In Our Hearts
 We thought of you today, but that is nothing new.
 We thought about you yesterday and the day before that too.
 We think of you in silence.
 We often speak your name.
 Now all we have are memories.
 And your picture in a frame.
 Your memory is our keepsake.
 For which we’ll never part.
 God has you in his keeping.
 We have you in our hearts.
Eddie Scott Jr

When I look back on the way we were, I don’t just see memories—I feel them.
I remember Sticks weren’t just sticks—they were our horses, carrying us across fields,  Old car tires became our automobiles, rolling us down dusty roads. 
We climbed trees higher and higher, fearless and free. I still smile thinking about how we’d break off grapevines for cigarettes, and try to smoke them,
That was our childhood—simple, wild, and full of joy.  
And now, I realize those days never really left me. They live on in every laugh we shared, every game we played, every quiet moment of knowing we belonged to the same story,  because you always reminded me on the first day of August each year, that we were twins for eleven days.

So today, I don’t just say goodbye. I say thank you.
Thank you for the love, the laughter, and the life we shared when the world was simple and we were young. 
No matter where you are now, I know this much is true— We were blessed.  And I will carry “the way we were” with me, always.
 RIP Brother

There’s not enough space
Or time in a day
For all the sweet things 
I have to say
So to sum it all up 
Before time to hush
I’ll miss you UNC
I’ll miss you so much
                              Rest In Peace 
                                            Your Niece, Alisa

I Love you and will miss you 
You were truly a wonderful big brother 
May your soul rest in peace .🙏🏾.         
To all my sisters and brother and entire family I love you all .

You always wanted to tell me something, 
but you forgot to tell me just how hard it would be to let you go. I know you didn’t mean to leave us, in death we have no choice, I’m really going to miss hearing the sound of your voice.
I wish I could have seen, touched or talked to you before you were given to the sky. If God  would grant me one last wish, I’d ask to say goodbye.
Now that you have transition into the arms of our Savior, I take comfort in Psalm 116:15 that says “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his faithful servants.”  You were a faith servant.
While I will miss you dearly. I say farewell for now, 
Although my heart is heavy, I hold onto the promise that  we shall meet again.
RIP My Brother I will miss you!

I will miss you Morse whenever the family get together and you would be there, we would always manage to hang out together during that time. I love and will miss you❤️ God is still good family, love you all ❤️❤️🙏🏿

Of all the gifts in life however great or small.
To have had you for our brother, was the  greatest gift of all.
May the winds of love blow softly and whisper in your ear, we love and miss you brother, and wish that you were here.
Deep in our hearts your life is kept, to love and cherish and not to forget.
