A Tribute from Momma and Lil Bros!

"I never been big on titles, but often you told me that you felt I was the big brother. I used to laugh it off because these shoes I never wanted to fill. I learned so much from you and how you lived your life you taught me to always stay in motion and let nothing stop me from where I needed to go. I will cherish our time spent, our conversations, your heart of gold, and your mind to make something shake mentally. May God allow you to protect and watch over the family from the spiritual side. Oh, don't worry I will keep my head above water. Stay sucka free. I will love you always and forever, big brother!!" -Cory.

"Big bro, it's good to see you here. I've always loved you!" - Juwan

"My son, my firstborn, I love you more than you would ever know! Son, you were a blessing to my life and many others, even when life was not kind. I know you loved the Lord and talked to him. Momma loves you and will see you in Heaven. With much love, -Momma.
