Eslie B. Smith

To My Handsome, Kind, Loyal, And Gentle-Spirited Cousin! He never forgot his family. He connected with everyone that he could. And, he had a beautiful spirit. On his monthly visits to the VA, he would always visit my grandfather, Winston Pitchford and my mother, Dorothy Pitchford-Collins. May they both Rest In Peace. My mother certainly relished in his visits while she was alive. They would share memories from childhood and golden days. My grandfather was so blessed to see him and hear about his sister, Aunt Lela Bell! And, it was so clear he cherished those visits! Big Bro was just a generous person who gave his time and often gave monetary as well. He loved his family and he will be dearly missed! I salute his life and legacy! May he rest and glory and be received by his beautiful loved ones In Paradise! Love you dear cousin Now God loves you best Adlene Collins- French

"Every Moment is Precious" It's being conscious of that moment God creates just for you I was blessed to meet a stranger when I became an adult living on my own She came to me with a smile on her face, "you resemble a man I've known !" Really, I thought Hmm, what man could that be? With an insult I embrace the moment I was cautious of the next words that came out of my mouth Well, when you see this man Give him my number Later, that man was my father who had a twin brother Known as "Uncle Big Brother" Whom has given me small words but wise words Within each call Every moment was precious to me Uncle Big Brother
