Poochie was one of the most loving people I've had the privilege of knowing( my nephew). He always had a smile on his face, no matter the circumstance, and he was a constant reminder of how important it is to spread joy and kindness. I remember so many moments when he would approach me with that warm smile, asking how I was doing and how my boys were. His kindness was never a surprise—it was simply who he was. I'll never forget how he would call me to ask for the Bible study link so he could join Pastor Corey Tobias. Poochie's faith was unwavering, and his love for the Lord was evident in all that he did. Though we are saddened by his passing, we take comfort knowing that he is in a better place, walking with the Lord he loved so dearly. There were times when we would all hang out together, laughing, sharing stories, and showing the love we have for one another as a family. Those memories will remain in my heart forever. Though Poochie is no longer with us physically, his spirit and his love for his family will continue to inspire and comfort us. We all loved Poochie deeply, but we can find peace in knowing that God loves him even more. Heaven has truly gained an angel. To my family, I encourage you to be strong and hold tight to the beautiful memories we shared with Poochie. We will meet again, and until that day, we carry him with us in our hearts. With all my love, Auntie Cale
