The news was so heart broken when I received it about "Bass". I was a good friend of Bass in Atlanta, ga. he was more like a brother. I met him through my brothers and every time Bass had a delivery in Atlanta he would stop by to see us. We was always called country because of the way we talk. We would joke for hours about each other language. Family be strong. God is watching over you all. Bass is in a better place and will will be truly missed. God Bless.

Tee

Words can't express the pain that I am feeling right now, but even though we all loved you God loved you best. I know that God has a special assignment for you in heaven but it still doesnt ease the pain. I am going to miss all the times we talked and joked on each other the most, now I dont have anyone else to kid around with. I regret not telling you Thank You for all the advice that you have given me throughout the years, even when I didnt want to hear it. The times I would call you crying telling you all the things that were going on in my life and after I finished would have to sit and listen to you for hours about what I was doing wrong! You were just doing your job as a Big Brother. I know You, Nanny, Grandaddy, Uncle David and Beatrice are having a family reunion and I cant wait to join you all! I Love You so much and I am going to miss You! Tell everyone I said Hi and save a spot for me! LOVE ALWAYS AND FOREVER, UNTIL I GET THERE YOUR LIL SIS JENELLE!
