Terrie J Stinson

Praying for and sending condolences to the families. My heart are aching and I'm so down trodden about the loss of my first cousin as I affectionately called him Bear Lack. These tears won't let me write 😭.We grew up together like sisters and brothers, walked to Sunday school together every Sunday, came back up grandma and had a field day playing hop scotch, jump rope, hiding go seek, booger bear, jumped string board, made tom boy walkers and sat together and put together thousands of pieces of puzzles with Trena. Not to mention getting whippings together πŸ˜ƒ,going around the fields to pick plums, peaches and black berries those were the good ole days.We done had some good ones, we've been through storms and tornadoes, around the mountains and still made it back safely,Just kidding πŸ˜„. I'm going to miss you, I'm already missing you my Lil brother from another mother and I haven't had a dry eye and haven't stopped thinking about you since you passed away. Rest easy my Lil brother I love πŸ’• you and you knew that I would kill a rock about you. Rest Ezy Cuz.πŸ’” Deb and The Tyner Families, Beauregard AL
