Uncle!!!!!!! Hey man, what´s going on?!?!?! I can´t believe we´re at another year of your passing...I really do still seem so surreal. How´s everyone doing up there???? We miss you all so much. We understand that y´all are watching from the heavens but we really miss the physical presence. We´ve been holding Deanie down, as we know it may be a bit lonely for her at times. I´ve even been cooking lol. I know you see what happened to Butchie. Thank you all for keeping him down here a little longer because I can only imagine how Deanie would have taken that. He´s gonna be alright, I´m pretty sure of it. I know my mom is laughing at me raising 4 boys. Who would have thought lol. I hope I´m making her proud; all of you proud for that matter. I am just doing my best so if you all have any spiritual tips to help along away please do. Zaiden´s athlete (keep him covered and make sure he goes all the way, we deserve it!!)
Peanut reminds us of YOU!!! So you know you gotta protect him lol. Zaire, keep him safe and Carter, just keep him smiling. I love y´all sooooo much and can´t wait to have a great dream with you all in it.

Love you with all my heart

Hey uncle!!!!!
I miss you soooo much. I pray that your soul is at peace; and that you are dancing with the Lord literally. I know the family is with you and you all are watching over us. I pray that we keep you all happy and proud with the decisions we´ve been making. As y´all can see, we be trying to keep the BBQ´s going just how y´all would have remembered them. Can you believe Butchy retired on the grill???? He passed the torch to Nick lol. Zaniyah is now in charge of the DJ´ing. We now just get to sit back and eat lol. I know y´all are missing Big Dean but I ask that y´all just let her stay with us for a while, she´s literally all we have left. Keep her strong, healthy and sane. I don´t think my heart could take her leaving any time soon. Listen, I love you; hug and kiss my momma, uncle Jim and my grandparents
Your loving niece

Hey uncle Al ❤
Time is just moving so fast. I look up and its almost been 10 years . Of course I miss you, you were the personality to the family. Cookouts and gatherings just havent been the same since your departure. I try to keep the memories going as you so loved. I hope you are happy with how things are going. You now have all of your family aside from big sis Deanie lol. Please dont come for her just yet. I need to hold on to her for a little while longer; I cant be completely alone right now. But anyway look at what all is happening. A pandemic???? This is just insane. Can you ask God to keep us all safe? He has thus far but I mean until this is all over just keep the family safe. And the killings; so sad it just is so unfair. Well I dont want to hold you up I just wanted to holler at you. Please keep watching over me. Kiss my mom & tell her I love and miss her so much. Tell uncle Jim I said whats up and that Jay is doing so good . And for my beautiful grandparents tell em I wish I had more time with them and that I love them too.

Till next time unc

Hey uncle Alan, I would have never thought in a million years that I would be signing your guest book because you are no longer here with us. I can honestly say that I was one of the many people that believed you would always be here. Although I am saddened by your sudden lost, I smile at the thought of knowing that you are now my angel, and will protect me until my dying day. I can here you now saying "baby girl, you know I got you" with that beautiful smile you possessed.
On Earth, you would always say you were proud of me, and I believed you. I just hope I can continue to do the same for you in the Heavens. I love you uncle Al....by the way, you are looking sharp in your picture.....lol

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.
