Hey lil big bro it's ur sister here. As u already know Veronica passed as well, knowing you, you are already taking care of her and protecting her. i miss you sooo much words can not explain how much I do. I havent ben writing that much in your guestbook because it's just to hard for me to. Every time I do write it becomes more and more of a reality to me that your gone. I must confess something to you. I get scared to go to sleep because i get scared Im not going to wake up. Being that you and Veronica have passed the same way in your sleep is ironic and weird. Being that we just lost you and now Veronica boggles my mind so much. I cant wrap my mind around the fact that you both are gone. So young and pure and innocent. I will never understand any of it. Jeremiah's birthday is coming up soon. He will be 1 june 22 but we are throwing his party the 20th. I cant wait and I know you and Veronica will be there. I love you Sheldon and miss you soo much. LOVE YOU ALWAYZ TA'SHIA!!!

Hey Sheldon! Mommy here. I could not bring myself to come to your page to leave a comment for your birthday. Ta'Shia and I along with Jeremiah came to visit you on your birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHELDON!!! It still hurts and is hard for me to believe that you are not here physically with me. I still miss you so much. We bought balloons, flowers and Ta'Shia baked you a cake. We left your cake for you. I will be by tomorrow to visit with you for awhile. William came down for the family reunion and we all came by to see you. It is still so very hard for him. We all miss you so. Well I am going to go for now and will be by tomorrow. Sheldon, know I love you and miss you. All my love always....Your Mom...Sandra

LOL!!! I miss your smile and those dimples and how you always say "Hi Mom. How was your day at work?" and how you use to give me a great big hug. Man oh man you should see Jeremiah!! He is getting so big and he looks just like you!!! It is so amazing and he acts just like you too!!! We all miss you so very much and we know you are watching over us.

Hey Sheldon, It's mommy again. I love you baby and still miss you so much. Well tomorrow is Valentines Day and I wanted to let you know that I will be by to visit you tomorrow. Happy Valentines Day my dear. Know that I love you always and miss you so very much. Man you should see Jeremiah! He is getting so big and it is so strange because he looks just like you!! Dimples and all!! He has a couple of teeth now and is walking around in his walker. He is all over the place!!! Just like you did!! (smile) Sheldon, continue to watch over us until we see each other again. I am still working on trying to get you a headstone. I want to try to have it placed on your birthday. William is suppose to come down for his birthday and he is bringing Keyon. I haven't seen my grandson in so long!! I speak to him on the phone. Everyone is doing ok and your Grandmas said to tell you hello. Mommy misses you so much too. She told me that she wants me to bring her to the cemetery so she can bring flowers. I spoke to your other grandma too. She talks about you all the time also. She said your dad was doing ok. That is good to know. He took your passing very very hard too. We all did. Sometimes I still can't believe you are not here and I can be doing something and just like that you pop in my mind. Then I just sit and think of the times raising you. I was so very Blessed having you. I am so Blessed to have all of you. All 3 of you are the lights of my life. We had so much fun. Sheldon, you were so very smart and such a wonderful son. Sometimes I would think and look at your pictures and I still cry. Sometimes I have to catch myself. Well baby I have to go for now. I'm at work and have to get some done. Tell Niecy and Daddy I said I love and miss them much! Tell Niecy I said Happy Birthday and I will be by to see her too.
Sheldon...HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!! I LOVE YOU SO VERY VERY MUCH!! YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART!! Love you always....Your Mom... Sandra
XOXOXOXOXO-HUGZ & KISSEZ 4 U!!!

Hey Sheldon, Mommy here again. I just wanted to stop by to let you know as always you are on my mind. I still miss you so much and my heart still aches. I will be by this weekend to visit and bring you some more flowers. I am working on getting up the money to get you a headstone. Well the New Year came in and I was at home. Aunt Eartha and Uncle Dale came by and bought the New Year in with me. It was pretty quiet. You should see Jeremiah!! He is getting so big! He looks just like his Uncle Sheldon!!! Dimples and all!!! Ta'Shia and Jeremiah came back down last week Tuesday. Guess what?? I drove to NY on Saturday and got a puppy from Sho-Sho. She is pretty. I named her Majestic. I got back yesterday. Man you should see all that snow up there! It snowed while I was there and when I was ready to come home I had to dig my car out and then it wouldn't start. Jerome gave me a boost and it started. It was so cold that everything in the car was frozen. I stopped by to see Uncle Lenell and he is trying to come down to visit. Baby I am going to go now. You know how I get. LOL..I could write a book. Well know we all miss and love you so very much Dear Son...Until I get to write again...be good, continue to watch over us and I Love You Dearly...With Everlasting Love Always....Your Mom...Sandra

Hey Sheldon. Mommy here. This year is ending at midnight tonight and I miss you more than ever. I am all moved into the new house. Oh how I wish you were here with me. My heart still hurts. Son I miss you so very much but I know God has you with him. Tell your Aunt Niecy and Granddad I said hello and happy New Year. I miss you all so very much. William came down for Christmas but had to leave on Christmas day because he had to work the next day. We came out to see you on Christmas too. This is the first time Will has been to the cemetery since your funeral. He took it so hard. He wanted me to leave him alone with you so I walked to the car. I heard him talking with you. He misses you so much and I pray he is coping well. Chermone and all your friends went to visit you at Roselawn on Christmas also. Everyone misses you so. Your warm smile, those irresistable dimples and your lovable self. I look at your pictures all the time. Ta'Shia and Jeremiah should be in NY by now. They got there at 2pm. Joseph's father passed away on Sunday. His funeral will be on Saturday. I am debating whether to drive up to NY. I am getting a dog from Sho-Sho. I am naming her Majestic. I think you would like her. She is gray and white. Well son I have to get back to work. We are getting off early today at 3. I will be by the cemetery to see you again this weekend. Sheldon I love you son always and forever. With Love...Your Mom...Sandra

