    To my loving Uncle I grew up stories of you not truely understanding what they meant, but as I got older I still heard the stories and I realized that I was blessed to have you as a uncle! I didn't know that you were such a hero and how many people owe their lives to you! I Boot now and always! R.I.P

    JB, was a super-hero and one of the best brother anyone could ask for.
    Yes! He's extremely missed I had much love and respect for him, it's still here in my heart, it'll never leave and if there's any way I can make his name stand out trust me if it's in Gods' will then let His, will be done, because my brother deserves more and more honor. Only God,knows how much I loved him and it was not lip,tongue and mouth love, it was agape love, unconditional love, action love,that's true love. I'll always honor you for who were, my brother,my friend,my super hero! because you are still (THE ONE)

    REST IN PEACE MY DEAR BROTHER
    WITH LOTS OF LOVE,
    YOUR SISTER, Retha
