Memories and Condolences
for Roosevelt Thompson

Not sure what to say?





Hey PaPa. I have so many things I want to say and I don´t know where to start. Thank you for being the best grandfather you knew how to be to us. I will always remember greasing your scalp, the snack bags and how you always had a lil something for us whenever we would come see you lol. I remember passing by you and sitting on the porch with you and Mon just talking. I remember passing by and catching you walking in Delmont Village and getting out to take that walk with you because you never wanted to get in the car lol. None of us are perfect but I will always remember the wisdom you provided me with. The stories about your past and listening to the recordings of you singing from when you said you did music. I´ll remember putting that water on to start your coffee and straightening the tv out when you said you weren´t catching all of your channels. Papa just know you were loved then, you are loved now and you´ll be loved in the future. I wish you could have met Legend in the flesh but I know you are looking down on us in spirit. We love you and may you continue to rest easy in paradise.
