THE BOYS TRIBUTE TO DAD:

If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes. I would let you know that I love you and THANK you for believing in ME. When you took your last breath, I felt like a piece of me left my body as well. We’ll always remember that special smile and that caring heart, especially how you lit up whenever you saw little London. If I had a single flower for every time I think about you, I could walk into my forever garden. Clearly GOD provided us with a gift that he now has taken back. No matter where I am, your spirit will be beside me. Rest in Peace. Love Greg

Dad, I thank GOD for allowing me the opportunity to care for you since 2017. In being your caregiver, I’ve learned so much about medicine and how GOD used the natural herbs for the body to heal itself. Even though this is an end of an era for the family, you were more than a father to me, you were my hero, mentor and confidant.

Again, as we continue to cherish the memories and moments, we THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts for your donations, time, support, love, and prayers. Rest in Peace. Love Marcus
