The bibles says in everything we should give him thanks, well GOD I'm thanking you for allowing my mother shirley and I to have been an important part of "pop" life. She will be greatly missed by our family, she was more than a friend, she was family. I am glad to say that we showed her love and support, anything she asked of us, it would be done, so on your last day when you asked that we not cry for you or hold you here we gently and sorrowfully released you to go home and do what the master would have you to do. Sleep on "pop" take your rest, you have fought a good fight, now go get your reward....Loving you always.....Your Best friend Shirley, your nephews Rodney, Derrick and Shannon, your nieces, Neicey, Ashlen and your lil boo Shania (shanori)

To the Smalls Family: All I can say is that you lost a beautiful flower from your garden but know that she continues to blossoms in Heaven's Garden. She was a rear gem in the kingdom. She was a Living Epistle confirmed by God because as much as she walked through I have never seen her down or complaining. She kept her Joy in midst of it all. A song says, "I won't complain, I could be I won't." Well I believe that, that song was wriiten with her in mind. Just thinking about her life and the person she was is a testimony for us all. I pray that God would comfort you all in these time because in him you will find a safe and peaceful place. Rest in him!
