I made a decision when my father passed away that I was going to be who God made me to be and not try to preach like my father.
My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.
Those we love don't go away, they sit beside us every day.
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it.
The reason why I found acting is because my father passed away. He passed away really young. I was going to go to med school. My father's dream was that all of his kids become doctors. I realized in school I didn't like it. When he died, it was like a wake-up call. Life is too short to do something you don't want to do.
I remember when my father passed away, we drove the funeral procession past the bank so he could say one last goodbye. That's how much the bank meant to my father.
When my father passed away, he had his organs donated. In that painful moment, I was deeply comforted knowing that my father would be able to give others a second chance at life. That is why I encourage everyone to sign up to be a donor.

No, my father passed away when I was 13 years old. I was very young.
My father passed away before he saw me perform. I can't help but wonder what he would think of all this. I go to a job in full makeup.
When my father passed away two or three years ago, I didnt listen to music for four days - thats a long time for me.

My parents were married my whole life until my father passed away a few years ago.
I was an only child growing up, and my father passed away when I was twelve, so for most of my life, it was just me and my momma. We were really, really close. Learning to live in the world without her has been incredibly hard. At first, it didn't make any sense - how to do it, to live without her - but you slowly get somewhat used to it.
My father passed away a couple of years ago, but he was very old. He was almost a 100 years old. And, you know, he had a very good life. He came to America and he had a good life.
I was very empty after my father passed away. It was an emotional time, as it would be for anyone, but to be in the studio every day was kind of cathartic and healing and it just seemed very natural to continue.
