I remember our youth growing up as we traveled from Phila. to spend time with the family in Greenville, NC. They were joyful days. My deepest sympathy to Lil Bruh's (as he was affectionately known) family and especially to Dean, Daisy Mae and Barbara Ann. Our family is sending prayers for peace and comfort. May God bless and keep you in his grace. Much love.
