It was a great honor to have him as a god father. A Godfather, which Oxford Dictionary defines as "a man who presents a child at baptism and promises to take responsibility for their religious education," or more simply "a man who is influential." Both definitions accurately described my Godfather. I love you and will always miss you Love Butter Ball

To my first cousins, Pernell Jr, Timothy Sr., Tony and our entire family, look to the hills from which cometh our help; which is the Lord who hath made heaven and earth. Sending prayers and sincere condolences 🙏 Minister Sandra Marie Lanier.
Isaiah 41:10 - Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my right hand of my righteousness.

Although you are gone from this side ,I will see you again on the other side for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. You are my greatest inspiration to Preach and sing. I will carry you in my heart and you will continue to live through me, your son Timothy Raggins Sr. Love you infinity
