Daddy there is not one day that goes by when I'm not thinking about and missing you like crazy!!! I had so many things to tell you that day but I guess God had other plans... I know you're always watching over myself and the rest of the family but my life has never been the same without you Daddy... I needed you then and need you now, I just have to trust God & know things are going to get better.... I'm grateful to have had you as a father and your memory will forever live on.... Love you now and forever more,
Your Al❤

I always called him my big brother. He was always there when I needed him & even when I didn't. We'd have our moments when we'd argue, but would always end them by saying "but I still love you." I'm missing him right now, but will hold on to the memories. To my family, we need to build up a fence of support around Auntie B and Aunt Hattie. God bless, love you all.
