ANTHONY REED Love you, the family.
IN MEMORY OF
NATHANIEL R. O’NEAL, III B.K.A. MR. YOGI 3/22/1971 – 4/2/2003
Well Yogi, here we are again, another sad Father’s Day that should always be happy. Here we are 15 years now since your life was stolen from us senselessly and no one been held accountable for the cowardly act yet, and it’s a damn sad shame!
And it’s so pathetic that we haven’t gotten any closure, any help, any comfort, any justice, and any peace!
We are still counting on hope and prayers. You know this is so crucial that the devastating pain in our hearts is still pounding our brains.
Why is it so hard to get a conviction to properly close this case. My mom and dad at least deserve that. This is unset- tling and very painful. I’m sure you would want your family member’s murder case to be solved! This is a murder case. Do we need to be rich in order to get help! Unbelievable!
Well, God please touch someone’s heart to at least step up to the plate anonymously to help me and my family to close my brother’s case properly with actual facts and truths to my brother, Yogi’s killing.
This should not go on another 5, 10, or 15 years. We need to have closure for my parents. I do not want them to leave this earth not knowing who killed their child! Please help!
So, with this being said, what a sad Father’s Day for my Mr. Yogi. We wish you were here to celebrate it with you properly. But, you will forever be in our hearts and minds, Boo, and you will not ever, never, ever, be forgotten.
From your Big Sister, T. O., and brother, AC.
