Rahiem was like a father to me . My mother , La'Nita and I are still grieving this great loss. He was so Real and he never judged . Rahiem had his own battles , but one thing is for sure - he knew the value of hard work and the importance of family . If he had it , then you had it and that is just the way it was . I loved him so much and I know that he is with God so I will see him again .

To My Family, I wish I could be there, but I'm under the weather. However, Remember that earth has no sorrow that Heaven Cannot Heal. MAY THE Peace of God comfort your hearts. Michael came to live with us and he remained in the "Down South" as he grew up here and flourished. We All Love Him, but God Loves him Best. I love You All. Love one another more, and not because of this occasion, love because WE ARE FAMILY! God Bless I Love You All. First Cousin, Terrence Graves, Itta Bena, Mississippi
