To the family, Edward Loraine his cousin Daisy her sister... My condolences to you all. I last saw him in Walmart being guided by a guy in June I believe. He looked like Kent with salt and pepper hair, but otherwise looked good. I called him he didn't hear me I went to speak and he said who that is(lol) just like that. I said you don't recognize my voice...it's Juanita. He smiled and reached to give me a hug in the wrong direction(smile) but never did I think that would be the very last time I saw him. I thought of him and mentioned it was his birthday to my son... I didn't know he had passed until 9/5. You all are in my prayers look to God for comfort during your time of grief🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😔❤️
