Angel, Diamond, Slyck and Family,
Know we are praying for you and with you during this time. I know Al's life was not in vain and God will use his life and sudden death to touch the lives of other young men and women in our family and in this community. My prayer for you Angel is that you will continue to stand, hold fast to your faith and know you will see your son again. Diamond and Slyck, I pray God will comfort you with His peace. To the entire family, hold on to your memories of Al, because as long as you have your memories, Al will live on in you and no one can take that away. Be blessed and know GOD cares and He is with you now and forever.

To Angel, "Dimond" & "Slick", may god be with you in this time of need , remembering shaft seems to always put a smile on my face , he was always a positive person , his appearance stood out his unique walk, talk and laugh, I remember him as someone i could always talk too , I remember we went to church together he was kinda hesitating to go, but after it was over he said "IT WAS AIGHT".....'smile', but all in all, i loved him for him, his raps , his time , and his advice , he was a true friend and someone i trusted, he will truly be missed but never forgotten
................John 14:1-4
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God[; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going.........with love. "lil Michele"
