First if all i want to say cousin I love you and you will definitely be missed and remembered. It’s been so long since we’ve spoken and seen each other. The fact that I had plans on reconnecting with you sooner because it had been to long and for that time to have passed me bye is disappointing saddening and aggravating to me. I wish we had stayed in contact with each other as much like we used to do. I feel in my heart that you’re in a better place of love, no worries or pain, and peace. I love you lil cousin 💛🤞🏾🫂💯💐
out heart goes out to you during this lost your Kentucky family are praying for you much love uncle don and aunt delrita badgett
I met Mandelo during my time working in the wind industry, and from the very beginning, you could see God had placed something special in him. He was a hardworking and passionate young man, full of vision, purpose, and a heart that touched those around him. Over the years, our friendship grew strong, and we were blessed to even become business partners for a time. No matter where life took us across the world, we always stayed connected—something I now know was part of God’s plan.
Hearing of his passing broke my heart. It’s hard to understand moments like this, but I trust that God calls His people home in His perfect timing. Mandelo’s life was a blessing, and the impact he made will live on far beyond this world.
Rest in heaven, my brother. I know you are in the presence of the Lord, at peace and free. Until we meet again.
Lord, I pray You wrap Your loving arms around his family. Give them strength, comfort, and a peace that surpasses all understanding. Let them feel Your presence every step of the way.
God bless you all.
Wishing the family peace and comfort during this difficult time. You all will be my prayers.
So sorry for your loss Tanya. Sending our deepest condolences to you and your family.
I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear loved one. May you find comfort and peace in God’s promise to swallow up death forever and wipe the tears from all faces. – Isaiah 25:8 Condolences
