Grandpa,

You were always teaching me so many things about life and manhood.. You made it a point to know you can be a strong man and still show a deep passionate love for your family. You were my grandfather, my teacher and my very best friend. I will always cherish the time that we shared together. Thank you for living the life that you preached. It's because of you that I am a better man. I love you deeply.

Uncle Buddy:

I says this with sincerity you were truly a buddy to me. After Gert Dear left I thought that was it. You ensure me that you loved each and every one of us in a special way. You made sure to come on my job just to see how lette, Ann, Will and Booboo were during. I will miss our long talks and laughter when we had our moments. You instill in all of us who was a part of your life that you can do anything you put your mind to. I am going to miss you dearly, life doesn't seem the same without you. You can depend on me to never let our family forget how important family were to you. I thank GOD for the years he allow you to live and the relationship you build with not just your kids but your great nieces and nephews.

Rest in Peace Job well done, Until we meet again,


LOVE YOUR NUMBER ONE NEICE
