We will always remember the full life you lived before you were brainwashed and coerced. We remember the laughter, the small everyday moments, and the steady love you gave—before you were isolated and alienated from your family and friends.
We carry the grief of the ways you were coerced and manipulated, and we mourn the choices you were pressured into—choices that do not reflect the true measure of your heart. The false words that drove a divide between us NEVER erased the bond we shared or the memories we hold dear.
You are not defined by those moments of confusion or pain. You are the same father we loved then and love now. We treasure the good you gave us, the lessons you taught, and the kindness that lived in you long. The many times spent together as a family and fun times before the storm.
May you rest free from the coercion, manipulation, and sorrow that shadowed your later years. We forgive the things made under duress, and we forgive ourselves for what we could not change. In our mourning, we also hold gratitude—for the life you lived, for the love you shared, and for the parts of you that will always remain with us. Give Mom and Priscilla a hug from us all.
With love and remembrance, until we see you again. Xoxoxoxo❤️❤️❤️🙏
