Another year without you and your shenanigans. I miss it all. High and low. Good and bad. You would always say, that you would never be forgotten. And you are right, you won´t. Your kids are growing up so beautiful. You should be proud of all of them. You left behind a huge legacy. Just wanted to let you know that we all miss you. Xoxo

“Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning.”
Psalm 30:5 NLT
Family, let us seek God even in our time of grief and sadness. Let us cling to His promise that joy will come in the morning. Let us believe that God is indeed with us in our suffering and that He longs to restore our joy in Him.
I am so grateful for the time and chats shared with “Boogie”. I am exceedingly grateful to know the love he had for his children and for God.
Sorely missed. Deeply loved. Always remembered.

You are loved by many. Me, kids, siblings; and friends. Your heart was big and you cared for a lot of people. You helped me learn a lot and you also brought me close to God. You knew that book like you was in church everyday. I will never forget you and will always have love in my heart for you.
XOXO Your Loving Wife,
Schenell Patterson
