To my cousin, may you rest in heavenly peace I thank God for giving me an opportunity to know you in this life I will always remember the fun we had growing up and the time you took me out to uncle Jimmy house you said come on do you want to see something And we saw pigs and chickens and it was the first time I saw a chicken get his head cut off. He actually got up and ran, and it was chasing me and I was scared to death. But I know you love to laugh to make people laugh. I have no words right now, but I love you and your family. We all our family growing up in Mesic North Carolina to the family. God bless. Love you all. I pray he will give you peace and I was glad to know that boogie no the Lord sorry I can't be there right now, but my heart and spirit is with you. I will have a moment of silence on that day time of burial God bless.
