Praise the Lord. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with the Backner Family as the Holy Spirit comforts them. Our prayers are with you all, especially my friend, his Aunt Anna. Warmly,

Mooke was a unique person. Sometimes misunderstood and misjudged, but he loved life and loved his family. He will always be grateful to Pam for trying to give him a better life and for being more than a surrogate mother and for taking him to horizons in life and always be grateful to Do Do and Daryl for being his uncles and big brothers and for Alekia and Drea and all his sisters for loving him as Mooke. And to his younger brother for respecting and honoring him. He's grateful for Wayne, Anna and Charlene Backner his grandmother and aunt and uncle. If Mooke could tell ya anything he would probably say don't be mad or sad that I'm gone, just be glad that I lived my life as Mooke and believe it or not my grandmothers and my mothers Pam and Charlotta's and family's prayers worked, I'm seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus but I gotta go because we are in the middle of a rap session and he got some dope lyrics.
