)DPLO\ 7ULEXWHV To my son,

You were taken away from me too soon. You grew up to be such a kind and loving man who loved his superwoman to the end. I'm going to miss you, well done my son, well done. Love, Your Mama My Everything, I love the way you look at me, your eyes so bright. I love the way you make me so happy, and the ways you show you care. I love the way you say “I Love You”, and the way you’re always there. Love, you are my superman and best friend! You will be truly missed. Your Wife Dear Dad, I miss laughing at your jokes, our father and daughter time, and watching you attempt to dance. Thank you for your unlimited love, discipline and great fathering skills. Love you forever. Sarai Dear Dad, You changed my life for the better. You have been a wonderful dad to me by teaching me thing about life, and spending quality time with our family daily. I will always remember this. Thank You! Nancy To my Twin, Even as I write these words, it still feels so unreal. The bond we had was inseparable. If anyone knew Hulk, they knew Butta, and vice versa. Bro, I’m not sure if you knew how much I looked up to you, seeing the love you gave your family, especially your daughters, nieces, and nephews is what inspired me to be the best husband and father I am today. Twin, I will always cherish the memories we’ve made, and all the laughs we had together. Just know, you will always be in my heart, and anytime I look in the mirror, I will forever see you. I Love You, Twin. Love, Butta To my boy, I’m going to miss calling you to talk about sports. I’m going to miss you calling saying “Daddy, do you love me” Love, Jackass Dad To Home Slice You will be greatly missed. Joe

)DPLO\ 7ULEXWHV Uncle,

I’m going to miss you very much, from going over your house cooking, and you asking me to cook you some pancakes. Uncle, you loved my pancakes and my kool-aid. I’m going to miss playing the game with you and hearing your humming in the other room. Especially hearing the random moments where you would say “Can you smell what the Rock is cooking”, or you taking us on a ride in big blue. I will never forget the stories of you telling me you rushed me to the hospital when I was being born. I’m going to miss getting phone calls from you playing on my phone. Last thing you told me was that you was proud of me. Those words will stick with me forever. Love your favorite niece, Ja’Zay. To my Phone Buddy My brother was one of the most positive and wise people that I will miss getting advice from. Henry loved his family outside them Cowboys and would do anything in his power to help someone in need. Henry, you are loved and you will be truly missed. Love your sister, Christian. To the Pain in My Butt, I will miss you talking so much noise to everybody, but what I will miss the most is you calling me saying: Hulk - Susta! Me - What Hulk? Hulk - Do you love me? Me - Yes, what do you want? Hulk - Susta, can you make us some Macaroni Casserole & Meatballs? Love Susta aka Big Linebacker Dear Uncle Big Butt, I am going to miss you sharing your Oreos with me - JaLynn Brother, I’m going to miss those calls saying “Susta, what you doing” and we laughing at each other. At the end of the day we was mama and daddy three musketeers. — Love Ebany

Brother in law, You will always be my bench buddy— V. Howard Uncle , I’m going to miss playing video games with you— Love Pooh Pooh.

Uncle , I’m going to miss you calling me Big Head— Love, Big Head Jr.

Uncle , I’m going to miss your pancakes and your funny faces— Love, Tata. Uncle , I’m going to miss all of your jokes— Love, Mollie.

Uncle , I’m going to miss you calling me midget— Love, London

Uncle , I’m going to miss talking about sports and wrestling— Love, DJ

If you knew Hulk, then you know these are the things he likes to say. “Milk and Cookies” “Mama, I’m checking on you” “You like my shirt up or down” “I’m a Ginuwine look alike” “mmmmmm” “Hell Yeah” “Naw that’s nasty” “I can dance” “Tutz, can you fight” “Mama, tell my wife to give me some” “Mama, I’m the good one, them the two trouble makers” “Can you smell what the Rock is cooking” “Shay, you fine” “Going to be looking like 1+0” “Susta” “Daddy, do you love me” BE THE BIGGER PERSON

Perhaps you sent a lovely card or sat quietly in a chair. Perhaps you sent a floral piece, if so, we saw it there. Perhaps you prayed a sincere prayer or came to pay a call. Perhaps you sang a cheerful song, if so, we heard it all. Perhaps you spoke the kindest words, as any friend could say. Perhaps you prepared a tasty dish, or maybe furnished a car. Perhaps you rendered a service unseen, near at hand or from afar. Whatever you did to console our hearts, by word or deed or touch. Whatever was the kindly part, We thank you, oh so very much.
