To the Family: May you find peace in knowing that God saw Skip's (my cousin) pain and surrounded him with family and much love.I remember us all being together at Grandma Vi and Granddaddy's house at Christmas as children playing in the back rooms. May God replace the pain in your heart with the joy Skip brought through the years. Love Always.

May the love of family and friends carry you through your grief. Skip's smile will be truly missed. Thanks to the Lightfoot family for "adopting" me while I was attending VCU; allowing me to be apart of your family. God Bless!

This is to my cousin Skip: "I wont be at your funeral because you wont be at mine. It's not a payback, it's just because I am working towards that journey you soured into on September 4th, 2010. I am looking forward to meeting your spirit again in another place so you stay watch over me man, and don't let nobody bully over me either. You got maad powers now and so I'm gonna walk with my head up high because I know you'll be peeking in on me every now and then. Enjoy your new life and may His peace be with us all left here behind til we meet again. Love you man!
To my Aunt, Uncle, Skip's children, and my cousins: May God rest in your hearts always, and may He keep you at peace.
Nephew /Cousin Willie Gee
