Happy Birthday Pawpaw
Not a day goes by I don't miss you & wish I could just hear your voice or give you an endless hug.
I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for you. Being your caretaker when you were sick one of the hardest things I've done, but was a privilege to be there for you and take care of you. It was the least I could do, but still wish I could do more.
I hope you're getting to eat lots of crawfish & enjoy football, or whatever else you wanted Heaven to be like.

I can't wait to see you again

I miss you more than words can say & can't wait to see you one day

November 19, 2013

In today's greedy world, few know what it's like to have had a father so honest, selfless, loving, and strong. He was the guiding light and pillar of strength who is unmatched by anyone I have ever met. I can't describe all I have learned and all that I will miss. He tried so hard to stay. He is finally out of pain, but I wish so much I could still hear his voice and see his face. I miss him more than I can ever say.

I will love you, dad, till the end of time. You were such a great father and husband.

Your daughter, Patricia

Words cannot say how wonderful of a father you were to me, and how I owe my life and everything I have become all to you...

Words also cannot say how much you will be loved and missed, as you captured the heart of everyone you knew...

It's true that I can no longer hug you or see your wonderful face...

But it helps to know you are with me always, and now forever at peace in God's loving embrace

Love & Miss you Always, Missy
