jlynnlaas Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Today has been 2 years since my father, Dr. Jerry L. Worthy, passed away of cancer. It gets easier everyday, but I will always think of my father on a daily basis. I just want to thank you all for your support during that sad time 2 years ago and the prayers that were sent our way. My Daddy M.D. Whenever Daddy signs his name He always writes M.D. So that people will all know That he belongs to me For M.D. means "My Daddy" Or something just the same And that is why he always puts These letters in his name. Some letters in his name are small But these are not, you see, He always makes them big like that Because he's so proud of me. -----Author Unknown Link to post Share on other sites

sheri714 Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 Your father was one of the most considerate and kind hearted friend I have ever known. He always had a smile and a positive attitude even on his trying days. I went with him to Cobb Hospital along with your brother for treatment . You would never had known he was the patient that day, he showed more compation and gave strength to others there faced with the same affliction. I feel for your heartache as he was such a special man. I think of him often and miss him dearly. Sheri Link to post Share on other sites
