My brother in law has been dead a month now and it still does not seem real. I think about him often remembering all the times our family spent together or my just going to visit on Monday`s and hang out .

I see the pain and emptiness  in my sister Von`s eyes and I know it will be there for a long time to come. I wish I could take it away, but that is something I have to realize I can`t do. Only time and God can do that. All I can do is be right here when she needs me which I am and she knows this.

Trinket and Patrick miss their Father as do his grandchildren. They want their poppa back. Smalley spent a lot of time with Nevaeh and Madison and loved to play in the dirt with them or let them pretend to paint his nails. Just as he did when his children and my children were little. I always told him he was a big kid and he would laugh he knew he was.

Smalley is missed so much he will never be forgotten this man was and always will be  my Hero .
