Earth has no sorrows that Heaven cannot Heal. Sending love and prayers to the entire family. Faye, Al & Casey Johnson and Leah and Rashad Bilal♥️ you all!!!
There are no words big enough for the hole in my heart right now. Our relationship was complicated, but one thing was always true: I was so deeply in love with you. Through every high and low, you were someone I could never let go of, no matter how life changed.
We both loved Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You, and there's a reason why. That song says everything my heart feels, the kind of love that stays with you forever. We made sure to play it and dance to it whenever we were together, like it was our own reminder of what we meant to each other.
I know how much you loved me too. What we shared didn't need to be explained. It was understood in the way we laughed, fought, made up, and always found our way back to each other.
I need your voice, and I miss it more than I can explain: the laughter, the late-night talks, even the way you would drive me crazy sometimes. On Monday, you told me to call you back that night. I didn't know that would be the last time we spoke. Now I would give anything just to hear you one more time.
But if I know you, you're up there in heaven making sure everyone hears you, yelling "hey, hey!" just like always. I'll love you forever.
Save me a dance when we meet again.
Your partner for life, Bumbledoo 💔
TO GOD BE THE GLORY OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILY MAY THE LORD KEEP HIS LOVING ARMS AROUND YOU AT THIS TIME OF SADDNESS THE LORD WILL FOREVER KEEP YOU IN HIS CARE.
