I knew Alvin because he was my Pops' tightest homeboys, but i became friends with him because he was a good man and we shared a fondness for political debate. I hope the angel wings don't mess up the creases on your pendleton. You will be missed.

John 14:1-4 “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.”
