  1. Bro. Tchet,

    Words can not describe how shock I am to find out you have passed on. I remember meeting you in the summer of 1994 in North Philly. You was extremely funny, laid back, and had a strong love for our culture. I will never forget your spirit and may the Supreme Being, Angels, and ancestors bless your spirit and return. Until we meet again. I love you.
