To my Uncle Lawrence Aunty Delores, Shonda, Toe, and Willie(Junior). I love you all. Still hard to believe Chris gone. No one knows the pain of losing a love one until they go throught it. What gets me through the days without my mother being here is thinking about all the laughs we shared. I remember Chris and I were at the fair when we were kids. The guy that sits in the water tank was trying to jone on my friend. Chris purchased three balls and slammed him right into the water then did this silly dance while. That was Chris always the gentleman.As I cry that memory and many more make me remember him and smile. Cousin I miss you and love you very much. God Bless
