The first thing I want to say is Happy Heavenly Birthday. Momma use to say 7 was God's number so here we are, you would have been 77 on the 7th day.
I want you to know that you were the closest thing to a daddy that I ever had I'm proud to be who I am and that's because you taught me so much and made me have respect for other people and have morals but most of all you taught me how to treat my mother. I hope you went to be with Momma and you can tell her that y'all did a good job with me and I love her and miss her.
I love you my brother and we will ride again someday.
