Uncle John....I must say I have known you all my life and you have been just that, my Uncle John. Did we have a close relationship, not so much. But, every time I saw you, you gonna say what you gonna say (several laughs) and then you would say, "I love you niece". You always asked my mother how are my nieces (Fonda & myself) doing and that was just enough. We are going to miss you. We will always love you and embrace sweet memories. Rest Well, Uncle John.
To the family our heart condolences for the loss of your love one. May God comfort your family and strengthen you all at this time. We are keeping you in our prayers. Love you all.
Unk, I'm going Miss you so much. It doesn't feel right to be writing this tribute. You told me when Dad Fox left me, you would have my back you would be here for me. For the most part you keep your word with me. You were my go-to person. You put my floors down in my house and now it's not coming up. You would ride by and see me in the yard and stop and help me and say, "Niece just call me when you need this stuff done." I'm going miss our talks and the laughs. I'm hurt by you leaving me and I don't know how to feel right now. I'm not ready but Grandma Alice has her baby boy, Aunt Brenda has her brother and lil Dee has his Daddy, save me a spot in Heaven Love you 4ever Yita Brooks
