They say only the good die young, and anyone who knew you, knew that you were a great person! I appreciate the times you were there for me and looked out and I'm sorry I couldn't come to see you one last time. If I could sing you know what I would sing for you, BoyZ 2 Men Its so hard to say goodbye...ofcourse I could never sing it like how you could. I'm praying for your parents, daughters & all your close friends and family. You will truly be missed Big B.

They say God only Takes the best !! My condolences go out to the family of Mr Perker. Big B was such a sweet kind person to all. He may not have known who I was. ButI knew him as a little kid growing up when Eriana was just a little baby. Good memories!! R.I.H
