To my Big Brother, we shared a lifetime together, this seems unreal and broke my heart. I’m going to miss your calls, hugs, the laughs and especially the I love you lil sis, you are in a better place now. No more pain and suffering. You were always my protector and soldier. I will cherish our memories always God don’t make mistakes to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, we will see each other again. Love you always.

Love, Lil Sis

Don’t grieve for me, for now I am free, I am following the path God laid for me. I took His hand when I heard Him call; I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day. To laugh, to love, to work or play. Task left undone must stay that way; I found that peace at the close of day.

You can shed tears that he is gone. Or you can smile because he lived. You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back, Or you can open your eyes and see all he has left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him, Or you can be full of the love you shared, You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he is gone, Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on. You can cry, close your mind, be empty and turn your back, Or you can do what he would have wanted, Smile, open your eyes.

We Love You, Your Loving Niece and Nephew

Though distance kept us worlds apart, a fathers love lives in the heart. Through ups and downs, and trials we faced, a bond, though distant, can’t be erased. In every memory, however small, I find your love, your care in all, though closeness may not have been our fate, in my heart, you’ll forever resonate. In your passing, I find space, to ponder life and its endless grace. With gratitude, I remember you, for the moments we shared, however few.

My Son, God saw that the road was becoming too rough, the hills too hard to climb. He gently closed his loving eyes and whispered, “Peace be still”, God saw that you were weary. So He did what He knew was best. He came alongside you and whispered, “come and rest my son.” Farewell my son, I will always love you and miss you very much.

Rest In Peace, Mom

Daughter, Ursula

Dear Sherman, My beloved son, know that your Dad loves you deeply and did not want to let go. But I believe that we will see each other again,

With Love, Your Father, Leroy

To My Father, I’m going to miss you, and we all are going to miss you. I’ll miss all your trash talking, your smile and humor. I would be selfish and be mad at you, but I can’t. I’m your twin. I could never see any wrong in you pops. No matter how grown up I am or how big I got, you always treated me like your baby boy. I am forever grateful for you. I’m going to miss that Sherman love. Your grandkids love you and I know you love all 16 of them, I just wish we all had more time with you. We Love You Pops.

We met 8 years ago love at first sight we had so many fun vacation times. I’m going to miss you so much. You will always have my heart and love until we see each other again.

Rest In Heaven Baby Love, Jacike

Jacory

Pops, I just want to thank you for always being around. I’m going to miss you talking trash, telling me how you were going to whoop me. Man, I love you and will definitely miss you. I never thought I would have to live without you. Your Loving Son, KeKe

Daddy, you were more than a Dad, you were my friend. Losing you leaves a hole in my heart that will never be filled. I hate that I didn’t get to spend more time with you and it tears me up that I can’t pick up the phone and call you anymore. You were a great grandfather and I will be sure to keep your memory alive.

I Love You Jacolbi
