As many know, I was adopted into the family as the daughter of Patricia. So I was unfamiliar with her side of the family besides a few folks. But I can promise he wasn’t unnoticed as an important family member. I hope those that grew up with him know he felt love and empathy by them. My condolences go out to the family and whom ever is in pain. Good people get accepted into The Lords arms. His story doesn’t end here.
