Cliche (but true)...Gone, but not forgotten. He rode in the back seat of my car the day before his surgery. We went to get medicine and take him to the barber. He was looking as sharp as ever in his "brown" attire. On the way home from the barber shop, the song "Hallelujah" (Christmas version-up tempo) was playing on the radio. We were both singing with the song! He was singing much louder than me and with an undeniable passion. "Hallelujah" IS the HIGHEST praise. He loved the Lord and I am sure that God welcomed him with open arms. I miss your spirit "Unc". RIP

Uncle Ba-Bro,
Always know that you are missed everyday, but I also know that you are now in the company of Greatness and at Peace. I hope that you are sharing your wonderful spirit, smile, and laughter at His House. And know that WE, who remain on Earth are continuing to hang in there and missing you in the meantime. Luv ya, Andrea

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

Marilyn,
Mario and I are so glad we were able to see you & William a few weeks ago. Who knew that it was to say "goodbye" to your brother; someone that is sincerely loved not only by Mario and I but also the kids who know William as LaLa. But we are grateful to GOD for allowing that last meeting. We are just around the corner, so for those times that you feel lonely, you know where I live. XOXOXOXOXO

I'm going to really miss you big brother. It's going to be lonely without you in the home but I know that I will not be alone because the Lord will be with me and you will always be in my heart. I love you but I know that God loves you more. We shared so many good times that I will always treasure deep within my heart. I thank God for time HE gave us together as brother and sister and as friends--but most of all brother and sister in Christ. I love you brother and I know that you love me too.

My good friend has left and go on to heaven with peace and love in his heart. I will truly miss all the fun, good times we had back in the days. I could talk with you about anything and you always gave me advice in life. You will be truly missed by all that have crossed your path inyour left time. You loved your family and as always put them first no matter what in your life time. You loved your clothes always dressed your best when you stepped out. You love to work to take your needs and family needs. Most of all I love you and no one can take a friend ship like ours ever away. I am going to miss you and that beautiful smile on your face. Rest in peace my friend and you will never be forgotten.
To the family you are going to miss the jewel of the family and my prayers are with you always. Every one that meet your father loved him for being respectful and caring to others.
