It has been years now and I still love my dad. I remember mostly when I was 7 and you were holding me for I was sick. You were a great dad til you let the devil take over. Edgewood church held many good memories for our family. I know god forgave you and you reside on the streets of gold with mom, granny, brian and all your brothers and family. Love you dad and always will forever and ever, Aug. o8
your oldest daughter Shelia
