To all my supporting readers and fellow authors...

...

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that my younger brother 'King Ernie' Boyce has passed away to kidney failure this December 24th, 2016. He had been suffering the past few weeks and had taken a turn for the worse just hours ago. He died at the age of 15 1/2-16 years, just hours before he and I were planning to put together a big breakfast for our family.

...

However, I know in my heart that this is not the end. For so long as I remember him while he was alive, that his spirit shall never leave us. And I also know that he is playing with our Papa/Grandpa with God and the angels...and that Heaven has already improved with his presence there. Life is full of meetings and partings, many of which have and will shape our futures and how we continue to push on in life. And neither my family nor myself will ever forget my little brother, or this first parting that there was among us. While this does little to sooth our grief at his passing, I believe that this was God's intentions; for on the night his holy son was given to this Earth, that his son was here to take my Brother to be at peace with his fellow angels...(clears throat)...

...

So on this Christmas Eve night, I ask all of you to offer your prayers to God to watch over my beloved brother/comrade, and to give a big hug to your family. And in the new year, you continue to love and cherish all those around you, if ever the time comes that God calls your friends/family back to...to where home...was always meant to be.

...

Thank you all...and God Bless Us...Everyone!
