Hey Fats, I'm sure you enjoyed the visit from me & Tara yesterday as much as we enjoyed it. I hope you like the headstone. It took longer than I wanted for the guy to finish it, but it looks good. We're planning on stopping by again tomorrow @ 6pm. Hopefully others will be joining us. I wish I could stop by on Monday, but I have to be back at work in Atlanta by then. I miss you sooooo much. I want you to know that you will forever be in our hearts.

It's been a month to the day since your voice was last heard here on earth. There's not a day that passes that I don't think about you. Some tell me that it will get easier as time passes, but they don't know the heaviness of my heart. I miss hearing you say, "but Aunt Sherri,.." and ".. for real though..". I love you Fats and I miss you so much.

Honestly nephew I don't what to actually say. It was 1989 when I first met you. My sister your Aunt Joyce brought you over to our house on Sidney St along with Snoopy and Gerald. I was amazed cause I didn't know that my Brother David had any children and you were already 5 years old. I'd never forgot about you, but it was later I was reunited with you and then Terrance through my daughter's mother in 2002 when I lived on Hudson and Durnan. All three of us were shocked cause we all resembled that Jackson trade mark. I saw you through the years not as much as I should've but you were always respectful and very much humble. I do thank God and Jesus for giving the moments I did have to know you. When we would see each other on the bus or on the block. You would say what Unc and I reply what up little David I know Fats was and is your name but you looked so much David that's what I called you. We were only seven years apart and it feels so painful cause man you had a lot going for you. But I can only reflect on the positive cause you would want that. May God have mercy on my nephew's soul and have mercy both sides of his family. I love you and God knows I miss you. Your Uncle Steven One Love Fats

Dear Family,
You are all in my prayers, you are not alone, there is a very present help in times of need his name is Jesus and you can call him anytime he is never too busy or unavailable. David will be missed but keep him alive in your hearts and in your memories. May you know the comforter that Jesus promised to send during this time of loss and may the perfect peace of God keep your hearts and your minds.

Fats used to live in the apartment behind me growing up on Ernst St. He was a big flirt. Always was. Even on days when i felt like the world was against me I would hear Fats say "Lookin good today. When are you gonna give me that number?" and I would instantly smile or laugh. He loved the people that he knew and he loved his family more than anything. To Terrance, Jason, Ebony, And Jazz please remember that he loved you and now you have two people watchin over you.Please, you must trust and believe that everything will be all right.

David... It hurts me so much to know that you are gone. You had the biggest, brightest smile I will ever see... and now it's gone. But you're memory will keep your family going. God is keeping you now and hopefully one day soon the pain will be gone and we will all be able to rejoice in that. You will be forever loved and missed

When I saw you at birth I instantly fell in love with you and that is when I nick named you Fats with those chubby cheeks. You were my 1st nephew, of my brothers. The days and weeks that you would come and stay with me, the joy that you brought our family was a great time. We loved you like you were mind. You have always had a part in my heart and I will miss you very much. I will see you again and we will rejoice in the sight of God.
All of our love from Bay, Erica, Jerrell, Jayden, and Jayvin Barideaux.
