Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. You were loyal and faithful friend, you will never be 4gotten. Rest in Peace my friend, God has you for good now.R.I.P.
I remember when you were born >> I was 6 years old >> moma said the stork brought you home. I told her, "Next time you go pick that baby up that stork could have dropped that baby." I remember when you were 5 and I was 11 God protected us from a highly poisonous coral snake >> He lifted you up in the air, my hands were around your ankles >> I took my hands off and you stayed in the air and God brought you down safely. Many people didn't know you could sing >> had a great voice. Your death seems like a bad nightmare.
Take your rest I Know God needed you more. No more suffering, no more pain. You are with your heavenly Father And Big-mama, Grandaddy, Your brother John, Love Your Niece, Tonya
