Billy Gene, so sad about Mann. Such a handsome boy, and man. I know the loss will never be easy, but you do have some wonderful memories. I remember when he was little, he always wanted to be right where you were. It was like the two of you were stuck like glue. How you would take him to work with you when he was little, and he would act like he did a days work right along beside you. That was so cute. When he got grown, you two were still close. So you know you two as father and son, was right. My prayers are with you Billy, and be proud that you had him in your life for the time God allowed you to have him. God Bless You! Rosilan Mary Jean, Paso, and Snooks, your loss of your brother will one day become beautiful memories, where you will be able to smile and think about when you all grew up and spend wonderful times together. He was the baby of the family and I can remember how when he was little y'all were so protected of him. You would tease him and get mad when Wanda and Billy Gene would get on to you, but a few minutes later you would be back being watchful over him. So sweet. When he became a man, he would be the one giving y'all advise. Just know that he is there in your mamas other relatives arms now. I will keep you girls in my prayers and take care of your daddy. You still have your family, just missing 2 that God chose to prepare a place for the rest of you when he calls you home. Love all of you. Because of my health, i could not make the trip, but i will be thinking and praying for you. Love you all, Aunt Rosilan.

In life a lot of times we have no idea who we are in Christ. Mann loved the LORD but he didn't realize how gifted he was. I was in a service at church and there were a couple hundred people in this service. The LORD allowed me to see this...I looked at the front and saw "MANN" he raised his hands to praise GOD. When he raised his hands it was like a spark of fire shot through the congregation. This fire brought deliverance & healings and no telling what else. Mann did not know anything about this...he was just praising GOD! One man's obedience of praising GOD affected a whole congregation. The LORD says that LOVE covers a multitude of sin....Mann's LOVE for GOD affected a multitude of people that day...and Mann knew nothing about it. When Mann begin to praise GOD a multitude of people were blessed.....and I was one of them. I love you Mann...Billy JR. your LOVE made a difference in my life. Your Uncle Morris & all the family love you so much!!!!!!!

I remember all the times uncle Mann would call me back to his room and tell me to get whatever candy I wanted out of his big stash of candy, he was a great person, would give anyone the shirt off his back if they needed it. I know he is so peaceful with Granny and is watching over us all. I love you and tell everyone I said hello.
