Father, I thank you for being the Father that other young men would love to have. You taught me to take care of my family, no matter what the circumstances were. You taught me to love despite of what people did against me. You was always there if I needed to talk, to laugh a little, or just to he encouraged. The most important thing a father can do for a son, is you taught me the Word of God! You always said, nothing will stand, but the Word of God will always stand. I didnt understand a lot of it at first, but now I do, and Tm moving forward with my head held up, looking towards the hills which all my help come from. Father, thank you. Its hard right now, but I know youre in Heaven rejoicing that the storm is over now. And I know youre with the Almighty and His Son, no more pain, no more crying, no more worries, just peace and joy and happi- ness. I want you to know, the teachings you have done was not in vain. Father your name lives on, me and (your son) will fulfill the destiny for you. I wish you was here, but God loved you more, I wanted to show you the man you had raised, but I know you will look down on me, and speak to me, and tell me Son, everything is goingto be all right. Father, I loveyou with all my heart. You have been a great fa- ther and husband. I dont regret one day. You were everything for me, my wife, my sisters, and all of Claxton, Georgia. Once again. Father, I loveyou, and I will always stay with God!! Tell my Grandfather, Grandmother, Aunt Marie I love them, and save me a spot in Heaven. I Love You! Charles L.

I will miss all the laughs and conversations that we had together. I want you to now rest and one day we will meet again.
