My name is Jewel Stokes was my neighborhood mechanic and a long time  friends I used to go to the alley just to get him to do some light work on my car  I always made sure he has something to eat or have proper clothes on to keep him warm, he’s such a good hearted man he would give you the coats off his back if you need food, he would share with what he had. I never met a man as kind as Stokes he would truly be missed. RIP my friend 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️

“Even Though”
Contribute to 
Uncle Bill Stokes

Even though you’re no longer here,
I can feel you’re someplace nearby.
Even though it’s only been a little while,
I already miss your smile.
Even though I can no longer see you from day to day,
I know you will always be looking our way.
Even though I can’t understand why,
I make it my place to try.
I know the one great GOD way up in the sky,
Chose your spirit to set free and fly.

Love Always, YT &  Taylor Family
