Sending heartfelt condolences to the family of my good friend, Snooky. A life well lived and a legacy that will never be forgotten, I am truly grateful to have known him. To Monnie and the kids, Sharon & I will keep you all in our prayers and if you need anything we’re here for you.
My loving father Isaac young was an amazing and caring man. If he decided to leave someone’s name off then it was for a very good reason. Why mention someone’s name who did nothing but disrespect my father while he was alive and never had the decency to apologize. My father’s soul is well with the lord so we’re not gonna waste our time dealing with people that he never met, let alone acknowledge a man who meant him no well.
