To My Brother Kenny, I loved you so much, just like any brother Not only you, also our mother.

I can’t believe that you’re really gone, Until I’m here home all alone.

I sit on my bed, and wiped the tears away, After saying to myself “I won’t see you today” But it hurts so bad, I begin to cry again and again Then I asked myself, Why? You are a strong young man God had a better place for you to be, so He came to take you away from me.

I’m not mad, He always knows what’s best.

He will now take you and put your soul to rest.

Brother, rest in peace, with our Father above.

I will remember you always, forever, Kenny…

- With Love Your Brother Dra

To My FamilyI Am Always With You When I am gone, release me. Let me go.

I have so many things to see and do.

You mustn’t tie yourself to me with tears.

Be thankful that we had so many good years.

I gave to you my love. You can only guess How much you gave to me in happiness.

I thank you for the love you each have shown, But now it’s time I traveled on alone.

So grieve a while for me, if grieve you must.

Then let your grief be comforted by trust.

It’s only for a while that we must part, So cherish the memories within your heart.

I won’t be far away, for life goes on.

So if you need me, call and I will come.

Though you can’t see or touch me, I’ll be near.

And if you listen with your heart, You’ll hear all my love around you soft and clear.

And then, when you must come this way alone, I’ll greet you with a smile and a “welcome home…”

- Love Kenny

In Loving Memory of My Son If roses grow in Heaven Lord Please pick a bunch for me.

Place them in my baby’s arms and tell him they’re from me.

Tell him I love him and miss him so, and when he turns to smile, Place a kiss upon his cheek And hold him for a while.

Because remembering him is easy, I do it every day, but there’s an ache within my heart That will never go away.

I will always love you and think about you…….

- Love Mom

Our Dad in Heaven If we could write a story It would be the greatest ever told Of a kind and loving father Who had a heart of gold We could write a million pages But still be unable to say, just how Much we love and miss him Every single day We will remember all he taught us We’re hurt but won’t be sad Because he’ll send us down the answers And he’ll always be our dad,

- Love Lil Kenny, Jaylen, Serenity, and Baby Dontae
