You were the best Dad anyone could have asked for. You chose to stay in my life and raise me and take care of me as your own even though you didn’t have to. You showed me what hard work and dedication means. You lifted me up in my darkest of times and encouraged me in ways I didn’t know were possible. You supported any decision I ever made. You made sure to always let me know you were proud of me and for that I am eternally grateful. I miss you more than you could ever imagine. I cant believe you are gone. A piece of me has died and I don’t know how I’m going to get through this. Please watch over us and protect us. The kids will always remember the times they had with you and will never forget you. I will make sure of that. I love you and will always speak highly of you to any and all that did and did not know you. Rest In heaven and say hello to everyone up there for me.
The best father in law a woman could ever ask for. Our hearts are left with a emptiness but full of so many fond, loving, fun and caring memories. You were a man of God and always tried so hard to keep us all well taken care of and together. We never expected this as you were such a strong man. We thank you for all you have given and done for us. Our children, your grandchildren will forever carry you on in their hearts. You were there for them and loved them from the start! For you Have given these kids something you never had to do but stood up and chose to do. We love you Willie D, pawpaw and will continue with your guidance and love for the rest of our lives. Now is your time to shine and relax we promise to take wonderful care of momma.

You were a great cousin. You were nice and friendly, and put up with me and my boys’ whenever I/we came to visit (which wasn’t too often). I’m grateful that you helped Aunt Wilma out so much after Uncle Milton went home, along with your family duties. I know you & Uncle Milton are rejoicing with Jesus, our Father.
