To the Tukes family,
I am sorry to hear about my friend. Just know that now he has gone to a place where his sight has been renewed and his health has been restored. Be strong family because you were very good to him during his sickness and that is what kept him going. I am going to miss my friend. I am sure he will find another barber that will cut just enough hair off for him. I hear they have the best there. :)

I would like to express my deepest condolences on the recent passing of your family member. I send my thoughts and prayers to you and your family at this very difficult time.
Although, I didnt know your stepdad Billy, I can tell by reading the obituary that he was a great man, a hardworker and truly a man of God.
With that being said,"Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace. Psalm 37:37.
*Please pass my deepest sympathy on to your mother, siblings, and the rest of the Tukes family.*

My prayers go to the family and loved ones of Mr. Jimmie Lee Tukes, I ask God to please give them the strength to get through this difficult time of losing such a wonderful person and remind them that he is now at peace in a much better place.
I had the priviledge of meeting and knowing Mr. Tukes by befriending his stepson Billy whom I've been close friends with since we were in the 7th grade.
I have visited the Tukes household countless times over the years and everytime, "JT" ,as Billy, my friends and I called him, always welcomed me with a smile, loving attitude, and friendly and often funny conversation. I am so thankful I was able to meet such a positive wonderful person.
Mr. Tukes is a shining example of a great person because of his positive personality,loving spirit, positive attiude, and dedication to God. May he rest in peace.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
