A Legacy is a Gift to the Next Generation. Each individual chooses the type of Legacy they will leave their family and friends. Gratefully my Dad chose to leave me a Life Legacy.
My Dad is the most honest person I have ever known. He taught me to be trustworthy, inquisitive, persevering, honest, truthful, diligent, forgiving, loyal, kind, genuine, grateful, respectful, innovative, committed, authentic, purposeful, industrious, courageous, moral, caring, and giving. Most importantly he taught me to reverence, fear, know, honor, trust, serve, and love God without compromise. My Dad was a carpenter during the latter portion of his season on earth, and he generously prepared for me a most useful tool belt to answer the call of God on my life, for which I am eternally grateful. My life is because of his entrusted living legacy.
In loving dedication, honor and memory of My Dad, Clarence Franklin Easton (March 17, 1924-October 4, 2000)...the one who taught me to Walk in Integrity, Stand in Faith, Trust in God, Work Hard, Seek Wisdom, Ask Questions, Never Stop Learning, Speak Truth, Never Give Up, Respect America's Flag, Pray Often, Avoid Addictions, Be on Time, Keep Commitments, Love Unconditionally, Be Strong not Dominating, Forgive Often and read the Bible daily. He was a first generation Christian, a WWII Veteran, a brother, uncle, Dad, husband, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend. He left a rich legacy for his family. What I miss the most is that he always believed in me and championed my endeavors.
