The middle child of seven (parents: Charles Thomas & Rosa Earnestine Smith Tolbert). I know God's hand leads me, covers me, protects me, and keeps me. David said, 'It was good that I was afflicted; that I may draw nigh to God.' I'm closer to God because of the things I've suffered. God is good! Our oldest son (Travis) is married to his soulmate (Jenene) and they have a gorgeous son (AJ, 04AUG2009) beautiful flower of a daughter (Nanipua, born 26JAN2012) and equally beautiful daughter, Peninamoana (26OCT2013). Our other son (Stephen), went home to be with the Lord on 26MAR2023 from cardiac arrest, leaving his handsome (then, 7 y/o son Zakai Jeremiah Grear, 08FEB2016), Zakai's mother, Jeanell Caree Nicholson (14OCT1990), and us, to carry on (as best we can) without him. I pray God's increase upon our surviving son, and both families, till Jesus returns. My soulmate, Ron, is doing well: still playing bball as often (and as long) as he can; and thankful to God for blessing us in our Primerica business..
