We are all proud of how he has helped make Blake the fine young man he has become today. He will be missed.’

I am so glad that you have all of these wonderful memories to hold in your heart. I could see the love in the video between Skip and his family…….especially that very strong love between he and his son Blake and also between he and his very special mother. Thanks for sharing these pictures. I love you sweet friend.’

‘It Brings me deep sadness to find out that Roy passed away. when I haven’t heard from him for a while and didn’t answer phone or texts, I thought this is unlike him, and I was shocked to find out this way. he was a real gentleman and good father who loved his son and mother deeply. may he rest in peace and condolences to the family and to Blake’
‘Missing you . . . . Love, Mom.’
Jist wanna say Hello Dad. And happy 2yrs in heaven. I hope to meet u and talk to u face to face someday.. eventhough you weren’t around me at all for you to learn and see what amazing young girl to a smart gorgeous lady i have bacome. It breaks my heart that i cant even get to know my only brother and how the women( your mother) i looked up too and loved so dearly just threw me to the curve and has treated me. Ive spent all day torn up and sad knowing its been 2 years since i got a call about your death but before that call i never recieved a happy birthday call or anything. I do know your grandmother and grandpa ( my great grandparents) loved me with all there heart and showed me as much as they could that i was family. at the time i always wondered why i wasnt important to your mom or you. But i am a child if god and I forgive you and her but i wish i could of just hugged you in real life JUST ONE TIME.. i look so much like you.
