“For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens” – 2 Corinthians 5:1
Though we weren’t blood, you were and always will be my brother. I can’t express just how much I am thankful to have been able to have you be a part of my life and my family. Thank you for the laughs, the tears and the love you shared with me. Keep watch over Hunter, Bubby, Jessie and Gubba for me. We will all miss you tremendously. Rest now brother mine. Your fight is done. Until I see you again…..
We already miss you boo! Can’t believe your gone so soon.
Rest Easy, Pops. It hasn’t been a smooth road for us, but the moments we shared together were always a light in my life. I am thankful to have been able to spend your final days on Earth together.
The loss of you has left a hole in my heart and incredibly sad for the things that could have been.
