Remembrances
Greeting from your New York family,
We are deeply sadden about the death of our beloved cousin. He show the strength, will power, determination, blessings of the Gadsden family. Although, we are unable to attend, you are always in our heart and prays.
My dearest family,
Our sweet Mac Daddy is watching us from heaven and saying, "Do not cry a tear for me for I am now with my savior Jesus Christ". He is now among G-d's angels looking over each and every one of you, a proud husband, a proud father, a proud grandfather, uncle and friend. While it was too early for any of us to lose him, G-d needed another angel among his midsts and wanted this sweet man to help him carry his word, to love one another, to care for one another, and to remember him fondly. He will be forever in our hearts. Be there for each other and make him proud for he will always walk among you and watch over you as your angel.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. But please remember the good times and remember your father will forever be in your heart. I will remember him always as a hard worker and loving father. All my love to you guys!
Wendy
