By Dana World Patterson and Krislyn World
Our memories begin where love abides since Mom, Gloria World, said that we were conceived in love. And throughout our lives, that’s all we have known from each of you.
That’s us, Dane-Dane and Krissy. Our formative years were special and made us who we are today — courageous, confident, well traveled, with Floridian roots, lovers of fine things, and discerning. We love you deeply and hold you in the highest esteem —Hosie World, Jr., a tall, handsome, impeccably dressed man who loved his girls. You always saw the best in us, and we did no wrong in your eyes. You were a man of few words. But we knew that you meant what you said.

We imagine that being a Milwaukee police officer for over 30 years was hard work, stressful, and perplexing. Nonetheless, you were an excellent provider for your family. Your strength was evident then and carries the weight of gold today. We knew we could depend on you for everything. And you never failed to come through.
Fast forward to today. We are indescribably grateful that God has blessed you and Mom with longevity. And Dad, we hope you know how much we cherish your wisdom and gentle guidance. With your cool contagious demeanor, you’re still our protector who regularly reminds us to ‘take it easy.’
Time has transformed us from Dane-Dane and Krissy — your terms of endearment that capture who we are and whose we are — to ‘Daughter.’ Nonetheless, we are eternally grateful for the lessons, examples, fun, hard knocks wisdom, guidance, and love that you have provided over the years. Thank you for honoring us with your last name. We’re proud to be your daughters and elated that you are our Dad.
With LOVE …
