Just remembering good times. We playing domino's, you talking noise at the table. Just living and having fun. It was you that was always down for my son, and looking out for him when he was at Nimitz. I remember saying, "Ced, how lil greg get on your bus?", and you answering, "Tonya don't worry about what we doing, i got him. He alright while he with me!' What could i say, you know you run everything. Lol. I couldn't do nothing but laugh. And you and my son been cool every since. It's your character who made you, you. No one can ever duplicate that. Get some rest friend and save a spot for me at the domino table.... when i get there, I got next. :)

Cedric you will be missed. I could always count on you to do anything I asked of you.I knew when you pulled into the parking lot your music rattled my windows but that was always okay with me because I knew our kiddo's were in good hands and on their way to school. I know you are playing that music in Heaven right now and it is booming and bright. You were one of a kind and a great big void has been left in our Aldine Family that can never be filled.

Miss me but let me go


When I come to the end of the road

And the sun has set for me

I want no rites in a gloom-filled room

Why cry for a soul set free?


Miss me a little, but not too long

And not with your head bowed low

Remember the love that once we shared

Miss me but let me go


For this is a journey that we all must take

And each must go alone.

It's all a part of life's plan

A step on the road home.


When you are lonely and sick at heart

Go the the friends we know

And bury your sorrow in doing good deeds

Miss me but let me go.

Love you cousin
