Uncle Big boy I love you and miss you more than you will ever know. You fought a good fight and we are blessed to have had you in our lives. We understand that you were on loan to us as we all are. May God strenthen and keep this family in the palm of his hand because we know that be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Thanks for the laughs and the joy you brought us all. Rest in GOD now you deserve it.

Uncle Lil Boy you've been apart of my life for the last 26 years. We've been through a lot of good times as a family and some not so good, for instance when I totaled your car. You never fussed or got ypset with me (at least I never heard you say anything). I remember many times as a little girl, being stuck in N.C. for the summer. You would come to N.C. to pick me up after of course "hanging out with my grandaddy" and we, the family know what was going on. There were many times I wanted to be just like you. I would sneak in the shed behind our house where you kept all your tools and tried to build things like you; of course my work never looked anything like yours. I was so amazed that you could take a piece of wood and turn it into a masterpiece. You had a gift and i was gifter to have you in my life for as long as I did. I will cherish every moment until we meet again I love you & will be waiting on my birthday moneyfrom club meeting:-) R.I.P. Love Shamarah
