Pa..... Your tone, your wisdom, your words have been with me since I first spoke to you, and your love for your wife, (Ma)... the children that you were Dad to, all the friends and family you encountered, were stable and constant from the years I too became your child... not by blood, but by heart and love. I will never ever forget the smile on your face when you wanted to make me mad, on purpose 😅, nor the true concern when we had our conversations. I've loved you and Ma from day one, that love has been imbedded since. You will forever be in my heart!! And so the many many loved ones, family , friends, children and wife, Ma... my heart, prayers, love are with everyone of you! This is only temporary, I'm reminded so much daily, but God said we have a home with Him! And I look forward to seeing Pa's sneaky little jokingly smile when I too, arrive in God's presence.. Yomia, Bev, Frank, Sylvia, and James, Please know that Wesley Barham loved you each and every one and so do I. Praying always. 👆🏾

Sending prayers for the family. Travis and Martha Malloy
