May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

To My Dude:
I truly miss u but i will always remember our precious memories we shared before u passed. God gave us a second chance and the both of us took advantage of that we were able to forgive and move on to the future. The past ten months were great and I going to miss taking you places and u would say look out Richard Petty is on the way..But in my heart and mind I will always hear these words: Dude I love you and you would say uhuh.I will always remember that you said you loved me...

Day, I'm so proud of you for holding your head up and being the woman that God chose you to be! As we know you did all that you could do but God made the best decision at the end. Continue to do what you are doing and know that I am always here for you no matter what. As we both know through all the ups and downs God is always...

Tommy and I were very sad to hear of Black's passing. Its been over a year since we saw Black. Didn't know he was sick and had passed. If their is anything we can do for you or your family, please don't hesitate to let me know. We were always so fond of you and Black and we will miss him dearly. We are deeply saddened that we were not with you during this time.
God bless and keep you in his loving arms. [email protected]
