J.R., I am so happy your struggle is over. You have given me so many good memories. When I'd visit the Sherwood-Carrolls you'd often be there and we 'kicked it' back and forth. You always went the 'mile' to continue what was being said. I LOVE you, J.R. You often cameto my AID...and you probably didn't know that...until now.

You were and will allways be my adopted brother. Words could never express how much I care. Thanks for all you did for me. Until we meet again I will never say goodbye.

"Touch Someone's life"
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go, be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. Always put yourself in others' shoes, if you feel that it hurts you it probably hurts the other person too. The happiest of all people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches. When you were born you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you crying.
