Son , the time has come, no one knew it would come so soon. You lived your life on earth now its time to join me at the final destination. We all enjoyed the years we were able to share with you. Now the family must let you go physically and keep you spiritually. You’ve balled out and won your race. Welcome home son. They will cry and miss you but you’re safe and home with your dad. Your Angel Dad

You may be out of my sight, but you will never be out of my heart. I may not see your face, but I will always remember your smile. I will never hear your voice again, but you will forever whisper in my ear. I never got to say goodbye to you or tell you how much you really meant to me. One day we’ll meet at Heaven’s gates, and will be with you again. This time will be forever, SON. Your Mom

I remember everything you told me. You just wanted to see me win. This will always be stuck on my mind, knowing I ain’t gone see my only brother pull up on me smiling fly asf. My dawg why did you have to leave us like this big bro, this forever your world. Watch over us I still can’t believe you gone brother. You’re in a better place now. I’ll never forget about the good days we had twinnn. I love you with all my heart BIG SD WORLD. I know you forever with me baby. I’m hurt 4L! #LLMB. Cheeath

My brother was my first male friend. My brother was my best friend. No one will ever understand my craziness like my brother. My brother was my cousin. My brother was my life line. My brother was the world of my world. My brother was that MAN! Oh how I’m going to miss you. You put a hole in my heart that will never heal! Your First Love, Mia

You held our hands when we were small. You caught us when we fell. You are the hero of our lives. Every time we think of you our hearts smiles. Though we will always miss you. We know you’re by our side every step of the way. We love you and miss you Daddy. Your Two Princesses

Of all the many blessings. However great or small, to have had you for my nephew was the greatest one of all. The family chain is broken now and nothing will seem the same. But as God takes us one by one, the chain will link again. So until we meet again one day. I’ll hold you in my heart. The love I have for you will never ever part. I’ll love you forever De’Vante.

When your beautiful heart stop beating, our hearts just broke in two. Knowing that here on earth, there will never be another like you. Your Grandparents

Brother, you went away so suddenly, no time to say goodbye but siblings can’t be parted. LLSD, SDWORLD. Your Siblings

Cousin to Cousin We’ve made a lot of memories. Even in the darkest days you meant the world to me and always had my back. You treated me like a little sister and I thank you for that. I LOVE you cousin. Tania

Nephew, you left physically but spiritually you will carry me along the way. I miss you boy. Mookie

Miss Me But Let Me Go When I come to the end of the road And the sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloom-filled room Why cry for a soul set free?

Miss me a little-but not too long And not with your head bowed low Remember the love that we once shared Miss me-but let me go For this is a journey that we all must take And each must go alone. It's all part of the Master's plan A step on the road to home When you are lonely and sick of heart Go to the friends we know And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds Miss me but let me go.

1994 — 2022

During these trying hours, the presence of friends, family and loved ones have been one our sustaining elements. Your prayers have increased our faith. Your words have encouraged our sad hearts. Your presence has given us an arm to lean on. Your food has helped us to maintain our strength, the fragrance of flowers, the gifts, the thought of every card, the visits and the phone calls added a touch of beauty to a setting that was full of gloom and because of you the burden that seemed so heavy is lighter now.
