Family, I apologize, I left out Psalm 30:5 for the Siblings of Tut, Minister Robert, Mary Lou, Barbara, Annie, Gail & Daniel I do apologize,I was writing very fast as thoughts were coming from my head. Also Tut was raised with My Siblings & I in Cutoff, Louisiana . Love You Family❤

In Loving Memory of My BIG Brother/ Cousin who was raised first by My Maternal Grandmother, Beatrice Chenier, then My Mother Elzina Berryhill when My grandmother passed away with My Siblings & I. We were 5 girls in the same house & My Brother did not let us get away with anything especially when he was left in charge to Babysit. Tut as I often called him when I became older was a Jokester, Clown & the strict disciplinarian to All that knew him. Maybe I get this part from him by watching from the sideline in our home as a young girl. Tut your Life was a Blessing, Your Memory a treasure. For this, You are Loved Beyond Words. To His Loving Wife, Paula,, God Father, LB, Children, Grandchildren, Auntie Mildred, Auntie Eva & Auntie Lucille & Cousins & All that was ever connected to Tut in some way of His Life, Just remember Psalm 30:5, For His Anger endureth but a Moment, In His favor is Life. Weeping May Endureth for a Night, But JOY is Cometh in the Morning. Alleluia! Hold on Family to God's unchanging Hands 🙏🙏🙏 to see you All Very Soon.May God Continues to Bless & Keep Each & Everyone of You is My Prayer.Love You Family! Sis Felicia Berryhill Thibodaux
