Arthur, I am still at a lost for words.... when I was at work last night and saw someone with a shirt with your picture on it I actually was looking to see what you accomplished. Thinking you had started something new and when I read the words REST IN PEACE I broke down.... you were such a humble and funny person. My fundest memory of you is when I would try to get you to take a shot and you would always say (you know I dont want them watered down shots) And then you would turn right around and tell me to pour you two shots in your cup. I am very disappointed to learn that you lost your life in this tragic way but content to know that you are in a better place. To Arthur's family you ALL are in my prayers and may god be with you all to let you know and understand that he has everything in control. Arthur may you REST IN PARADISE............

When the clouds part and a ray of sun shines through
We look to the sky; and think of you.

You see our tears and feel our ache
We breathe you in with each breath we take

There is no need to miss, what is not gone
For you are right here, where you belong

You are the suns warmth on our face
Guiding us through this dark place

You are the whisper of the wind through the night.
That gentle sparkle in a stars light

You are the colours of the rainbow after a summers rain
Dazzling, vivid colour,s nothing could ever tame

You are the elegance found after a first snow
That small, beautiful,blinding glow

You made your own path from the start
And we continue to carry your footprints on our heart

When we stop to think of all we miss
Look around and think of this

Something so special & rare could never fade
& That is how we know you stayed

Because when the clouds part and that ray of sun shines through
We will smile, knowing that glimmer is you.

To the Andrews family I sympathy and heart goes out to you. Fat Daddy was my classmate from 93-96 at Carver High. Fat Daddy I remember him always telling a joking or making funny of the teachers there. From the class of 1996 he will truly be missed by all. When u feel like this over just lean on God he will see through this dark time. Remember Fat Daddy is with his Heavenly Father not in any pain or suffering. God wanted Arthur with him at his side. I know it is not to cry but remeber this is a celebration of his beautiful life that was feel with joy.
