Yo Bud I'm going to miss u bro and until we meet again
My sympathy goes out to the whole family. I truly know what you all are going through right now, as I too have lost my Pappa-Dearest last year in October.
Spending time with GOD, giving time, prayer, and being around people that will help you grow spiritually in JESUS CHRIST will get you through the difficult times and put you at ease. Know that GOD will never leave you all nor forsaken you. Please lend on GOD and things will get better.
Love always,
