Daughters’ remembrances part of Pinckney funeral program

The Rev. Clementa Pinckney’s funeral service program included two messages from his daughters.

From Eliana, 11:

To My Daddy,

When someone loves you they care

Even if they are not there

They motivate you to prosper and believe

In any of your dreams

They watch over you day and night

To make you are doing alright

They believe in you and treat you well

And I many not show it but he won’t care

This person I am talking about here today

Is my dear father who passed away

And although he may be gone

He’s there with me all day and night long

I will always remember and love you.

Eliana

From Malana, 6:

Dear Daddy:

I know you were shot at the Church

and you went to Heaven.

I love you so much!

I know you love me

And I know that you know that I love you too.

You have done so much for me.

I can’t say it all. You will be watching over me

And you will be in my heart. I love you!

Love you baby girl and grasshopper,

Malana
