Not sure what to say?

If only I knew, we where both fighting for Our Mother's Loving and Peaceful last Days...So much was going on in Our own lives..I truly missed and love you. We just like our Dad private But always family... I really feel like I should have known but Loosing Our Mother's a year apart on the Same day..Tore me down over and over again.
God bless you Brother I appreciate your Great guardianship and love.
So much I can say but God has been the driving force in Our life I KNOW YOU WITH...

Arnold and I went to school together and I can't remember when we met but we were both in the class of 1975 he was so friendly and that smile you knew that he had love in his heart for his fellow man we had a great relationship together we always congregated and told a joke or two to each other he was very bright very smart very respectful; to the family Earth has no sorrow that Heaven can't heal and to Arnold my beloved brother I will see you again one day in heaven when Jesus comes back to...

I'm going to miss him so very much. He was the sweetest most generous person I have ever met. We were like siblings and may have been related. His mom and my dad had the same last name...Wilkins. They may have been related. We always had the best of times together ❤

My condolences to the family. I fondly remember Arnold from my Marching Pirate and CC building days at Hampton Institute. May he rest in peace.

Arnold, my long time friend, fraternity brother!
You will be greatly missed by so many people; especially ME! I will treasure our friendship Always! We shared many memories of laughter, tears and secrets over 40 years! Thanks for embracing me as one of your closest friends and godfather to my son, LeAnder! You worked hard to make him a HU Pirate, but he followed in his father’s footsteps instead and became an AGGIE! AGGIE PRIDE!!!
Also, You and your mother welcomed me into...

Respectfully, just wanted to point out that Arnold graduated from Warwick H.S., not Huntington. We were in classes together and worked on various clubs & committees. I was so looking forward to reconnecting with Arnold at our 50-year reunion later this year – he will certainly be missed! ❤

My dear friend Arnold, I will always remember you. Our history go back to Abredeen Elementary School before you moved to Newport News. Yes you were a Granger Court Man. We also were participants in Hampton University under the direction of Dean Hawkins together. The last time we spoke was January 10th. You fought hard and long. I always enjoyed our conversation and your listening ear. I already miss you. Thank you for the many invites to Xmas and Thanksgiving dinner with you and your mom. RIP...

I will always remember your sense of humor & your good natured spirit! Thank you for your friendship & the inspiration that you shared. Rest well my brother.

I will always remember Mr. Bentley! I would love talking to him when he came to the Drs. office. Just hearing him talk about him mom and days of teaching music showed just how much of a great person he was, very comical and we always would "cut up" when he came in for his appointments. Fly high Mr. Bentley we'll miss you here at PCI!
