It saddens me to hear the news of your passing. I think about our middle school and our Edgewater high School years. We were football teammates and we were brothers. I am praying for your beautiful mother, father, brother and your sister.
I love you my brother.
May God bless your soul.

Remember Me: Speak of me as you have always done. Remember the good times laughter and fun .Share the happy memories we've made .Do not let them wither or fade. I'll be with you in the summer's sun .And when the winter's chill has come. I'll be the voice that whisper in the breeze. I'm peaceful now put your mind at ease. I've rested my eyes and gone to sleep. But memories we've shared are yours to keep. Sometimes our final days may be test. But remember me when I was at my best. Although things may not be the same .Don't be afraid to use my name. Let your sorrow last for just a while. Comfort each other and try to smile. I've lived a life filled with joy and fun. Live on now make me proud of what you'll become

Lin j.. words cant express the love I have for you... It will never be the same without you.. it's like you Alex tremayne Battle and pauletta were the 5 amigos... my niece and nephews. whenever pauletta would say"im hanging with my brothers " I knew there was no need to worry because you all had each others backs no matter what.. when I got that call my world stopped and I had to regroup cause I knew it wasn't true... but it was. I'm going to miss you.. DJ is heart broken.. you mentored him with just a few words. Words that he will carry throughout life.
To the family. . I know it's hard but God makes no mistakes. He was ready for Lin j his assignments on this side were completed and completed with excellence. He was one of a kind. A true king.. a heart of gold with a personality to match. All that's left are memories that will be held close. Weeping may endure for a moment but joy will come. I love you all.... love
Auntie Precious.
