To Jackie, Lolita and family;
It is with much regret to hear of the passing of Doc who was like a brother since I was always mistaken for one of the Samuels sisters and your family was like family to me.
Doc has made his transition from earth to glory to join Mom, Dad, Edward, Barbara, Ralph, Linda and Yvonne.
May God continue to bless each of you and wrap his around around you and cover you in the precious blood of Jesus.
I love you all.
