My dear cousin, where do I start off at. I couldn’t believe you went away so young.I will remember the fun and laughter we had together. I can see your face now and that contagious smile you have. The tears won’t stop flowing but I know you are in a better place surrounded by loves ones. You was always singing and I think GOD needs you up in HEAVEN to help with a song he knows that needed your voice. I’m going to miss hearing “HEYYYY PAT” and there will never be another I can nor will say back to “HEYYY WILL.I.AM.” You told me to stop calling you Kabooboo and I said well stop calling me MooMoo. I’m going to miss you and Rashard coming to the house playing cards and cracking jokes. You are a MAN that has touched a lot of hearts. KEEP ON SINGIN. I LOVE YOU CUZN WILL.I.AM (aka) KABOOBOO…LOL
