Hello my beautiful little daughter will forever be etched in my soul, my dad’s greatest quality was his unfiltered personality and infectious sense of humor that I have definitely inherited.. 

The father daughter relationship that I wanted my whole life had truly just started forming, I never missed an opportunity at stating how much I loved my dad and what he meant to me. 

Though there's always that missing puzzle piece in every story. The cliff hanging, nail biting, leave you on the edge of your chair suspense, and still not make complete sense til the end.. 

Regardless of how our story fell apart, me and my brother picked back up at times like our dad was never M.I.A. 

Life is so unpredictable, and in a split second, you can lose the thing you dreamt of your whole life, though my brother missing the most from our dad, I gained all that I lost from my dad with my brother, you will forever be in our hearts dad.

 Love always your beautiful little daughter 

Tribute from James;

For heaven called upon my father, 

You will be deeply missed and never forgotten. You will always be with me, for I will always carry you in my thoughts and in my heart, you will always remain. I am going to miss our constant conversations that we used to have, our little battles. Despite all the little negative things that really did not matter in the end, the most important thing that we always had between each other was honesty. To me, that was more important and mattered the most. 

Rest easy your loving son and family 

James & daughter in law Elizabeth and grandkids Katelynn & Izzabellah
