Yoland, Eriq, Yvonne, Pee-Wee, Mrs Brown. My heart cries out today for the lost of my little man. EJ been a part of my llife since he was born. You all know how I feel about EJ. When you are all alone and nobody to talk with remember there is a God that look low and wraps his arms around his children. For we may not know the reason why but in do time we will all see one another one day and EJ will be waiting with his arms open wide to receive us with that great smile of his. Keep your chain up and don't be sad just know that it is in the master hands and he loved you all very much. Keep all the good memories alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love Auntie Lucille, Uncle Brad, cousins Isaiah, Joseph, Audreyrose

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
