Many of the male pillars in my life are now in heaven. My father in law became part of my life in my teenage years and always was straightforward with me, guided me, and showed me compassion. I will cherish every conversation we had while gun smoke or in the heat of the night played in the background. It was in those moments that he made me laugh and filled me with wisdom that only comes through living a full life. While those memories will stay with me it's our last conversation that has touched me the most. Thank you for loving the way you have loved. I know the celebration is ongoing in heaven... your job was well done.
So sorry for the lose of your father may god give you and your family strength

He would feed the world if he could but rest well unc I gotcha covered I will keep them fed and your baby unique has been taught how to make the famous Mac-n-cheese. Stop fussing with Helena and just watch over us until we meet again love you ❤️
