Daddy being a part of your family for the last seventeen years has been such an honor for me. Since the day we met you have treated me more like a daughter than my father ever did. I learned so much about family and what it means from you. The two years we spent living together I am especially grateful for. Our walks in the park, our late nite sweet treats together, and watching Black and white movies together. I made you a promise, one I will ALWAYS keep, I will take care of Michael. I am saddened knowing you will not physically be at our wedding, but I know you WILL be there in all of our hearts. The son you raised, that I love so much, always tells me he is the man he is because of his mother and you. I know that is true. You never called me your daughter in-law but always called me your daughter. I will forever miss you and I will forever love you. Rest in Peace Daddy, see you in my dreams.

Hearts are broken when we lose a loved one called to the Lord's side. It's always easier said than done but we eventually find a way to see through the tears. The Lord knows we hurt but he knows he has rescued those from what we know as life into a much better place, free from pain or suffering. We love you guys and hope you find peace and comfort believing in the Lord's plan. RIP Uncle... Kevin & Heather

Dad,
I have lost you in the physical but you will always remain in my heart. The memories will be forever in my mind. The days of us fishing and eating KFC while I was seasick sleeping below are treasures that I hold tight and will never let go.
I remember the days at the bar drinking a cold beer and just talking. We played pool and you would let me win a game here and there. As children you would take us to Rocky point or Lincoln Park or just pull up in the van and take all of us not just your kids, for some ice cream.
You given me a lifetime of wisdom that I hold deep inside. You taught me how to be a man and how to stand on my own two feet. I will carry on as to make you proud and do things the way you would want. When I feel sad and the pain becomes too strong, I think of your words to help me move on.
You have touched so many people in some sort of way. I never knew that but I can see it today. People always would say what a great man you were but I already knew that. There was no need to tell me what I already knew but I just shook my head like you used to do. I lost not just my father but my brother and friend I love you always and I will never forget.

To my Dad;
I am very happy and fortunate to have a father, a friend like you.
As a young boy in Cape Verde I grew up remembering the joy I had whenever I received your letters.
I had a change to meet you personally when I came to USA when I turned 25 years of age; it was the best moment ever.
God granted my brothers and me the chance to be by your side during difficult and suffering times.
I am thankful to God that He gave us time to share with you our love and thoughts for you as well as you showed us how genuine your love was for us.
Two days before you passed away we shared some nice conversation and it will always be a mesmerizing time for me.
You will be always engraved in our hearts.

Daddy,
Just wanted to let you know my new years resolution. We are all still going through the stages of greiving and I am no exception. I miss you here on Earth but I am beginning to accept that Heaven is a much better place for you now. I resolve to try and let go of the physical you and each day live my life applying the lessons you taught me about life and love and courage and strength and family. Your impact on my life in the years we spent together was tremendous and I will soon PROUDLY carry your name and I will Live and Love through the lessons you taught me. So on that note Happy New Year Daddy- Happy to have had the HONOR of you in my life for the time GOD blessed me with you! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS...
RIP

Dad I'm jus writing to you .. To say how much I miss you an how much my life has taken a wrong turn since you've been gone !! I know that you can see everything that goes on and I know that you prolly shaking your head like here we go again .. I dunno I jus feel lost ! I never really had no kinna guidance an honestly if didn't really look for any whether because of ignorance or just not being able to recognize when it was staring me in the face , I'm on that negative road again but I guess I won't give up because I know u wouldn't want that for me and I believe that GOD has something for me eventually cause there have definitely been some situations I should not have made it through but I did , love u DAD !!
