Dad/Archie, I only got to call you Dad for a short almost 13 years, but I am blessed to have had that time with you. I love you so very much & enjoyed spending time with you. I will forever cherish the memories we made talking, & playing guitar, & singing together.
I remember when you started sleeping late, I asked why & you looked @ me & said, “You Know!†Because you knew, I knew you were lonely. Dad, your not lonely anymore, no more pain, no tears. Reunited with loved ones, in Heaven with Jesus, you are.
To my husband & family & friends .my heart & prayers are with us all during this time. Until we meet again, rest in Jesus, Dad.
I love you â¤ï¸

Steve and I had many great times with Archie at Wesley Chapel Freewill Baptist Church. I remember when him and Erma were "courtin", I would call him Sparky. They would sit out in the the church parking lot and talk for hours. They were so cute! He would always sing, "How Great Thou Art" and say, "Bro. Steve, this one is for you." May you have wonderful memories that will always give you a lil giggle when you think of him. Love and prayers to you all.
