Not sure what to say?

Missing you Brother, But I Know You Are No Longer In Any Pain. I Know You Are In The Arms Of Our Heavenly Father.
Love You And Thanks For Your Love ❤

Don't forget that the present is a gift, God only knows another day here isn't guaranteed. Rest in Peace

Anthony “Yaya” was a true friend indeed. I met him back in 2007 where we became good friends. If you were ever in his presence, he sure had a way of making you laugh and had a smile out this world. During my last talk with him, we did just that-laughed- and fellowshipped about the goodness of God. The entire family has my sincere condolences and prayers.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

You stayed strong until the end. You were not only my cousin but a good friend also. It's gonna be diff without you here but I know your not in anymore pain. I thank God for the moments we shared and I will always keep the final words you told me close to heart which was ( I love you and keep it between the ditches ) ... R.I.P my friend until we meet again fly high!!

RIP my friend!
