First of all, my Sincerest Comdolences to the Draughon Family, Friends and Acquaintances on the loss of my Dear Cousin Junior. Yesterday, April 2nd was Good Friday and it also would have been Juniorâ??s 76th Revolution around the Sun. Every year I used to call my Cousin on his Birthday to wish him well and every year I would always remind him, â??So Junior, You Know You Were Only One Day Shy Of Being Born A Fool.â?? Then we would both enjoy a good laugh and then just talk. I pray that in Your Everafter there is no Pain and no Suffering and that Love is As Abundant as the Air We Breathe. Rest In Paradise Cousin Junior.
