Shock "Stay True"

I remember when I first met you. It was when we were living in Americana Apartments--My fiance', Curtis considered you his brother. It's a shame you had to die over nothing. I never thought that I would ever had to say goodbye to you. I've asked God to watch over your soul and HE's waiting for you. We promise to help watch over your mother, BB, and Little Joe. We were expecting to celebrate a New Year together--All of us--but although you are gone, you will NEVER be forgotten and me and Curtis promise to ALWAYS---Stay True.



Love Your Sister,

Capretha
