Arthur, you will truly be missed by us all, but never forgotten!!! I can remember those Snowden Jr. High days like yesterday, when you were always excited about those football game days. I can remember those good times when me, you, and Jerrica would check and laugh at one another( 6th grade). I will never forget the wonderful times we shared as being the last 8th grade class to graduate from Snowden!!! I will miss that wonderful and cheerful personality you always had. May you rest in peace and be assured that you are in the most highest place that we all want to be a part of "HEAVEN"!!!! To the family, may your healing begin, and know that GOD only takes the best! :-)
