Rakeem says
Dear DAD, where to begin… I guess at the beginning. Thank you for everything you had to go through, so you could get to the point where you helped give me life. Thank you for always loving me unconditionally, I truly know what that means thanks to you and mom. You taught us everything so many things the richest man can’t buy. What you did for me in your lifetime was priceless. Your AURA was generational truly one of a kind and shined on us all like a star. I’m glad to say I love you and I know you love me without a doubt and that I made you proud. Not to many people can say a parent was there hero but you was mine and I made myself believe you would live forever. For my kids I pray I can come close to what you mean to us then I know I did my best . Tell all the loved ones we miss them. I love you dad your forever missed❤️🤞🏽♾️

Ralph was a good man. I had the pleasure of meeting him about 9 years ago. From the first time we spoke, he made me feel like family. Not surprised to learn that he helped raise a lot of kids, and helped hold families together. He would give you the shirt off his back. He would put himself on hold just to make sure others were good. Rest in peace Ralph, you’ll never be forgotten

Dear Grandpa,
Words cannot express how much I miss you. Even though you left the world too soon, you’re never truly gone, especially in my heart. You are the most kindhearted, loving, and amazing grandfather that I could ever have. I will miss taking trips to the post office to deliver your birthday, Christmas, and I love you cards. Have a great time in heaven!
Love, Victoria ❤️
