This is a tough one... We go way back to middle school days! Funny how we couldn't stand each other when we first met but then ended up being closer than blood siblings. You were such a great Uncle to my son when he was little. When I left Gadsden, over the years we lost touch but if you were even on E. Broad when I was in town and rode by, I'd hear "SIS!" and I knew it was you. I'm sorry I didn't get to know your family but I do remember Fuzz. I love you, lil bro. And, I pray that your family find peace and comfort during this difficult time. Always your sister, LaSondra.
