If I had just one more day with you, I'd give you the hug we both deserved. I'd smile just to see it reflected in your eyes. I'd hold your hand until I had to let go. Then I'd kiss your cheek; tell you that I love you and that I understand you had to leave. Be safe on your journey. You will 
forever be in my heart. 
I Love You, Eb Eb

To Dad, 
I say to you not goodbye, but see you later in heaven. You will be missed by all, but by me the most because of all the times wasted, all 
the remembered, and all the times we will not 
have as father and son. I love you, I love you, I love youl I didn't say it as much, but you knew 
it. I love you daddy. 
Jerald Willis

with laughter and heart filled memories...I will hold your last spoken "I loved you Zackee", forever close to my heart! May your journey 
to be with our Savior be sweet. 
I love you...until we meet again, Zakiya
