Not sure what to say?

Hey Chad, Sitting here thinking about you on the anniversary of the day you gained your wings. We were at "Grandma Helen´s house" on Sunday with Momma, laughing about how Nina kept sneaking you out of the crib when you were just an infant. We can only imagine what you were thinking and how she managed to get you out - Momma would just keep finding you in Nina´s arms. Carla and I were in school then. There was never any doubt - we loved our baby brother. I reminded everyone that you were...

I haven't, and never will forget Ure Earthlight. I always play some of Ure fans, and reminisce on the good times. Miss U sooooooooo much Twin!!! We had Our own jokes, and things that were just Us Bruh!!! Miss that sooooo much!!! Love U!!!

Hey Baby Brother, It´s hard to believe you would have been 53 this birthday. Even harder to believe that you´re not here with us. We can still hear your raspy voice and cherish the memories of your laugh. And yes, we still feel your love-every single day. Oh, how we treasure your children and grandchildren-your beautiful legacy. Happy Birthday. Rest easy, Baby Brother. Keep watching over us. We still need you. Your Middle Big Sister.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Daddy!

To all the days we were together To all the time we were apart Of each other's lives Heart to heart And so I had a late arrival So we never saw the start Of each other's lives Heart to heart Know it seems so quick and easy Sentimentally assumed Walking parallels Heart to heart To all the days we were together To all the time we played a part In each other's lives Heart to heart

I miss you for so many reasons and needed you for so many things.

June 18, 2024 Yesterday was Father´s Day, Happy Belated! You were on my mind heavy. Blessed to have known you and blessed to have had at least one father figure in my life who was amazing. I think About you a lot when I´m working with my new job. I get a lot of ptsd honestly, but I try To do right by you, and help the people I can. I hope I make You proud. Niesha, Tahnee, and Kemp are doing amazing. You would be so proud of them. I promise To protect and love them always.

4-10-72, God released you to this world, and you left an impression that could never be erased. Thank you sending us all gentle reminders of you. For my mom, it´s butterflies, for me, it´s big bloomed sunflowers or hearing your sweet, raspy laugh. We´re all still hanging in there. It has never been the same without you, but I know we all wait anxiously for the day we get to see you again. I´m so proud that you gave your life back to Christ. It means we´ll be reunited again. Love you beyond...

I have been trying, but it still stings. I miss U so much!!! April 10th will always be a special day for me. It's the day My brother from another mother was born. Love U, and miss U!!! P.s. I am going to get my No Dogg hopefully this month. But only if Ure twin can do it fi me. Hint Hint Nie!!!
