Thank you Jimmy. You have always been there for me in time of need. Even when I didn’t know who to turn to, or when I didn’t know who to trust, you were always there. If not for you, I would not be where I am today. You have always shown me that you cared and have supported me like a pillar through almost everything. I am at a loss for words when I try to express what you mean to me. I couldn’t have wished for a better brother or father figure. I want to always keep the memories we’ve made, both the good and bad ones. I hope to learn from them and use them to help lead others who may get lost along the way. Thank you for your tutoring. You helped God mold me into the man that I am today. Your love for me will be forever engraved in my heart, forever lingering in my mind, and forever mine to cherish. The times when I wanted to give up or was confused about my life’s ambition or career, you struggled through most of it with me. You stood with me even when I needed just to be still. Through you I have learned never to give up. I\'ll always carry your words with me. They lift me up when I am down, and when life\'s struggles get to me. All that you have taught me has become part of the foundation of my very being. Your words have been like stepping stones when I get weary and go astray. To my teacher, my tutor, my protector, and my best friend: Thank you Jimmy for being all of this to me and more. Above all, your greatest contribution and demonstration of love to me was introducing me to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Until we see each other again your little brother and protege Marcus
