Yo Big Bro this yo Lil Bro "Knowledge Bone" as you would always call me whenever we would hit each other's line. I was locked up when I got the news man and I cried like a baby. Every since the day we met at the Aquarium back in "08" on the pier in Frisco when we were both takin our kids... We always stayed in touch, and you always had time to give me some advice or show me some love. Man I miss you bro and I pray your family will continue to stay strong until they see you again. Inshallah we will all see you again. I Love You Big Bro, Much Love & Respect always. Yo Lil bro "Knowledge Bone".

Hi, I have an anniversary event on 26 Oct at shgarni-la hotel and im looking at having a digital guestbook for my VIPs to take pics and sign well wishes against their pics on the tablet. This session will be from 6-7pm, only 1 hour, how many VIPs can you do within this hour?Altogether i have 800-1000 guests but i know you can't do so many in 1 hour, so this is just for the VIPs. For the rest of the crowd, i would like them to be able to take pics and to take home, like an instant photo studio, size is name card size or a nice 4R with a frame/folder? It must be branded with a customized logo. It's a 40th anniversary logo. Please drop me a quote for both items, a package rate would be great! Thanks.

O Allaah, forgive and have mercy upon him, excuse him and pardon him, and make honorable his reception. Expand his entry, and cleanse him with water, snow, and ice, and purify him of sin as a white robe is purified of filth. Exchange his home for a better home, and his family for a better family, and his spouse for a better spouse. Admit him into the Garden, protect him from the punishment of the grave and the torment of the Fire.'

I miss you the Jacka you taught me so much and I am crying because you did not deserve this cruelty weather unintended or not.you will be forever loved and missed from Akron Ohio to the bay area. You always approved of my talent and you showed me so much. I am sitting here crying at fivr fourty four in the morning and all I can hear is your voice in my head singing your name it's the jack it's the jack...I'll be a million miles away when you get this letter. To thug for the streets can't shake the pain.A right to remember. You my friend and I need would let you down. People change but the world still goes around. We will get justice for your murder. Rest in paradise. I love you forever and eternity. You will be sorely missed.
