“I was one of the nieces. It was saddening finding out what happened i miss him very much. We had so many good memorys togethor and my parents do to. It saddens me to think ” Wow this is reality such a good man is actually gone ” only found out through Terry James Herring ( Tj herring ) Coming to our door saying his own father was gone.”

“I miss you pops, still have thoughts about waking and seeing mom pound on your chest, going next door and telling Floyd about it, bringing me to tears. It hurt that your gone. I was the mini you. Named after you, still remember watching creepy movies together and you scaring me mid way. A everlasting memory to me was when you stood at the door and busted out crying and asked me, (Am i a good father). Truth is, your the best father i can ever ask for. Thoughts of you pass through my head with sighs through the night. I love you Dad.”

“Been almost half a decade since you left, a lot has happened since then. When through battles and struggles like you did. Also like you mom was there, set me right and helped me back on my feet. I graduated 3 years ago, made sure to stick to it for you. I’m an assistant manager at the same company you worked for. I got my dream car at just 21, a 2019 Dodge Charger and don’t worry I won’t be stupid with it Dad. I still use your teachings and advice y’know, you always had the best of them especially at 2am in the laundry room when neither of us could catch a wink of sleep. You always worried about being enough but in truth, you were so much more then enough, you were amazing, heart of gold and the smile of a golden retriever. Sometimes I just sit and think of how you feel looking down at me, wondering if you feel disappointed I picked up some of your bad habits or if you’re proud that I came so far. I still remember that look on your face in the counselors office, breaks my heart Everytime I want to relapse, but I won’t, not when I got people worrying about me. I love you Dad, say hi to Kev and Marq for me”
— Terry James Herring
