Leslie Thomas' Latest Interactions
To Mr. Dennis "Bana" Rose, a poem borrowed from the movie, "Cooley High":
"We were friends a long time ago. Laughing, rapping, chasing girls. Obeying no laws, except the one of caring.
Basketball days, and high nights. No tomorrows. Unable to remember yesterday. We lived for today!"
Rest in eternal peace. I'll see you at the end of the line.
Happy Birthday to my birthday buddy! May you enjoy your special day as much as I am (in spite of social limitations).
Dear Lourdes, it is especially painful to know that your passing occurred just days away from your birthday. It's never easy for those of us who have known you since grammar school. Your infectious smile and pleasant demeanor will be sorely missed. You're now at peace with your beloved husband. May you both Rest in Eternal Peace.
