EXPRESSIONS OF LOVE

This is where I want to be, right here with my loved ones. Like dad, like son—both fresh and fly after a visit to the Barbershop! There's nothing better than making memories while getting clean cuts together. The family needs you...you are our backbone. All the game that you gave me, it's time to apply it. Papa Chuck, your laughter and stories hold a special place in my heart. I am deeply grateful for the happiness you bring to my life. CJ (his in voice little chill)

Forgiveness is the action or the process of forgiving or being forgiven. OG spoke often about addressing issues that affect the dynamics of relationships and salvaging the foundation that once was. OG would always say, "that's what we doing now? Oh wow." Dar we don't disown family no matter what damage was done. At the end of the day family is all we got. I live by this: no matter how hurt you are, you have to go through a healing process, and it begins with forgiveness. LOVE YOUR DAUGHTER – Mimi

I’m a strong person but once in a while, I would like someone to take my hand, tell me that everything’s going to be alright. I miss you OG. LOVE YOUR DAUGHTER -Tisha

To Renee: You fascinate and inspire me. You thrill and excite me. You also calm me and give me peace. You are simply amazing, and I will spend my whole life showing you how much I love you. I love every moment spent with you; your love has touched my heart. (Just a touch away from Chuck )
