James, my big brother. I see your picture every day, I dream of you and we hang out, doing our thang to the song "Me and baby brother used to run together" by the band War. I talk with you every day and I know you are there. You are gone, but never forgotten. Love you always and until the lights goes out, I'll see you then.

James was such a fun-loving and caring person. We often spoke about how delicious his potato salad was. Noone compares! Tre, Malcom Myles and I will miss him dearly. We're fortunate to have loved and known him. Hold on Mom. God sees your every tear and is the only One who can dry them.

Sometimes it's like it just doesn't hit you until you actually see a picture.

My prayers and sincerest condolence is with Melly, Leon, and the members of the Spraggins family.

Mr. Spraggins was a good friend of mine for many years and his love, wisdom, and wit will be missed ever so immensely.

During this time of loss and sorrow I would like to encourage you to lean on the Father of all. Only he is able to give you the peace that surpasses all understanding. I just recently lost my own father and know without any doubts that God is able to ease the pain even tho some may see him as the one who caused it.

I pray that the Lord’s love and power of his might guard your hearts and minds as only he can. There is a place in heaven prepared for Mr. Spraggins where the toils of this life we live are over.

The Legacy of Mr. Spraggins will forever be alive in the hearts of those he left behind.

God Bless and Keep you all

Shawn’ta known to Mr. Spraggins as Kaprie*

God saw you getting tired,
When a cure was not to be.
So He wrapped his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to me".
You didn't deserve what you went through, So He gave you rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
He only takes the best....

Deepest Sympathy to my aunt Sharon, Stepvon, & the Spraggins Family. He will truly be missed.
