We said goodbye today to my Dad and even though he was sick for a long time he still had so much strengh and will to live. My dad was with me the day I took my first breath and I was with my dad when he took his last breath. It was through the will of God that my uncle and aunt saw Daddy Friday and that my sister, daughters and myself were with momand dad when he died. Tha
nk you God for giving us the message to be with Dad so he was surrounded by loves. I want to thank all familyand friends who have helpedus get through the last few days

I still have the best memory of Jackie hugging me and consoling me when my dad died in 1959! He was always a good person and friend. I loved him like a brother. You have my sincere sympathy. Cherish the memories.
