Ms. McCray-Jones, you and your family have my deepest sympathy with respect to the recent loss of your Dad, and you and your family will forever be in my fervent prayers. Ms. McCray-Jones, as I mentioned to you when we last spoke "you my dear heart are indeed the Greatest Daughter that any Father would be absolutely honored to have" - You have "served", and "attended" to the personal matters of the Lord with a diligence like no other. Ms. McCray-Jones, you have endured tremendously as your Dads' primary caregiver, and you have done so with incredible unconditional love, grace, humility, honor, class, and joy. Ms. McCray-Jones, you are a stellar beacon of light to your family, and all of those who have been blessed with the distinct opportunity and pleasure to be in your direct company. Ms. McCray-Jones, I will remain eternally grateful to God for allowing our paths to cross along this glorious journey. Remember Ms. McCray-Jones, when you need my assistance I am available to you.

My heart and prayers go out to the family! For the short time I have gotten to know a great and wonder man/person/human-being. I will always remember the excellent advice you have given me and will continue to follow your words of wisdom.
I am going to miss seeing the Beautiful Smile you had after receiving your haircut and shave, then I would tell you ,You're already to go out dancing and stepping which we both would laugh with great happiness and joy. One thing I know now you are dancing and stepping with your Beautiful wife with a fresh haircut and shave.
You weren't just a customer to me but a great inspiration and a friend. I will miss you dearly but I promise to never forget and what you shared with me about life.

Rest In Peace
