Thank you Uncle Robert for reaching out to me in being a friend in times of need. No one asked you to do these things, but you did them anyway. And for that I am grateful. Thank you for showing me my roots, in family and in self. May your good works follow you in the here-after.

May Your Good Works Follow You Forever!

As a neighbor, Mr. Byas was a caring, sincere and cheerful person who assisted and encouraged others in his lifetime. It was funny, after he left the neighborhood how much we missed him with his smiles and waving his hands to say, "Hello". To the family, may you continue to love each other and let God shine his blessings on you.

To the Byas Family....
Mr. Byas made a lasting expression on everyone he met. I remember him as being a next door neighbor back in the day on Anthony Road and a close friend of the family. At this time of sorrow, I encourage you all to look to the Hills...
Sincerely and with the warmest regards,
