I just posted this on another site. Hopefully someone will see this and contact me. I see his name and I still can't wrap my head around it! There is only one Yancey Cage that used to live in my area but I still accept it. Are we talking about MY YANCEY? He ususally calls and checks up on me every few years and he's due any day now. Please don't tell me...we have so much to talk about!
If this is not not my dear friend..I apologize. I can't imagine your loss and I my prayers go out to your family. If it is ..Dear God, my heart is breaking as I type. I'll be waiting on his call and if it never comes I'll still be waiting.

Man I can't believe this is true im a year late. You've been gone this whole time and I thought u were still here. I should of called u a year ago. I should of asssured u that u could count on me when ever u needed me. Man Yancey I can't believe this is true. I asked about u today to see how u were doing. I never expected to hear that we lost u to some B.S. I want you're fam. To no that u we're a hard working man that wanted the best for ure family. That took his job seriously and never backed down from a hard day of work I've never lost a co-worker / friend. And im thankful to the lord that we got to work together.I wish the Cage family strength and faith in Gods decision. You're homey.... Hector.
