To the family of Mr. Smalls (as I always called him), I am sorry to hear about your lost I knew Mr. Smalls for a long time and received a surprise phone call from him the end of last year we picked up our conversation where we left off as if there was no distance between us. I always had the upmost respect for him because I knew his heart was genuine. I will truly miss him and words can't express the mark he has left on my heart forever.Looking at photos of him and the time he has spent with my family make me miss him deeply. I am praying that GOD will comfort you in your time of loss. I miss and love you Mr. Smalls until we meet again save a place for me in heaven.
