I met you a couple of times and you expressed to me that family is important and you were happy to know who I was and to take care of myself.
God bless you man. God will take good care of you now.

Dad, yesterday was very hard for me, the realization of you not walking through my door with your smile and jokes is very hard to bear. I dont want to be selfish with God but I miss you so much and dont think you had enough time with us. I pray that some day time will heal our wounds.

Aunt Stein and Tish, Oh how I wanted to be in DC to hug my Aunt and my Cuz Junior's daughter, Tish and the grandchild. I can never forget the days of Christmas in Fort McCoy with Alvin and Junior. Oh how I long for those days at times. Aunt Stein and Tish, the pain and tears are great now. But my faith says that one day the Master will wash them away. You all and the rest of the family are in my prayers. We are already missing Junior. One day we will understand it all, in the sweet bye and bye.

Auntee, Tish

We really wished that we could have been there for you both. As you know, we were at the homestead to handle the passing of Phyllis. I know that it's during this time that people say some of the stuff that they don't really mean and you won't see them until the next funeral, but from the depths our hearts we are sorry for our loss. Jr. was a unique individual with a huge heart with a great capacity for love. I've never known someone who loved his family like he did. We are going to miss him. We will see you soon and continue to pray for you both. Thank you for him and all the love you invested in him. It was not wasted.

Ms. Clinkscale, you probably don't remember me,I was older than both your sons. But I watched them grow up along with my brothers on Foote Street. The first time I saw Jr. after I moved from Foote Street, I gave him my address. From that point on, no matter where I moved, I was sure to see him. He always knew where I lived and would at the most unexpected time, show up with that smile of his on his face. Although, I only saw him twice in 2009, I took it for granted that at some point he would show up..like always. To hear of his passing, hurt me dearly. I only wished I had known before today, so that I could have came and said goodbye. Out of all the friends that my brothers had on Foote Street, for some reason Jr. was my baby. God has him in his loving arms now, where no harm can come to him anymore..his smile will be forever...and he is with his best friend (his brother). I will continue to keep you and your family in my heart and prayers.

Dad, For days I have been trying my best to stay strong and accept that God needed you and it was your time to go and serve him, but it is so hard. I miss your smile,our fun times together, our talks,and all the life lessons you've taught me. I just want you to know that I love you and you are my inspiration to carry on and continue to be the strong virtuous woman you always wanted me to be. I will never let you go Dad.

Junior,

My eyes filled up with tears as I heard the news.It never occurred to me, how much I could lose my cousin.I find myself wishing that it wasn't real.Every time I think about it, pain is all I can feel. Tears fall from my eyes, I can barely see.But my heart tells me that he'll always be with me.
I’m glad he feels no pain now-he lives in a perfect land. I can still feel his punches to the body of his hard fists. I lie in bed and mad at night. And I don’t feel any better in the morning light. And I will love and miss you (JUNIOR) forever. Until the day we are again together. Together in that perfect place above,Filled with caring, sharing and love. But until that day comes- I will wipe my tears away. And hopefully see him again (JUNIOR) someday

Love your Cousin Von and Family
