said I love and miss her and I can't wait to see all of you all. Sometimes I can feel you with me, so I know that you are trying to tell me something, so you best believe that I do be careful. Love you

Hey Daddy. Today, is Gloria Jean's birthday. What a nice gathering we had for her birthday celebration. Felt like family! Me for one, needed to see and feel that. Today was a good day. Still, I would be coming over your house, telling you all about the luncheon. My way of saying, I miss you! Daddy, my love to ALL! RIP!

Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, school is back in session. One kid is in Middle School the other one is in Elementary, I am guessing I will get through this. Helping with homework and stuff isn't my cup of tea. Love and miss you.

Hey dad, how is it going with you? Every time I think my knees and hand is getting better, they start hurting bad again, but I won't complain because I know there is a lot of more people that is going through something way worse then me. I thank God each and everyday for allowing me to wake up and take care of these kids, even though I know it is a hard job, somebody has to do it, and it might as well be me. Well I guess I will talk to you later, love you your next to last daughter Tammy
