I know that life may seem to be a bit unfair for us at times, especially by how our loved ones are so easily up and taken away. It brings forth alot of memories, pain & tears, but for that life taken, its the beginning of a new life with no pain, stress, worries nor fears. To all of Tone's family, friends and loved ones, just know that he is in a better place and everything is in God's hands and as long as God is in control, he will be at peace and everything is gonna be okay! I will continue to keep you all in my prayer's! As for Tone, this is my time to say Good-bye, you are in a much better place now and I know you're okay, may you Rest in Peace! Dominique

To my cousin Tone,
Even though you didn't get to be in my life for that many years I will carry many memories of you with me always, and even though I don't have any younger siblings- you, Carlos, Derrick and Lisa always felt that way to me. I was only eight when you were born but I can remember holding you and helping your mom feed you. I will miss you and love you forever.
Your cousin, Tasha

Tone was special to many of us at Cedar Mountain High School. I was proud of how he had grown into a man. I was proud to have him in Math classes in the high school and college program. He could always make me smile when I was having a bad day and always had my back.
I pray that his family and friends can find comfort in knowing that he touched many lives though only with us a short time.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Carlos and family:
We are truly sorry about what has happened to your loved one. Your days and nights to come are going to be hard to bear but with the Lord there with each of you, he will be your guide and he will be your strength. Trust in him as you always have because only he know how you feel. The pain is great but trust in God and he will heal you gradually. And remember that although we loved him, God loves him more. God's angel (TONE) is in heaven now watching over you. God bless all of you.

Words can't express the hurt we're feeling right now. You were always happy, always smiling. I remember how I joked with you about how you were the youngest brother but bigger than both big brothers. I know how much you looked up to Los and Dee and it's a shame you were taken away from your family so early. Your niece is going to miss you playing with her and picking on her. I know your nephews will miss you too. I considered you to be my little brother and you will truly be missed. We're family and I will always make sure Lisa, Los, Dee, and your mother are taken care of. Much Love Always.

Los and Family,
Words can't express my sorrow in the loss of Tone. Tho there is nothing that can take away the pain and emptiness, I pray you will find comfort in knowing Tone was very loved and will be missed. Please stay strong and use Faith to pull you through. I am so sorry for your family to have to endure this pain.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.And alway remember that the Bland's from Petersburg Va are with you Dr. Smooth
Music, when soft voices die
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

Family: Death is something that we are never prepared for. No matter how the death may come for our love ones. The pain never goes away but, with each new day you learn to deal with it. But, when the tears come let them and enjoy the memories that you have. Remember that earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal. Our prayers are with you during your time of bereavement. When days seem to get you down,
and tears you cannot hide.
Just reach out to Jesus...
Solace, He will provide.
When frowns are outnumbered,
by smiles you'd rather see.
Reach out to Jesus...
for He, will bring you glee.
You feel you have hit bottom;
No answers come your way.
Reach out to Jesus...
He'll hear you as you pray.
When you're sad and feel forlorn,
and no one is by your side.
Reach out to Jesus...
With Him, you can confide.
Rest assured that He would be,
the answer you’ve been seeking.
Just reach out to Jesus...
and listen as He is speaking.
Upon the Cross of Jesus,
my eyes at times can see,
the dying form of the One,
who suffered there for me.
He walked the path of Calvary,
a crown of thorns upon His head.
Nails driven in His hands and feet,
Oh, how He suffered and bled.
To save us from our sins,
He died for you and me.
Upon a wooden cross,
made from a Dogwood tree.
On the third day He arose
and went to Heaven above,
with the promise He’ll return,
and show us God is love

Tone...I remember the first time I saw you. Los use to brag about you all the time. So, when you finally came home I could see the excitement in his face. You use to always come outside playing and talking trash to me calling me the girl next door. I never thought that I would come outside and not see you there. I'm sorry that our time was cut short and I didn't get to know you better. But it was your time to go and you're in a better place. My deepest sympathy goes out to your family.I'm sincerely going to miss you Tone.
