To my dear, sweet PaPa I can't believe your gone from this earth but I know now that your at peace with GOD. I will always cherish the wonderful memories that I have of you and keep them close to my heart. You taught me so much in life and I'm grateful for our time together. I'm sad that you never had the chance to meet my son, Omar Jr. Believe me he will always know who you were and how important you were to me. I can only hope that he will grow up to be half the man you were. Your legacy will live on forever in this beautiful family that you and MiMi created. Rest easy my loving PaPa, and watch over us. I know that you will be dancing in heaven waiting at the gates for me. Till we meet again...... Love always & forever, Heather
