To LaRhonda (Lasia's "G-Mom"), Ja'Irah, Ja'Irah's Mommy, Eric G, and the rest of Six's Large and Loving Family:

I just recently got to meet Six, but had heard so much about him that I always felt I knew him. When I did finally meet him in person (just in the last six months) I learned he was considered "Uncle" Six to my baby girl, Myhlasia, and found him to be very much worthy of the title. I am so saddened to hear of his passing, and send you all my deepest sympathy.

Six will definitely be missed from all who knew him, especially my little one who intermittently sheds tears when she remembers her "Uncle" Six.

It warms my heart to know that she will be able to continue to interact with her bestie, Ja'Irah. I found Ja'Irah to be such a warm, loving, and well-behaved child. That is a big testament of the love that came from her Daddy and Mommy whom she spoke of often while we were on our horseback outting just a week before this tragic accident.

My prayers are with you all. I know this cannot be easy as he was one of the great ones.

Lasia and Ja'Irah waiting to mount their horse --- happy times for Six's baby girl.

Myhlasia Bradley Goodman

Dear Ja'Irah I miss you while I am on my vacatation with my Mom. I'll be back to Tennessee at the end of July. And maybe if your mom will let you come over we might play smallworlds on the computer to keep you from missing your daddy so much. I will see you soon to give you a great big hug! I miss my Uncle Six too, and cried when i got the news. I am glad your dadday let you go to the stables with me for my birthday. I hope we can go again when i get back. I put the photo of our ride in here to help you remember happy times and smile.
