From Becki...
My dad was such a helpful person and he had
so many friends. I dont think he
had an enemy in this world. Every person he
came in contact with loved him
dearly. He didnt have much to give other than
his love but he sure did do a
good job of that. One thing I remember about
him is that he was a huge Richard
Petty fan. Always made me laugh. Well anyway,
I dont know what else to say. I
could probably sit here all day and talk about
the things I remember about
him. I love him so much and I know he loved
me to. I will share with you the
poem I wrote for him that I read at his funeral.
I hadnt cried much the day
of his service until I stood in front of all
of his friends and tried to read
it.
I called it...My Angel until my mom read
it and changed the name.....
Becki's Angel
Back when I was a little girl,
and I was scared because the
rain,
you held me in your arms and
said,
"I promise you wont be scared
again."
For the rain is just the angels,
You see, they cry when they
are sad
and sometimes when they're happy,
they cry because they're glad.
So that story that you told
me,
means so much today.
As I sit and watch it rain,
I cry in a happy way.
I know that your're in heaven,
and your're watching over me
as the rain comes down outside,
I am as safe as I can be.
For now, you are my angel,
holding on so tight,
I know you wont let go,
or let me out of sight.
I'll miss you more than ever,
but no matter how far away,
I love you more and more,
each and every day.
So for now I'll say goodbye,
to my daddy that I love.
I'll see you someday soon,
my angel up above.
One year without you has seemed like an eternity...
