I want to send my deepest to Jannie, Little Jeff, Christie, and Angel. I loved my brother deeply, even though things got out of control over a piece of dirt. I was accused of a lot of very bad things that I was supposed to have said about my brother, that I never said or had a part in. I want the children to know this. I ask for forgiveness for getting so angry with my brother over the years and the things that I said to him. I forgive him years ago and hope that all of you forgive me for any thing that I may done or said to him that I did say, not the lies. I hate that I never knew he was sick, I hate the fact that I never got to say goodbye to him and let him know in person that I loved him, forgave him, and I missed him after all the years that passed that I never saw him. It never should have been this way. I ask God to keep him, and I know that he is with all his loved ones that has passed before him. I will love him and miss him for the rest of my life. I want all of you to forgive me for what I did do, and forget the things that were said that I did not do. I know you are all hurting and I want you all to know that I love all of you and pray for you. I asked for I will be praying for all of you for comfort, peace and guidance . I am not the same person that I was, I got saved, and all of you will be in my hearts no matter how you may feel about me.
