FEB. 6 1940 ... MARCH 18, 2012
The moment that you died, my heart was torn in two. One side filled with heartache, the other died with you. I often lie awake at night, when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheeks. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, but missing you is a heartache that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain. Life here on earth without you will never be the same. We all miss you and love you so much. Your wife, Fay; daughters, Wadina (Preston) and Leaetta; sons, Leon and Marc (Hillary); all your grandkids and great-grandkids (who you never knew), but they will definitely know you. Your sister and brothers-in-law, and many other family and friends.
