I will never forget how he helped me and Mama when we first came to NJ. He was such a sweet soul, and fun to be around, I truly miss him. He had a heart of “GOLD” I am also going to miss him teasing me about getting married :-) I just cannot believe he is gone, but I know he is in a better place. I will keep you all in my...

Mr. Bannister

I miss coming to Bock and seeing you on the porch smacking
your head and you know what else you be doing on that porch.
It seems as if you were enjoying it so much. I think of the
good things you have done for me; you were good to me and gave
me money. And thank you for looking after my daughter.
You have been a friend to the end and I say it again. I miss
you very much.

WELL ANYWAY MOMMY IS GETTING BETTER BY THE DAY, IT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME BUT SHE'S IN GOOD HANDS WITH THE GIRLS ESPECIALLY AS LONG AS BIGFOOT THE MAN OF THE HOUSE IS AROUND...

Hey, Uncle John

I just want you to know how much you are going to be missed. I even miss they way you would ask me several times, "Who are you?" and I would say Vanessa, and you would say did you find a man yet?
I have to laugh because you always remembered I didn't have man, and come to think of it you were suppose to help me find one. But as soon as I find someone I will let you know. Love You.!!!

And to my family stay strong.
