Not sure what to say?

Hello Boo, my other little brother!
Missing you and your smile running through the back yard to see Winfield. WOW, it's been 12 years since you went to your heavenly home. Since Cue arrived, I can spiritually see ya'll organizing a football game for the LORD! Isn't it wonderful that you don't need those earth bound knees to do so. I am immensely grateful to GOD that he allowed us to live in the same neighborhood, attend the same school, and impact the lives of others in our own ways. ...

Sidney with Thomas and Peggy

Dear Peggy and Sidney,
"Boo's" Uncle Sidney and I loved him. His uncle was so proud that Sidney has his name. On Saturdays, I especially enjoyed my phone calls with "Boo" explaining Tyrod,my great grandson's football games. "Boo" is truly missed by me and our family.

To Sidney, Carlyse, Archie and The Ford Family:

I knew "Boo" as far back as I can remember to Greenbriar Elementary on Maryland Ave in Dunbar Gardens where we grew up. Boo was two years older than me.

As a friend Boo always talked to me and give me advice. I always looked up to Boo, always respected him and wanted to be like him.

As a athlete Boo mentored me. I remember when he hurt his knee his senior year in high school. I have always asked myself what if?...

There are no words in the english language special enough to convey my sentiments for my "Uncle BOO". I have lost one of the pillars of which my foundation for manhood stands. It was my first trip to Alexandria where our legendary bond began. (You jus, HAD to be there!) "Pull my FINGER!!" Watching "Uncle BOO" showed me the importance of balance, talking to "Uncle BOO" showed me how to balance. I don't believe I EVER saw him upset, rattled or frustrated. The "Epitome of Cool" is what he IS....

To the Ford Family,
It been a year, however, it feel like today we got the shocking sad news of your Husband,Dad,Brother,Uncle,and our Friend!! We all miss you Boo!!
