To the Bates family:
You all are in my prayers. I pray God will give you strength. Mr.B. also known as Boo, Boboo will be missed dearly. He was a very good man who put others first. He would get on me about going to doctors and taking my medicines. I would ask him are you taking your medicine and did you eat today, and he would say yes. He was an unselfish person. I will always remember his last words at the hospital to me. I told him others and I are praying for you and he said so plain (PRAY FOR EVERYBODY).
I love you my friend and may you rest in peace… Jody
