Farewell my cuz.. sad to see another cuzzie has left us.. we were all so close growing up especially Christmas holidays when we were all together at the farm.. see you in the next life xo 🤍🕊️
So hard to think that you have left this world to enter another. It's not goodbye its see you again. You will be missed rocket bear... Errol as kids we where always looking for trouble in 1 way or form. As adults we went our separate ways but where always thought of. The wrestling matches we would have tag teaming and beating up your dad. The fishing mud throwing. They are our memories the memories I alone keep. Love you cuzzy see you when I see you
