My big cousin! For as long as I´ve known you, your faith has sustained you. Although I haven't seen you in years, I remember how tall you stood in front of the Philadelphia Baptist Church congregation. You are now resting among your Littlejohn ancestry. We love and miss you all, big cuz!

p.s.
Tell Richard Pryor, I mean Horace hello for me. Rest In Peace! I love you!
