My respect for a fallen soldier. His actions speak for themselves, he will be missed but not forgotten. Only if you grew up in this area would you understand that you are either a victom or a victomizer. The struggle will continue.

I understand french fries is a deragotory name for your rivals, but making threats isn't a wise thing to do.

"God saw you"
God saw you getting tired, when a cure was not to be.
So he wrapped his arms around you, and whispered, “come to me”.
You didn’t deserve what you went through, so he gave you rest.
God’s garden must be beautiful, he only takes the best.
And when I saw you sleeping, so peaceful and free from pain
I could not wish you back to suffer that again.

Why do so many of you think someone who obviously took pride in being called "Criminal" is "looking down" at you from some sort of heaven???
The guy is looking UP at you from some sort of HELL, wishing he could warn you about it! (But he can't.)
Aug. 18, 2011 at 12:35 a.m.
Truth,
Amen to that!
Aug. 18, 2011 at 8:16 p.m.
I cried when you passed away,I still cry today.Although I loved you dearly,I couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me he only takes the best.
