Champ,
You will definitely be missed. You were truly a one of a kind. You ALWAYS SPOKE YOUR MIND. That’s one of the many things I LOVED about you. You were a joy to be around. I can remember the very first time I met you and you told me that I had some pretty hands. I made sure to come and see you and Grandma Chavis, every time you guys came up to MD to visit and felt welcome when I came to visit you guys. I am so very honored that you and Grandma Chavis came up to my wedding. I felt very special and knew that you guys wouldn’t miss it for nothing in the world and you didn’t. I love you and will miss you!
Love Kesha
