Obb you were always full of jokes, especially the ones you played on me and Bonnie how I loved the way you went right along with him. You have supported each other thru thick and thin and there is something to be said for that.We all will miss you Obb.
Bonnie , Brian ,Mark and Stephen I am so sorry that you have lost someone that was a part of your life. Take the Good things that was taught to you and share with others now . You carry the torch to show the next generation that you are there for them too. God bless your families thru this time.

Obb,
You will be missed, but never forgotten. When we meet in heaven, I'll bring a new fishing pole so you can show me how to use it correctly. Always willing to help any of the cousins out, I love you and will miss you dearly. Prayers to Bonnie and all the family. Rest in peace cousin.
