To Thurman Wife and to His mother,

You both know my sorry in hearing about the death of what I considered my son, and my Nephew for he has been in my life, home and heart for over twenty years. I will miss thurman so much that words cannot express my pain. James and myself has felt every bit of pain as you both have because he and Thurman have been brother's of soul since ten. God bless and keep you his daugter and family. I will forever miss him because he was my son in heart also. I did write a poem for how much I will miss him it is dedicated to you.

Heartache, have you no boundaries as you travel the regions of my heart,

without miss to torch my spirit into submission,

Have you no forgiveness.

Your agony as you lay heavy on my mind, lying on tears that try to find its release to let you go,

Why do you beat me down to step on my soul?

No release, you say, I'm here to stay,

With somber inwards and pain filled outlook,

you give no comfort in remises,

No happiness in gestures, only a weary mind.

Have you no forgiveness to let go of me, as you take the my heart, my soul and Love away from me.

Please find pity on the others whom heart you seek to break.
