Celebration of Life For Dalo

If I only had a few more minutes before you passed away I'd tell you all the things I didn't get to say I'd sit down with you and reminisce about our cape cod days Go over one more time the particular day you walked my way When you asked me, "can I meet your friend", and you and taryn danced the night away. It was no doubt, meant to be and your family instantly grew to three, taryn was your rock and Jordyn was your number one girl. Within a year you got the news you family would grow to four. I remember when you called me after receiving the news, you kept asking me if it was true. I told u yes cuz taryn wouldn't play a joke like that on you. You were going to be an exceptional father as you already had proven to be. As expected, You embraced the role and a new glow came over you that I had never seen before. The love the joy that shun through your eyes as your family became a family of five. a memory that will never fade in our minds. You worked day and night to provide your family with anything they did need. I was amazed to see how much you changed throughout the years right in front of me. Your sacrifice, your drive. It was much too early to say goodbye. To a man who's smile alone warmed our heart, a man with so much love of life. From Haiti to Oregon, You played such a prominent role in everyones lives. Your spirit and values will carry on, especially through your daughters eyes. I'll miss our talks, I'll miss the laughter, I'll miss your relationship advice I'll miss you telling me to be happy and just enjoy life I will cherish every word you ever said, even the ones I didn't understand I will make sure the girls realize you are right there still holding their hands Looking over them protecting them the best that you can I will continue to bring my friend back to the joyous state I know you would want her to be. You'd tell her to keep your head up taryn, my love cuz I live inside of you too. To wipe our tears and go on with our days. Live life to the fullest and don't question gods way If I had just a few more moments with you, there's so much more I would say I'd thank you for the beautiful Angels you brought this way I'd thank you for showing my friend the definition of true love God blessed her with your presence in her life Because You were truly heaven sent from above For me the words unspoken never really needed to be said More than just a friend you were like no other You will always hold a place in my heart, because u you were my brother Your love will never be forgotten The fun we shared, The laughter, the cries We know the hurt will ease in time The joy you brought, with all of your love and affection You will always be so much apart Apart of your soul mate taryn, Your daughters Jordyn, taelyn and Jaxyn Although we miss you, we are comforted your presence will never leave their side So from this day forward, my brother, Dalo, WE CELEBRATE YOUR LIFE
