“It's been almost a year u been gone I swear it's not a day that have went by that I haven't thought of you. I miss me being able to call you and just say hey ma what you doing then hearing your voice just light up when you hear it's me. it's really been hard on me dealing with the fact that you are gone. I just try to deal with it in my own little way, stay strong and keep it moving. I cry to myself alot at times just thinking about you. You taught me to be da man i am today. once upon a time I was goin down the wrong road you never turned your back on me. four years of been locked up, I ask God for one thing every single night, all I wanted was for me to get out and you to see me doing good before you leave this Earth and I'm thankful god gave me that one wish. if you were here, you would be so proud of me but I Know you sitting high watching over me. I can write a book and go on and on but with that being said I thank you for everything you have taught me. I thank you for making me the man I am today and I just would like to wish you a happy happy birthday you will never be forgotten may you rest in peace love always your grandson Calvin!!!!!!!!”

We love you mom! Vernell, Al,Sharon,Richard Jr., grandkids, relatives and friends.
