Gone too soon. Dad you will be greatly missed by all.
I will definitely miss your beautiful smile and signature laughs. You are truly a man of God spreading the word of God and praying for any that comes in your presence.
I will Ecco your favourite scripture verses.

In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your path.
