Uncle Ronald,
You are no longer physically here but I know you here in spirit. This time has definitely been a time to sit and reflect on how much of a wonderful easy going person you were. Never tried to bother anyone if anything we were always bothering you. Thanks for always being you, even when you were feeling sick in these last few years you still maintained your sense of humor.

Aunt Toots and Kevin, I know these times are tough but it will get easier. Keep your faith in God and understand that there is no more pain or suffering.

Love you both and always know I am here day or night

My favorite Brother-in-Law is gone home to be with the Lord (our inside joke of being my favorite brother-in-law when I only had one at the beginning of his marriage). I am going to miss him for our joking sessions and constantly attempting to be difficult in his unique manner. Most of all, I will miss his hand dancing stunts with our Mother. Our family truly lost a great pillar who was always there for us through all situations. I am thankful we shared so many years of joys and fun particular those family feasts where he would hide a particlar dessert to ensure that would be an additional serving for him later. Toots and family we are here for you at all times.
Ronald has gone home to Claim his Mansion
Love,

Bugeye will be missed.We loved him but God loved him more. There is no more pain for him. I've known Bugeye for many years(going back to our Booker T. days and then Norfolk State "Too Live Crew").His quiet demeaner and funny blush will always be in my heart. I can see you right now on that Heavenly Basketball Court making all the right moves and picking up points. Rest in peace my friend.

To Toots&Family,I know the heart aches for the initial moment but when the heart beats it reminds us of a savior who cures all our pain.Death is a door that allows us to a place that flesh and blood can not go, a place not made by hands, a place where we surrender all to abide in peace beyond all understanding....I know Bugeye is trying to get a game of whole court, setting the rules, no wings on break aways...We are going to miss him but the good thing about this life we enjoyed him while he was here...Take care and we wish him well in his new begining...Like I used to tell Bugeye you had to get a "Carver Trojan" to be complete..hahahaha..Love you Toots and my prayers will continue to be with you and the family....

To Toots, Kevin & Family:
What can I say. Bugeye has been a member of our family most of my life. He is to be remembered as a serious, nonchalant gentleman whose smile would definitely brighten the room. He is at peace now, with no more pain. God has assigned him a place within his Heavenly Gates, and his entry is well earned. All of his merits here on Earth, with the acceptance of Christ as his Saviour, will have him above the provider/gatekeeper he was here.
Kevin be blessed you had a strong example provided for you, as your paternal duties continue through your beautiful little ladies, Alika and Sariah.
My cousin, we love you dearly, and will be here for you as we continue to keep you all lifted with prayers.

With Love and Sincere Care

So sorry for your lost, I've known Ron for over twenty years I knew him when he worked for Sentara and I got to know him outside of work. But lost touch over the years,he was so funny,and a sharp dresser. May God be with you during these times.

May your hand be ready to help me
for I have chosen your precepts
I long for your salvation, O Lord
