Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

My Condolences to the family. I am one of many of his grandchildren and I'm so hurt that I never had the chance to get to know him. I love you grand daddy and continue to sleep in peace ❤️

Now he's gone and everything that he had meant to me is all coming back to me now . All that was good and all that was not so good. I'm so hurting right now. Didn't think I would feel this way. Love forever ❤️

First of all I would like to say that I have never stopped loving this man. When we got married he was supposed to be my forever love. What happened between us was not because we didn't love each other but because of circumstances that we couldn't control. I have always thought about him over the years , but knew that we couldn't be together. I will be back with more to say. I have the opportunity to talk about it in here. Nobody wants to be bothered with me because I think that they think that I just got rid of him because I didn't want to be bothered. But I was afraid for my life and my children. Those that don't know the story are the ones who are judging me. He'll always be in my heart .

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
