Dear WaLillian, Tony , Jekeitta and Tyson family. So sorry to hear of your fathers passing . You and your husband raised a great family and loved having you as neighbors and classmates , especially Norton school. My dad died Feb 2010 and he and our whole family were so proud to see Obama elected. To go from a great man like that to the demon from hell racist that is there now is the most horrible thing ever. Sorry bout the mini rant but I can’t believe our society is going backwards. Blessings to all of you and feel solace in the great legacy your father left you all. A life truly well lived and never ever to be forgotten. God Bless You All and peace be with you.
Our hearts and prayers are with you. May God continue to comfort you during your loss. From your cousins, Agnes, Joyce, Donald and Joseph Richardson
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Please know you are in my prayers.
U r in our prayers in your time of sorrow may god be with the entire Tyson’s Family.
