To Oscar's Friends and Family:
Oscar touched many lives while he was here and will continue to touch lives while he is gone. I did not personally know Oscar, though he is from my hometown, but I still feel as if it were someone from my own blood that left us that fateful evening. God bless you all and keep you through this difficult time. I hear you asking for peace...therefore, I know the Lord is already with you. People are angry, shocked and hurt, which is understandable, as all of us are only human. However, what we cannot do is forget to pray through those emotions--RIGHT NOW--right when we need it most. I send to you now….my love, deepest sympathies and prayers. I am a living witness that prayer DOES work. Continue to draw your strength from the Lord and live as He has asked you to, no matter WHAT forces the enemy will bring forward. Remember...no weapon formed against you will prosper.
I don’t personally know all of you who are survived by Oscar Grant III, but you are still my brothers and sisters in the Lord. I stand with you now, in love and prayer.
God bless you today, tomorrow and always,
LaDeana Michelle

Please stay in prayer and hold on tight to the love of Christ. I didn't know Oscar personally, but I am sure he was a good young man and he is truly missed. This has left a void in many of us. My prayers are with you and your family at this time. PEACE.

My most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Oscar. Although he is in a better place the rest have been left here with a void. I did not know Oscar personally however my teen children and friends did (neighborhood mom). My son father had known Oscar since he was about 5yrs old (old neighbors). From all I have heard warm stories understanding that he will be truly missed. May God place peace in all of the hearts that were left behind with sorrow.

To the Mother,
My heart goes out to you at this time. I know what you are going through as my sister and I went through this pain with her son. I have been there for so many mothers and I just wanted to be here for you also.
From the smile that your son has on his face shows me that he was a wonderful son. I know that God will hold you in his arms as he is doing right now with your son.
We here in Minnesota want you to know that we have signed petitions for justice for your son.
May God Bless and keep your family.

Death, be not proud
Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.

To Oscars Family & Friends. May God shine his light upon you/us as he has already received his perfect Angel in Heaven. May you receive some comfort knowing that so many people in this world have been effected by Oscars journey in life and his legacy will live on in his daughter. My family has been deeply touched by this young man growing up in the Palma Ceia neighborhood attending Mt. Eden HS & playing sports together.

Oscar-
You know by now how much I've been thinking about this tragedy and how affected I have been by it. I know we only knew each other through the competition of athletics. What stands out to me is the respect that we had for each other. Please watch over me and help me become a better man. I appreciate you and I am heartbroken because you are not here physically with the ones that you love. Although I am having a difficult time expressing myself through words, I know you can read my mind and feel my heart now. Until we meet again my brotha through Christ....
Rest in peace bruh always in our hearts and never forgotten.your memories will be with us 4 ever juz me de hayward califa's
