I knew him from the daycare. I´m from New Hope Baptist church. I wish I had known when his service was, I definitely would have been there! He was a precious soul, so kind and loving. Had a great laugh! I can´t believe he´s gone! But I praise God, he´s in heaven with his Saviour! Oh my, he will be missed so much. Won´t be the same without him. I truly loved him. Praying for you all, Gods great mercy, blessings and comfort! If there´s anything I can do, you can get me through New Hope of Gaffney! My heart breaks - I´m so very sorry for you all...but celebrating for him, knowing where he is, amen! Love to you all!
The pic below is so you´ll all know who I am. Love y´all.
