My dear friend, my heart every time I think of you. I miss you so very much. My love for you will last beyond the stars moon. The laughter, flirting on the first day, I met you at Delgado. The years passed the friends and children, , along the way. I thank you for the times you support to my children during P.C.S. Coming to see me at my new Duty Station. Seeing the big sexy smile every time I came back home for a visit and find my way to The Corps of Engineers to see you.. The other relationships death of our family members, new marriages and divorces we both experienced over the years .Never did I ever imagine you would die. Every time I come to New Orleans or hear a Maze Song, see a second line my soul smile of sweet memories your favorite things, missing you until we cross the universe into our permanent eternity...until then..The joy and pain will always brings HAPPY FEELING in my heart

Everlasting Peace My Brother

Daddy,

You've taught me so many things until know, but the lesson I knew all too well and regrettably hated to learn again was that “time waits for no one”…I was coming to see you that weekend but you couldn't wait any longer. My heart was and still is broken not being able to hear you say “I love you man” once again…..I miss you. I can never fill your shoes, but your steps are a legacy for me to follow.

I love you Pop.
