My father was a GOOD man, husband, and father, but held superior as a great grandfather. In my younger years, I didn't like my name (being his namesake), but today I stand proud for his entity to live on through me. My husband, daughters, and I will sorely miss him; however cherish the memories, love, and impact he made in our lives. Anyone that knew my father knows, family was first priority above any/all with him! Rest in Peace Dad!
In his HOLY name,
Mrs. Donisha Batts (Houston, Texas)
