A special thanks to his cousins and neighbors, Ms. Lillian Brown and her granddaughter, Ms. Angela Williams-Ross, Jeff Unger, our new neighbor who would prepare meals and share with him while watching sports, and Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Hollis. They looked out and helped him whenever they could. His official home going memorial will be during the summer of 2023. The Lord Hears Your Cry I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the Lord. – Psalm 40:1-3
