Lord knows Im going to miss My Daddy, not a Day goes by without me talking to him or seeing Him. Excpect the last few days leading up to my birthday, July 3rd.And your death. We had a deep conversation that Sunday about someone being in a Nursing Home and I told you I would never let that happen to you if I could help it and you said Terry I know you would take care of me. We got super close. You told me so much the nights you spent in my home when we you didnt want to be alone. We laughed together and we cried together. But you never said Goodbye. I find myself picking up the phone to call you these last few days but I catch myself. But I know you are resting in your Mansion. I will never forget you and treasure the special moments we had together. You slipped away from me but I will keep you in my heart forever. I Love You DADDY. This was the hardest thing I've ever done. Goodnight Big Head, but not GoodBye.Lord knows Im gonna miss you like crazy.I Love You Bubba.

To Marty & the family...Although I was not in attendance, I wanted you all to know you were in my heart and prayers. I didn't spend much time around him, but I know he loved his family and enjoyed life. "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
