I wish I could of spoke at your funeral. Those girls that were suppose to be your neice that spoke didn't know you.It sound like they were told what to say.Nobody talked about you love for music. All they kept mentioning was green onions, cars, and law enforcement. There was more to you than that. I knew you my entire life. Our family is all about music. Nobody talked about you playing the saxophone in school or that you wrote music. Or knew that you wrote a song and it's on Youtube today. When my brother and I were getting picked on you were always ready to come to our school with our dad strapped telling them to leave us alone. You never let no one bother us.You always told us you were proud of us for sticking to music. You always gave me advice about boys esp the ones to stay away from. You loved our kids like your own like you did us. It's unfair that none of your REAL nieces and nephews are mentioned in you obituary. It's like they tried to to hide us or keep us a secret. It hurt us that they left us out.But we still have a voice.It's ok God knows the truth.We know the REAL you and what you really stood for. You wanted us to always do right and stay on a good path. My dad made sure we were on a good path and so did you. You were a hero to many people.You will never be forgotten.

My big brother how I miss talking to you. We laughed and joked about you teaching me how to drive a stick shift. You taught me how to shoot a rifle. Drag ran and we would laugh about me blowing upyour car when I beat one of your friends. We had some Google old times with our friend$ all over NOrthern Virginia. We talked about our health problems in which you and I were on dialysis. I could call you anytime and you would always tell me to follow what the doctor say. You were there for me and I was there for you. I miss you and I will always have a closeness for you. No matter what you do you are always my brother. I know you took the risk to do what you had to do. I love you very uch. I know you did it your way. Rest in Peace.

Douglas I wish I could have spent more time with you in your last days. One regret I will always have is that I didn't have that last two way conversation with you. We've talked over the years about a lot of things and it will never be the same without you telling me about your trucks and collectables. My kids remember how glad you were at all of their accomplishments and you took interest in my grandchildren. We have been through a lot together over the years and I will miss the times with my big brother as we gave each other advice and encouragement. I an glad that you don't have to suffer anymore. JIMI
