Earl Silas, Sr. Memoriam

Dear Father: On this day, I had only one last hug and touch. I told you that I don't think, I could live without you, not even on this journey. I kissed your cheek, took your hand so gently. Knowing how much I'll miss the sparkle in your eyes. Father, I know your battle was for a reason, you endured to the end. Jesus knew my only wish then: One last phone call, one last smile from my father. The angles, covered you with Gods love, it's time to get your wings Sir. To leave this life behind you, and enjoy all of heaven beautiful things. You turned and looked at me, it seem like an (Earthquake), under my feet. The day, I leave this earthly plain, please be there to bring me home father. Love, Ms. Geneva D. Silas Psalms 145:14 Merry Christmas Father
