A Dedication to Our Beloved Father Uncle & Brother !

This is for you…for our dad, brother, and uncle that we loved dearly and the one who helped, gave and blessed us all….

This is a moment that caught us all by surprise; the occasion is painful, and yes we wonder with a whole lot of whys.

Our loved one finished his race, gave his all and was truly blessed, we loved him dearly but God loved him best.

It broke our hearts to lose you so soon, for part of us went with you on the day God selected your balloon.

We didn’t want you to leave us here so quick; we loved you through all your shenanigans and through all your tricks.

He loved playing Spades and Domino’s too, when he won, he requested 1 honey bun & 1 Mountain Dew

You were a blessing to us all and you loved us right, we’ll deeply miss your warm heart and your beautiful bright light.

You taught us to love hard and have no regrets, but now we’re hurting cause we’ve lost this unkind casino bet.

Our Heavenly Father took you home too soon and left us all with sorrows, but family one-day, in heaven, all of us will definitely see him again, on God’s tomorrow.

We believe God and we believe your spirit was always warm, We believe God still promises peace in the midst of storms.

We believe in Hope and we believe in doing good, We believe God is taking us further like He said he would.

But now we’re thankful to God for a wonderful loving soul like you, and most thankful to God for our Savior, that made our salvation dream and gift come true.

As we close this poem and take our seat, We want the whole world to know that you were one of God’s most gentle giant, that shocked us all with a humble heart that can’t be beat….

We Love you TGL…From All Your family & friends...that you helped, taught and blessed...so well

Psalm 23
King James Version (KJV)

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
