He had 6 daughters and 1 son who loved him more then life. We will remember YOU forever.Were just glad your suffering on this old earth is through. YOU are the greatest Father that will EVER be. You've touched many lifes of people you will never know. Daddy you went through more trials and tribulations then one could ever imagine, but YOU always came up head first and swinging. If there's only one thing anyone would ever remember YOU by It would be your SMILE, a smile that could light up a million lights in the sky. YOU always had that special lil twinkle in your eyes when you would smile. We all love and Miss YOU more and more each and everyday we thought as time past it would be easier to accept but as the time passes it only gets harder. The memories of our life with you only grow stronger DAY-by-DAY. LOVE YOU ALWAYS MICHELLE


Oh man what a DAY / Michelle Michelli (Daughter)
MAN do I wish i could run to you and let everything be back ok. Im sorry cause now that your gone I see how much you had on your plate just holding the peace between us all and how selfish we all were to never even take a step back and see LIFE from YOUR shoes.. If we all could have walked one day JUST ONE day in your shoes well I tell you what every one of us would have all been so much different well Just listen to Blake Sheltons song HOME........I know im gonna feel like crap later when Im done crying and feel stupid for writing this but all of us CAnt make it to your grave and I need to get this cry out and talk to you Im sure you can hear us anyway. My whole plane ride I listened to that damn song thinking of you being so far up in them clouds seeing how beautiful it was. I miss Belinda so much. I wish I could have you back for one more day Im so mad at the world still and full of anger I feel like we were all robbed ROBBED of our life with you and you were robbed of your life with us all. We had to go all them years without you and you finaly get to come home and just when everything was getting so perfect Our whole world was crumbled right under our feet that Easter morning Who could ever forget walking up and down them halls at that hospital that morning trying not to let you see the fear in my eyes and the tears that were running down my face. I remember being so young and dumb not knowing nothing but taking that doctor to the side and yelling at him screaming there is no way there wasnt a cure for cancer that he was lying there was something some kind of medicine they could give you that would take it all back but realizing FAST he wasnt lying and it wasnt a Joke You were really full of LUNG CANCER them words have destroyed US ALL forever! I have never in my life tried to ever avoid you but that day and the next few after I remember momma telling me to PLEASE stop crying and dont let daddy see you cry be strong for him and every second I thought about trying to not cry in front of you it would KILL me inside and I would Cry that much more I remember standing in front of you once I finaly got the courage to walk down the hall to your room and try to talk that was the hardest thing I have ever been through in my life standing in front of you as I kept rolling my eyes up and over and over trying to roll the tears back in and keep them from falling I can still hear your voice from that very second saying Chelle Im gonna DIE! I remember falling out crying telling you to stop saying that you WASNT gonna die that GOd did miracles and That HE WAS gonna heal you that you just had to believe! But you knew. you knew you were leaving us and you knew no matter how hard you tried or what you did it wasnt gonna stop you from leaving us I LOVE you so much because no matter how hard it was for us or how much we were hurting you never cried or never said you were angry atleast not to me I guess you knew it was your fate and nothing would change it I only seen you cry a couple times I dont know if it was because you were scared to die or scared to leave us. Or if it ever even really dawned on you after all you had been through in your life but you were so strong and held on for so long even when your body was so weak and you couldnt even open your eyes I prayed every second of my life for god to please heal you every church I passed on the way from tx to louisiana I would pray to each of them ha and believe me there are a lot of churches off I-10 from here to there but after seeing you laying in that damn bed being so scared and calling out for your own momma who had been dead for so many years seeing the fear in your eyes and face when you didnt even realize it was me and momma standing in front of you You kicked me so hard in the chest you knocked me across our living room and you had momma in a head lock by her hair yelling for someone to please call the cops and help you people was breaking in you thought we were robbers and You were so scared after that night I realized the CANCER done spread all over you and I needed to figure out how to let you go because there wasnt gonna be that miracle that i had been praying for So never in my life would I have ever thought I would have EVER asked GOD to PLEASE take you but from that night on every night I would cry and it was so hard to pray for GOD to please take you home when you went to sleep I couldnt bare to see you so weak and so scared that you didnt know who we were and you couldnt eat breath or think But that night was my wake up call I gave up on believing there was a god! Because I thought if there really was a god how could he do this to us and take my daddy we just got him back. And how after all the prayers and believing in him and knowing you were gonna be healed how dumb was I really to even believe it was gonna just be gone I dont know all I knew was I wanted it to go away and let it all have been a bad joke someone was playing on us all. It has been years since I have put eyes on my sisters and my momma I know its a sin but I cant bare to go through anymore heartache I know if it wouldnt have been for Tanner being there I would have died right with you cause I didnt want to be here without you but I knew I had a promise to keep up to you that You would never have to worry about me and my baby so I knew I couldnt take my own life and leave my child with the hurt I was feeling So I guess Tanner was my blessing because I wouldnt be here today No one knows what I went through because I was always in Texas and I try to keep it all in and not let people see my feelings but man its hard to this day but I have no choice but to know that one day I will be back with you and GOD I cant wait to see your smile again and hear you call my name! I guess we all got so wrapped up in our own feelings that no one wanted to worry about the other and our whole family went to shit! Like I said Im sorry I didnt realize what all you had on your shoulders with all of our crazy butts and all of our problems. Im sorry but I had to let a tiny bit of this out its driving me nuts. Im sorry for my part in this family not being together but I cant bare anymore not that anyone else can handle anymore then me or anything. But I do know what mama did for you and I watched everything she did to take care of you while you were sick even when everyone turned their back on her I knew better then what anyone was saying I watched her do things and clean you that no other person would have ever been able to do she never left your side she felt you take your last breath and let go.......................... Love you both more then life Chelle XOXOXO

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me, Love DADDY
