GOD PROMISES A DAY WITH NO MORE PAIN,
NO MORE SADNESS AND NO MORE TEARS.
IT’S A DAY WITHOUT MOURNING.
A DAY WHEN THE RADIANCE OF HIS SON SHINES BRIGHTER,
THAN ANY PAIN WE HAVE EXPERIENCED AND UNTIL THAT DAY WE GATHER TOGETHER.
“OFFICER”, WE SAY THANKYOU,
BECAUSE WE CAN NEVER SAY THESE WORDS ENOUGH

I remember working with you at EPD and everybody would ask if we we're related. I would tell them that you probably wished you we're related to me! The truth is we are brothers in LE and I always knew I could count on you to be there when "it got deep". Rest in Peace Brother, and tell Mr. Charles hello for me..
