Condolence to my Sister Joyce and family. Gail
Gonna miss you unk. You were the realist person on earth and you didn't bite your tongue for no one. We had the best conversations ever. Love you forever!
Uncle Meat one of the funniest people I know, you will be missed. We love you!! I'm glad I was able to see your face and talk you recently before you gained your wings. I know you're in a better place. Your jokes and laughter won't be forgotten!! Until we meet again Rest In Peace ❤️🙏🏾
I did not know Anthony until he and Joyce became my neighbors at Kennersly Close. He was a gift to the whole neighborhood—always smiling, cheerful, and usually the first to greet and welcome any newcomers to our townhouse community and quick to lend a hand when needed. He will be missed. Rest in peace, Anthony.
My condolences go out to the family. Rest in peace.
I'm going to miss "Po Boy"! Every since Carlos and I were kids,anytime I encountered his dad he was always joyful and in good spirit! Im sure he's at peace and watching over his family for eternity.
To Joyce and the entire Grimes family. It is with sadness that I extend my sincere condolences to you all in this loss of Meat. He was a joy to know as extended family. May God's Grace sustain you in your healing. Please know that God sees your heart and he will carry you through. The Lord is our shepherd and he knows what's best for us. Stay encouraged in the Lord. Love you all. Julia Harris Abrams (Peaches sister)
To my sister and the Grimes Family you all have my deepest sympathy for the loss of your love one. One thing about Meat he didn't meet any strangers he will be missed but not forgotten.
Sending our sincere and heartfelt condolences to Joyce and the Grimes family. Meat was more like family instead of a friend. He was always the life of the party with his Po-Boy rap. Now you're resting peacefully with God. There's no better place to be. God bless.
To my favorite cousin, my buddy, you were my brother more than a cousin. We had so much fun growing up together. We were so close as a kid and a close family. I will miss you but now you are with our Lord and your parents. Thank you for being my friend. I love you so much and always. I will see you again at that blessed day. To the God of all comfort and grace to his family. Peace be still! With all my love forever, Alice ❤️
May you find comfort in the love and support of those around you. My deepest condolences goes to you and your family. ~ Mr. And Mrs. Thomas
