Cant believe youve been gone ten years Uncle Skee. You are one of the finest Godliest men I have ever known. To hear you pray was one of the most beautiful memories I have of you. For when you prayed it was you were in the presence of God and there was no doubt He was your Best Friend.
I too will always remember your laugh because it was infectious. You could ever be unhappy around you. I will never ever forget your kindness Uncle Skee eve as a child you made me feel special.
One of the smartest decisions AuntGertrude ever made was marrying you. Im so happy she did because she br ought a blessing into my life. I love and miss you Uncle Skee and you made my life much better by being in it.

Dear Aunt Gertrude,Skeebo, Gwen, Dukie, Sandra and all the rest of the family. There are no words to adequately describe how much Uncle Skee meant to me. I remember as a little girl Uncle Skee always had time for me, he could always put a smile on my face. As I grew up, I realized just what a special person he really was. Uncle Skee was a good Christian man,showing us all by the life that he led. I remember many time sitting in Smyrna Church, listening to Uncle Skee pray, he would bring a tear to your eyes and joy to your hearts by the beautiful, straight from the heart prayers he would pray.
I am thankful to have had Uncle Skee in my life, I will miss our phone chats and his physical presence in our life but, we all know that Uncle Skee's in heaven and
we have our memories of the good, kind man he was. Love to you all, Juanita

Heaven has another precious angel who is watching over all of you.
When I think of Skee, I smile as he was such a kind and caring person to all. I have such fond memories of him when we were growing up together and he will always hold a special place in my heart. Keep fond memories close at heart to get you through the difficult days ahead.
I feel and understand your loss and am so sorry.

With deepest sympathy on the loss of your love one. Mr Pleasants was loved and respected by everyone who came in contact with him. He will be sorely missed by the family, but cherish his memories as he is in heaven now watching over you. He was a true southern gentlemen in all ways.

And like the seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.
Skee will be missed by many. I'll miss seeing him sitting at the end of the driveway in evenings getting the mail, he always waved...
May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead.
