The years without you do not become easier, but rather we have become stronger. We have done this by learning to cherish what you left ‘in us’ rather than ‘with us.’
There will always be new music. New songs. But a TRUE ‘Hit’...will for- ever stand the test of time. This is why you will NEVER be forgotten and always loved...by your fa- ther, mother, children, grandchildren, family, friends and the city you so graciously served and cherished.
IN MEMORY OF

Well, Mr. Yogi, as I said before, I cannot say Happy An- niversary, but instead, what an anniversary.
It has been 16 years and the case remains unsolved. We are still hurting and will never give up fighting for justice. We miss you dearly and you will never be forgotten, you
will always be remembered.
And, I will continue to fight for justice. R.I.P. and S.I.P. Mr. Yogi, you are tremendously loved by: your Big Sista,
T. O., Big Brutha, A. C., your parents, siblings, and your family who will forever love you, Boo!
