Dad, you taught me to work, and do for myself. Growing up you worked hard, and provided for us. Even when you retired, I helped you run your shrimping business. I will never forget all the prayer meetings we had, at the house. We always cooked for them. You allowed me to spread my wings. I will be forever grateful. I learned what it was to work, and appreciate a job. Now, it’s time for you to take your rest. You deserve this rest. Your worked hard in life, and did your best. I know your with Mom, now. Give her a hug for me. And hug everybody else too. Rest in Peace, and Fly High with the Angel’s. Until we meet again.
