Dad, we had Grandmas Services yesterday as I am sure you know, everything turned out beautiful did'nt it. I know you are all having a good time now with Grandma comming home. Terri told her that you would be able to sing to her again, when Terri visited with her a few days before she passed. Since you passed when ever we visited Grandma, she would ask for you. She would say were is Cedric?, y Cedric?, and why is'nt Cedric here? Grandma missed you just like Mom and all of us miss you. The priest that said Grandmas mass said we need to emulate Grandma, I believe that all of us kids try to emulate you too. Well Dad love very much, please say hi to everyone for me and we will see all of you one day.

Thank you, Debbie

Dad, I miss you and it hurts sometime when I can't call you on the phone to tell you about something funny the girls said or did, even Michael for that matter. The Lord continues to help us all out in our greiving process. Mom is doing well because of all the help she gets from Debbie, Grace and Cedrina and the rest of us too. The Lord has been her strength, big time. After you passed into heaven I had a dream about you, You looked so healthy and young with big shiney checks and a happy grin, I thought maybe you didn't die because you were so real and happy. But you told us you did die. I don't remember much more of the dream, but that it was so good to see you. God was so good to reveal to me that you are in His presents and you are happy and at peace. I love you Dad and will see you again when I go home to the Good Lord. What a joyous day that will be, Terri
