When things were tough at the Texaco Island, he was someone who could make things right by just sitting and talking. I am sad that he is no longer able to share his good and gentile nature but happy to know that now he is walking with the Big Fisherman himself.

Although I have seen Kenneth only a few times since we graduated, I remember him from our school years. His Army picture shows that smile that I remember well. He was a good friend...my best to the family.

Daddy, I cannot believe it has been a month since those beautiful blue eyes closed for the last time. I will miss you everyday for the rest of my life. You were and always will be my Hero. I am so grateful that God let me be there when you crossed over to the "other side". I imagine it was a "Grand Reunion" with your brother, Marshall, father, Lee, mother, May, and your beloved grandfather, and all the people you would talk about in those last five months at the nursing home.
We are doing good, the way I feel you would have wanted us to do. We have had great news about Grandsons, Kenneth "Casey", and Joshua, thanks Daddy. The mass on Saturday at Little Flower was very nice, mother, me and bonnie went. Alli was here and we all had a good visit with her, another wonderful gift.

I am so grateful that God gave You to me for a Father. I will always love you.

"Life is a Journey and Death is but a turning point in the road from which we travel on to a new land of hope and peace.
Letting go of someone dear is always hard to do, but this brings hope that time will hold a healing peace for you."

"God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying." Revelation 21:4

"The life we have here isn't all there is. There is a far, far better place that Jesus is preparing for those who love Him." John 14:2-3

"God Saw You Getting Tired"
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered, "Come To Me".

With tearful eyes, we all watched you and saw you pass away and although we love you dearly we could not make you stay.

A "Golden Heart" stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest.
God broke out hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

You and your spitit will live in my heart and soul forever, love, your daughter, Cathy

Daddy I love you so much and I miss you already. You were the best father I could have had.

I am so terribly sad that I will never see you again here on Earth but I know you are free from all the pain and heartache of this world and you are now at peace. If there is a heaven, then I know you are there with all those who've you've loved and have passed on before you. Do not worry about Momma and Cathy, we will take good care of them. I hope that I will one day see you again as life will be so lonely without hearing your stories, seeing your sweet smile and being with you. I love you Daddy.
