Condolences to the Young family. I feel so honored to have considered TY a friend all these years even though we kind of loss contact over the years. He always knew how to lift your spirits when you were down in the dumps.I still can remember the smell of his cologne " Jade East " which I remember asking if he would mind if I got some for my hubby to wear. I consider myself very fortunate to have crossed paths with him those many years ago.

Family,
May God comfort you all during your hour of bereavement.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome...

May you "SLEEP IN PEACE" and when you awake behind the PEARLY GATES, watch over us and SMILE....
