Linda and Ricky,

I am still trying to deal with the lost of your husband and your father and my cousin, Tony. It is not easy to say the right words or know how you feel about your lost. I know that Tony has always been a part of my life as kids. I remember the first day that I met my little cousin and he left an everlasting mark in my heart. He loved to have fun, tell jokes and play jokes on others. The most important thing I will always remember is that he loved his family with all of his heart. If he knew he was kin to you, he always made should that you will never forget that you were kin. I wrote him on Christmas to wish him and the family a Happy Holiday and I never heard from him. Which made it hard to except because no matter what he would always write back. One day in January, I get this message from him, saying Happy Holiday from Africa. It made me happy to know that he was alright. After he got back from his trip, he called just to say Hi Cuz and I will be calling you back because we need to talk. I never got that call from him. Only the call to say he had gone to Heaven.

In Tony’s word, we are family and I hope that you all will remember that we are family. Love you all from Poindexter Family.
