Not sure what to say?

To the immediate family,extened family and friends,continue to keep your trust and faith in the Lord and He will see you thru these difficult times. Boo was a good friend of mine.

Maxine and family,
My prayers are with you and the family during this time. I still remember the good times that I had with you and Boo.

Daddy I love you so much. I could not have asked for a better father. You were always there for Precious and Deana. So many times you have rescued me from situations. Daddy I know you're in a better place now and your pain free. You are the strongest man I've known for 57 years. You battled with sickle cell and you never let it hold you back or use it for an excuse. Daddy the girls and I are so proud of you and I know oneday we will meet in heaven or whatever is in the afterlife. we will...

Raymond Prather,
You touched the lives of so many. Showing each of us what strength and courage is about. In times of pain, your spirit was strong, filled with the determination to continue. Never complaining just taking each day one day at a time. Then came the day when God called you home.
Your footprints are in the hearts of those blessed to know you. Your love will always be remembered. You have Deana singing Michael Jackson's "Man in the Mirror", she says, "that is...

To Boo,

With heavy heart and peaceful memories, I often think of the day at Grandmother's house, when you and I was there looking at Television, and Aunt Florence your Grandmother came down stairs and President Eishower was on, and Aunt Florence said I just love him, Delight(Dwight) Eishower, and you and I just laughed so hard, that Aunt Florence got mad, silly children she said, anyone can make a mistake, from that day on, everytime we would see each other, we would just laugh...

Although I met him only on a few occasions, he always struck me as a very gentle person, who loved his grandchildren, you could see it in his eyes. To Nicole Maxine, Precious, De De and your family please accept my condolences. He will most surely be missed.

These moments are very difficult and words never do justice to the light that is extinguished, but you do find the inner strength to go on. It is the strength of the laughter you shared, the good times and the learning times,...

My heart is very sad, you are on my mind day and night,because I could not help you in your final battle in life; little brother its best that God won this one. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS until we meet again. P

To Boo

In the 1940’s a chain was forged with a band of brothers known to all as Micky, Paul and Boo. Fifty years has since past during this passing of time there has been many trials and tribulations.

However yours has been the worse with sickness and health. I have felt your pains and worries and I can only hope that you thought of me as a good brother. The bond of brotherly love was always strong if only in hearts and minds. Distance and non-visual still could...

Mr.Prather
