To my cousins; Telee, Teresa & Melba,
Just know that I am here for you as you were for me. Continue to hold on to the wonderful, crazy memories and the love he has for each of you. He loved his folks back home and loved people. He made himself available for our baby girl when she attended U of H as well. He is a rare breed! They truly broke the mold when they made him. Praise God, he gets to be on a Spiritual high 24/7!!

I will always miss your smiling face greeting me & saying you wish you had my $. I know you are with God. Many times I would stop by the shop to check on everyone or get my hair cut by you any way I wanted no? '$ asked. Then I would ask you the? Why are you here? It's Sunday? Your response ...Ethel, my family needs me everyday and if they act a fool & ask me for it,they are gpnna get it. I always told you, how you reminded me of my dad the way you spoiled your wife and kids. I pray God's strength on the ROLAND "S. EVEN though it won't be the same without you,your spirit will remain in CURRENT CUTS. You're just running it in a different way. Many times I heard you talk about God and I would tell you it's offering time. So to be absent in the body is to be present with the LORD.
