~ Acknowledgements ~
When family and friends walk with us on a trail that we must keep, our burdens seem less heavy, and hills are not so steep. The weary miles pass swiftly, taken in a joyous stride. All the world seems brighter when friends walk by your side. You came to say goodbye; you came to share with us. You came because you loved her too. With sincere gratitude and love, we would like to acknowledge all of the many family and friends who opened up their hearts to us. May you continue to receive God’s unwavering love and blessings for your thoughtfulness. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ~The Family

he moment that you died my heart was torn in two, one side filled with heartache, the other died with you.
1254 East Shelby Drive
I often lie awake at night, when thw world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane, with tears upon my cheeks. Remember you is easy, I do it everyday, but missing you is heartache that never goes away. I hold you tighly within my heart and there you will remain. Until the jouous day arrives, That we will meet again.

he day you left and gained your wings my heart just broke in two I wish you could have stayed with me But Heaven needed you You left me with the memories And I love you dearly still No matter how much time goes by You know I always will You were a very special person With kindess in your heart And the love we had together Grows stronger now we’re apart. I know I cannot bring you back Although I wish it everyday But a piece of me went with you The day you went away

O
ur hearts have grown closer with the passing of time. Through ups and downs of life, we’ve come to understand what it means to have each other. Sometimes we talk often... Sometimes no. It doesn’t seem to matter-the feelings of doseness remain with me because I know you are always there. We love you Sister From: Your Brother, Rickey

od saw you were getting tired and a cure was not to be, So he put his arms around you and whispered, “Come with Me.”
With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer and saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, we could make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
Love, DeAndrea, DeAndre, DeVonte, Kareem & Marreco
