Guest Book

I remember the first time I met him. My daughter moved to High Point last year and I was in the store getting gas and he said Maam can you bless me with some change. I didn't have cash om me but the next day as I was taking my grandson home I ran into him again at the dollar store and I had some cash on me. I gave him enough to get him some food. He was the sweetest person I had ever met on the street. He was truly an angel. My heart hurts for this family but I know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. It was tragic how he died but God don't make mistakes. He is truly resting in the arms of the almighty. God bless his family.

I was so very very sad to here about what happen to this young man. He was always so kind and helpful. I would see him in 5point and he would ask to wash my windshields, clean my tires or help put my bags in the car when I was coming out of the dollar store. If he ask for change he was like 'mom can you bless me with some change always said thank you and bless you. Im really going to miss his smiling face. Family you have my continue prayers.

I had just seen Boodaboot the day before sitting outside family dollar and he had the most biggest amile on his face. I got out the car and said " whats up boodaboot " he replies back " hey ray ray , yu got a blessing?" Im going to miss yu boodaboot no matter how people treated yu , yu still walked away with a smile not caring what other people think of yu. I wish i couldve helped yu a lot more but anything i seen your face i knew i had to give yu SOMETHING even if it wasnt a lot and even when i didnt have it yu would say " thats okay ray ray , yu look out all the time " and i would use my stamps and get yu something to snack on or something to drink . This is unbelievable still , may your soul rest peacefully ans My condolence to your family and true friends as i was one of them. Much Love Ray Ray
