Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. A FUNNY CHILDHOOD MEMORY
    When my brother and I were children, my Dear Mama had photos of Uncle Peanut in a pair of boxing trunks and boxing gloves. This was during the time Eddie Murphy had come on the scene and Sugar Ray Leonard was at the prime of his career. And, in the boxing picture of Uncle Peanut, he resembled Eddie Murphy.

    My mom always talked about her brother “Peanut”, but we had never met him and no one told us the story of where he was. So, for the majority of our childhood, my brother and I always told our friends we had a famous Uncle who lived in Hollywood and was a boxer who fought Sugar Ray Leonard.😅

    Rest well, Unc.‼️❤️

  2. There is a saying that a father feels for his daughter “If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together keep me in your heart. I will stay there forever”
    Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
    Bob and Sharon Payne

  3. All our thoughts and prayers are with all of you today. We are watching from afar but there in spririt. Love you. Kim, Sierra, and Savannah
