Dear Anita and Family: My deepest condolences on the passing of Conrad. He was a wonderful man, a "Sharp Dressed Man." I remember when I marched in my 1st Parade, Oshun and I was really nervous. He said, "just be yourself and dance like there is no tomorrow." My prayers are with you always... Love Feni

Conrad, you had the voice of an Angel and a great devotion to your Lord and Faith. You inspired me with your steadfast love of God, Family, and Community. Mardi Gras will not be the same without your infectious joy and happiness. You were and are truly a great man and friend. Rest in Peace and watch over us. Anita, watching you, Conrad, and Nick at Mater Dolorosa was always an inspiration of what a Holy Family should look like. You all set an example for others. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very difficult time. Conrad is at peace now with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Conrad and Father John will forever be in our hearts. The next time you see a bright and beautiful sunrise, know that it is Conrad smiling down on us.

Anita, love you may God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I'm going to miss Conrad being the 1st person to arrive at the voting polls every elections. I sat in the back corner and he would always come find me and greet me with a loud, warm and enthusiastic "Heyyy Good morning Tinaaa!" Lol, Conrad, its 6:00am!!!
