Fats, 

 A year has went by & still tears fall from my eyes. Word's & my emotions can't describe the pain that I feel inside. You are and always will be my best friend, my partner in crime, my right hand, my rock. It would of just been an honor to of been your friend. But I was truly blessed by God himself to of recieved you as my Big Brother. The love and affection that you showed me was next to none. I owe you so much, the time that me and you spent together was the best time in my life. Thank you for the love that you showed me and the time you spent on me shaping me into a man. You saved my life Skip, if I didn't meet you when I did. By now I would of done been dead or in jail. The world itself is just at a loss. It just seems so much colder and smaller with out you in it. I just wanted to tell you that I love you and I miss you ... Dam I miss you ... You used to always say to me " What you fat motha fucka? You can't tell me you love me? " ... Fats I love you so much. I'm not the type of person to air or show my feelings out for other mother fuckers to see, but I got to send this letter out to you. Just know that what ever Irish mountain or cloud that you are sitting on , smile n smoken that blunt with the Bottoms Crown. Know that what ever time I leave this earth, who ever is standing to your right bump em the fuck down one cause Bubba is coming. I love you forever & always. 

                                 Your lil Brother 

                                 That Honkey 

                                 Licous