Hey Sheldon, mommy here again. It is Christmas Eve and I am sitting here thinking about you. I was thinking about all the Christmases when you would be the first one awake so you could open all your presents. Remember when you use to come into my room to wake me up? You couldn't wait to see what you got. Man the look on your face when you would tear the paper off!! And that smile!!! And those dimples!! WOW!!! I would be so happy to see you, Ta'Shia and William's faces!! Baby, my heart still hurts because you are not here with me. I still think about you all the time. Baby I miss you so much!! William is down here with me so I wouldn't be alone for Christmas. Ta'Shia and Jeremiah is in Colorado with his other grandma for Christmas. Sheldon, I will be at the cemetery tomorrow on Christmas to see you. This Christmas is a very very sad one for me. I miss you so much. I know you are watching over us until we are together again. Tell Aunt Niecy and Granddad we said Merry Christmas and we miss and love them too. My heart hurts so bad. I love you so much my dear son and know that you are and will always be in my heart. Well, I have to get back to work now. Oh, I moved from London Towne. It was so hard for me to keep passing that hospital, seeing your friends and just being in that house without you there with me. I will cherish the memories we had there though. My new place is nice. I think you would like it. I will visit you tomorrow. Hugs & Kisses from me to you. Merry Christmas Sheldon. Love you always....your mom....Sandra

Hey there Sheldon. Mommy here. Baby I still miss you so much and my heart still hurts. I am trying to cope with not having you here with me but it is really really hard. I still cry at night and sometimes just all at once. Sheldon, I always think about how you have grown into a handsome young man and how you took care of me and I took care of you while we lived here in VA. I came out to see you on Thanksgiving and will be there to visit you on Christmas. Ta'Shia and I came and bought you flowers. Thanksgiving was not the same without you here. I can't afford it right not but I am praying and trying to see if I can get some money to get you a headstone. Most times I still can't believe you are gone but I know you are near because I can feel your presence all around me. You were my bodyguard remember? You use to always watch out for me to make sure I was safe and I use to say that I was your bodyguard and watched over you. Please continue to watch over us until we are together again. I love you with all of my heart my dear son. I will be back by to write again soon. This Christmas will not be the same without you here. Love You Always.....Your Mom...Sandra (Hugs & Kisses)

Hey there Sheldon! Mommy here. I wanted to stop by and let you know that I miss you more and more each day. I love you so much my son and I know you know that. My heart aches because you not here with me but I know you are looking down on us. Man you should see your nephew Jeremiah! He is getting so big. Just so you know he inherited your dimples!!! Yes all 4 of them!! LOL...As Ta'Shia says you're his guardian angel. I will be by again soon to visit you. Everyone is coming down for Thanksgiving. It will not be the same without you here with us but I know you will be here spiritually with us. Your big brother William is trying to hang in there. He finally got to write in your Guest Book and I am so proud of him!! He is having a hard time dealing with his little big brother not being here with him but I pray for all of your brothers and sisters every day. He is getting stronger and coping. And you know he is busy working all the time. There is so much to tell you!! I taught Ta'Shia how to make shrimp like you do. It was good but not as good as yours. You know you know how to put together those shrimp and linguini!!! MMMM Good!!! Well I am going to go for now. I will be by Roselawn to visit you again soon. I love you with all my heart my dear son!!! Always Your Mom...........Sandra

It took me a long time to write this because I am still in disbelief that you are gone. I love you so much Sheldon and always carried you close to my heart. I miss you so much and dream about you all the time. Each time feels as if you're right there with me and I hate the fact that when I wake up you're not there. Sheldon you are everything that a big brother would want from a little brother. You're smart, fun to be around with and can always make a person smile just by looking at them. I can't and probably will never understand why God took you from us. But I do know that you are one of his many angels now and will forever watch over us until it is our time to reunite. And that time will come. Alot of times I can't smile or think straight because you are all I am thinking about. I love you and miss you so much bro. Your BIg Brother, William Earl Frank....... You may be gone but will never be forgotten.

Hey Sheldon,
Mommy here. I just wanted to let you know that I love you so much. Not a day that goes by that I do not think of you. I miss you so much baby. I know I will get to see you again Sheldon. I miss your smile, oh my God those dimples! I miss having you sneak up behind me and saying "Hey Mom! How was your day". Your sister Ta'Shia and your new nephew Jeremiah has moved down here to be with me so I won't be so lonely without you here with me. We all love you so much and I know you know that. Ta'Shia, Jeremiah and I went to the cemetery and visited you for a while when they got down here. We will be back very soon. I am hoping this weekend. Janine told me how Chermone, Jovan and all of your friends come to hang and chat with you once a week every week. That is so nice of them. You have very nice friends and we are all blessed to have you in our lives. Well son, I am going to go now before I write a book!Smile!!! :-) I'll be by the cemetery to see you soon. Love You Always............Your Mom

This pain we bear, we must endure

We know in our hearts
We'll see you again
Love you always Sheldon...Mommy

To My Loving Nephew

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
Love You Always,
Uncle Lenell

Dear Chris aka Big Poppa

The hardest part of being in a family is when it is time to say goodbye. As much as we might like things to stay the same, change is an inevitable part of life. There is a secret that only close family members know and it is this. All the mountains and valleys in the world cannot separate family whose hearts are as one.

God Bless You and Your Family
