Today they laid you to rest, and this has really bothered me in so many ways, as the heart aches that your momma has , I can't imagine , remembering the day I met you for the first time , remembering when you return back home to your love ones , you paid a visit with a big smile & hug .
I know that my son found a true guiwine friend in you , so many time I heard your name over the years, how you were a very caring person and the love you had for family , just 2 weeks ago you called him and text him a photo of your daughter, and he sent it to me to view, I have it yet.
May GOD bless your momma and family with their heavy burdens of the absent of having you around , in your children you will remain of being a part of the vision of you . R.I.P. Skip

RIP Skip. I'll never forget that from the first minute I met you, you treated me like family. I'm sorry I lost track of you the last couple years - I guess life takes people in different directions sometimes - but I'll always count you as a friend. I hope your family can find some sort of peace eventually. They are in my thoughts and prayers.

There are no words that I can express to Skip's family or friends that will ease the pain or lessen the devastation of his passing. Skip was a wonderful person, great friend and a spectacular father. And, although he was taken from us entirely too soon, we were lucky to have known him. To say he will be missed is a grave understatement but, truly, he will never be forgotten and will remain forever in our hearts.
