Well it has been seven years since you past away. Mom is with you now, and there isn’t a day that goes by that you are not in my thoughts. I know that I didn’t tell you enough but I hope you know that you are my dad even if it’s not biological. I always considered you my one and only dad.
I miss you terribly....

Hi Dad,
It took me a while to figure out what to say in your memory book, so I am going to make it simple. You were the most caring and loving father that any child could want for. I have so much of you installed in me from your work ethics, to discipline and lastly to your kindness. I have so much love for you and I know and always knew that if anyone would make it through the gates of heaven it would be my dad. I love you.....Jamae

MY Uncle Ed... The most unbelievable character... you will be missed by all... RIP
Uncles can often be seen as a replacement father figure
To me you were more than an Uncle,
you were truly a great man in my eyes
Someone I could pour my thoughts out to
knowing you would cherish the confidence to the end.
You've made me laugh,
when I wanted to cry.
You've made me stronger,
when I felt so weak I could die.
Whenever I was upset I knew you were
there with a shoulder to cry on.
Whenever I face a problem and needed some help
I know you were one I can rely on.
You've always made me happy,
I hope now you will truly see.
You're more than just an Uncle, to me.
------------
The family is not destroyed,
but transformed.
A part of it enters the invisible.
We believe that dying leads to absence,
when it really is a hidden presence.
We believe that it creates infinite distance,
when it does away with all distance
it returns to the spirit
what was for a time found in the flesh.
Every time someone leaves home and passes away
those left behind gain a link in heaven.
Heaven
is no longer home to angels,
unknown saints and a mysterious God,
but it becomes familiar.
It is the family house,
Our families house, So until I can say,
I'm home, I'll just say goodbye....

I have many wonderful memories of my father, many of them are sense of humor, self acceptance, perseverance, unconditional love and strength. There were many of times a phone call of support got me through some tough moments in my life with words of wisdom and grace. You had a profound effect on my life of in believing in my abilities and in doing so taught me to believe. You taught me to not be deterred by lifes' setbacks cause they will always be there, for you will face others in your life and they will surely test you too. It is these principles that are the foundation of my successes today and I will carry throughout my life. I'll never forget your Navy stories or the jokes you always had for all of us. It is to you Dad I will carry forth everything our family believed in to become happy, successful and see unlimited possibilities in our futures. You are in my memories always. Sorely Missed.

Jan and Family, I will always be able to remember Uncle Everette with a huge smile on my face, cause that is what he loved... to make people smile and laugh! As a kid my family would go to his house for Thanksgiving and we could not wait for the "entertainment" to begin after dinner! Those are memories I will never forget! The disappearing leg, the finger switching hands, the "music" to go with the "tricks"! He was a special person and will be surely missed! My best to all of you.
