After going to the funeral I know Junior even more. What a lovely family he has and tears fell because all are going to miss what a BIG heart Junior had. I am grateful for having the opportunity to be part of Junior's life celebration and will continue to hold up Junior's family and friends in prayer and to cherish who Junior was and is!! God Bless those and wipe their tears away and give them peace and let them feel Junior's love!! In Jesus precious name...Amen! We love you Junior and "we will get up and continue with our head held high knowing how blessed we were to have had you in our lives" and "WE CAN" and won't give up!!!
