I love you my brother you're so dear to me one day we will meet in heaven. This world was a cruel world to you and family too. So sorry they put you through such hard times and didn't even provide a beautiful tribute on your behalf. You gave your life so that they can have. I didn't even know that you were in the hospital or that you had died. I wasn't even invited to the funeral, I found out the funeral home name by looking on Google. Our mother Shirley was w
happy to shout from her house next door that they found all types of syringes and needles in the bathroom that you were a drug addict. And a new Mexican girlfriend was in your house on the day you died Shirley James our mother commended the Mexican woman's sweetness. Our mother buried you on the day she was born which was the 26th day. And she contacted Usrey funeral home. She always said that you and I used her and didn't love her she had only one family member and that was our half sister by another father her name "Jody." I'm sorry it took so long for me to make a post on your tribute wall but I just didn't know what funeral home it took you to. I didn't really let me know what you died of or why you was in the hospital. They did send Sharon Wallace RN to my home to let me know after the fact you and Lynn James died one day apart in 2011. It is now September 13th 2021 that I write this tribute to you. You were awesome and body strength, you were highly intelligent. The doctors asked you if you were a doctor because you could explain your health problem to a doctor in a doctor's language. And you said to me you learned what you knew by audio tapes and you played them when you did Long haul truck driving. It was her high blood pressure that took you off the road and you had to learn a new career. It's not easy being a truck driver I should have commended you many times over but the family wouldn't let me see you for most of your life. Because they were using you to make money and many times you had to set it in jail on their behalf. You had to make a lot of money because you had a huge family to support. Our mother and our sister did not provide the obituary tribute wall with family ancestral history to honor you. Children by former wives were never mentioned nor even your beautiful grandchildren you are one blessed man. Did the best that you know how to do we were not raised by our biological mother. I thank God for our grandparents we wouldn't have had any Christian upbringing if it hadn't been for them. I never caught you in a lie I know you felt you didn't have to lie. You were a marshall arts instructor top of the line body and you were our half sister's body guard. You said a man was put in the alleyway it was either you or him and you had to kill him or he would have killed you. That's how evil some families can be towards their own family members. Mother and her sister Jody James cost you a lot of money and me too they lived high on the hog and they made us feel like we weren't even in the family. Our mother Shirley James laminated obituaries from the L.A. Times Newspaper in 1972. She laminated her father's obituary and gave it to me. I never was invited to our grandparent Holland's funeral in Columbus Indiana. I believe both of them were buried in Hope Indiana. Bless you my brother you weren't the only one that was mistreated and used for money to keep our mother and our sister into their liking of a non Christian lifestyle. I had to move from Lincoln Alabama to Birmingham Alabama in 2014 I felt just to stay alive. I at least know that you're safe now in heaven I believe I will see you one day again. Bye for now, your loving sister Vickie Lea Myers
