Adding The Violent Flame In Your Honor!!! Sorry I Am Just Finding Out About Your Transition, I Love 💕 And Miss You And Our Talks, I Can Still Hear Your Voice!!! E
We never knew one another but I was fond of your dad's story tracing his family history. I was just curious to see what had become of your life and I am sorry that a few years back you left your family and this world. I read nice things about you above. I am glad you touched others lives in such a positive way. May you rest in peace.... S.C.G.
I feel so fortunate to have known you, I got to meet you in New York City through a close mutual friend, and it was like we knew each other in another lifetime. The last time we spoke on the phone we laughed and were looking forward to your return to New York. I am so blessed and honored to share time with you of which you were so generous. Hugs and Deep Love to everyone you touched in your life. Peace be with you. Bryan M.

From the day we first met, and everyday since,knowing you was one of the best gifts in life. From the 6 year old little boy who left his Pillow in the hotel and cried and cried until we could get it back, to the man who you witnessed get married on the beaches of the Outer Banks,and all of our many adventures in between. You've always been there to share in my major life events, to lend a caring ear to my daily struggles and setbacks. I know you were always in my corner, cheering me on, and bragging about your Junebug. Your optimism, spirituality,generosity and life attitude have shaped me to be the man I am today. That is to say I'm a better man, father, son, and overall better human being thanks to you. I will always cherish our memories fondly. I'm truly thankful we were able to speak to one another one last time that Wednesday, and you were able to talk to little P and even little Aggie. If only I knew that was our last good bye, I would've said so many more things I would've asked all of the questions, I would've flooded you with picture after picture. But I know what you're thinking, it wasn't our last goodbye... It was just our last goodbye for a while. And I know you will always be watching over me, and the rest of the family and friends guiding through me for me. ... And yes, I'll be sure to pick up a lottery ticket here and there. Thank you.
I remember the long talks that I and Anne had while I did her hair. I really looked forward to seeing her because she always brought joy with her. I can hear her voice now as she shared her life's stories with me. I love her so much. May God bless her family. Adella Hill
