It is our prayer that Mr. Cotton's family will find peace in this difficult time and know that Mr. Cotton was a wise man who we thought was a neighborhood staple NEVER to be forgotten. We saw his generosity in helping those less fortunate than himself by giving people a hand up instead of a hand out by offering odd jobs that he definitely could have managed himself even just several years ago....He Loved working in the yard....Even in an area of the city where people tend to not care as much about their surroundings...he showed that it didn't matter the street you lived on but the pride you took in living. It was a pleasure to know him and to see his example. May God richly Bless and Keep you all!
