To My Brother…..
Missing You
Missing you so much words could never explain.
My life is so different; I know it will never be the same.
My mind often wonders off with thoughts of you.
I try to smile but I always feel so blue.
I try to remember the happy times but all I do is cry.
I just continue to have one thought
I didn’t know that would be our final “GOODBYE”
When I talked to you that very morning of your last day.
I just thought to myself; oh I’ll see him on Saturday.
Not knowing that would be your last day.
I just wish I could hear you say; answer the phone `Lene it’s me; your brother.
I pray to God that I will see you and Mike Ezie again.
But Until then I’ll be Missing You!!
Love you My Silkness
Today, Tomorrow & Forever…..Muah!!!

Lance Marquis Smith : ( My bestfriend)
I always think about you and our past memories, like in High School (crazy, lol O so funny ) I thought you were such a comedian and now your goofiness has rubbed off on our kids Aiyanah and Keon. Lord know these kids have me tripping alot because I know Im goofy but they get alot of their humor from you. Aiyanah always ask me to play step in the name of love because she said mommy thats my daddy favorite song. I tell her you are right. At times when Im listening to the radio it takes me back to different periods of memories in my life we shared together. Yes it does hurt because you are not here because I always looked forward to the phone calls everyday and hearing your voice . I never thought that i would be saying to myself it seem like it just happened yesterday when Lance pasted away. Everyday I look at Aiyanah and Keon I see your face. It is a blessing to have them in my life( your splitting images). Well Love and Miss you so Much and you will always have that SPECIAL PLACE in our hearts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE Aiyanah , Keon , Crystal

HEY LIL BROTHER.... I LOVE YOU SOOOO MUCH.... CAN'T STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU. EVERYONE SAYS WE STILL HAVE YOU BECAUSE MARQUIS LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU. I WAS THINKING TO MYSELF THIS MORNING IF SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME A YEAR AND NINE MO.S AGO THAT YOU WOULDN'T BE HERE TODAY. I WOULD'VE DISPUTED THEM TO THE END. I USE TO HEAR OTHER PEOPLE TALK OF LOSING A BROTHER OR SISTER--- SAYING THAT ONCE A LINK IS MESSING IT'S NEVER THE SAME....AND THAT IS SO TRUE...BECAUSE OUR MOST IMPORTANT LINK IS MISSING....THE ONLY BOY....OUR BROTHER. THIS IS JUST SO HARD FOR ME!! LOSING AUNT MURLENE WAS HARD AND THAT WAS 12 YRS AGO AND I STILL CRY LIKE SHE LEFT YESTERDAY....SO WITH YOU GONE IT'S LIKE AN OPEN WOUND THAT WILL NOT HEAL. I JUST WISH YOU WERE STILL HERE...I KNOW THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE IT'S JUST HOW I FEEL...............

Lance I can't stop seeing your face and those simply beautiful eyes of yours. We miss you so so much. I couldn't hold back the tears at work yesterday. I try not to breakdown at work but you were on my mind so heavy yesterday. Just thinking about you Lance the person and about how much you were loved and how many lives you touched with your charm. You were and will always be one of the best young men I know. I often tell your nephews they have a lot of work to do...to be like you. Sometimes they do well then at other times I have to wonder...!! Our parents raised you right...you were raised to be respectful, honest and hardworking. And you fit them all perfectly. I still wonder why you had to leave so soon. You were one of the BEST!! I saw Pee-Wee Saturday and he resembles you so so much…the height and braids….that broke me down. He has a nice tattoo in memory of you. Nobody can believe that you’re gone. I hate to look and Mama and Dad faces because I see an emptiness that no one can replace. I can’t stop saying it but I miss you and Love you….today, yesterday and FOREVER!!!!

THE QUALITY OF IT.....WAS JUST SOMETHING SPECIAL!!! IT WAS A GIFT TO BE CHERISHED, FOR IT HAD GREAT VALUE THEN AND WOULD BE WORTH A LOT IN TIME TO COME! (THAT'S WHY WE KEPT YOU) :) YOU WERE A BEAUTIFUL GIFT THEN AND YOU ARE NOW AND FOREVER...ON APRIL 1ST, 2ND, 25TH, MAY, JUNE, SEPT, OCT, DEC....ALWAYS!!!!!

HEY LANCE. I WAS SITTING HERE TALKING ABOUT YOU TO ONE OF MY FRIENDS. TELLING HER HOW MUCH I MISS YOU AND I LOVE YOU. I CANT GET YOU OUT OF MY HEAD. I MENTION YOUR NAME ALMOST EVERYDAY. I HAVE A FRIEND THATS PREGNANT AND SHE DIDNT KNOW I HAD A BROTHER NAMED LANCE. AND SHE JUST CAME OUT THE BLUE AND STARTED CALLING HER BABY LANCE. AND I JUST LOOKED AT HER LIKE.....WOW. I ASKED HER WHY SHE WANNA NAME HER BABY LANCE AND SHE DONT EVEN KNOW WHAT SHE'S HAVING. SHE SAID SHE LIKES THE NAME LANCE :) IT'S A VERY SPECIAL NAME BUT NO MATTER WHAT THERE IS ONLY ONE LANCE MARQUIS SMITH. I LOVE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH THAT WORDS CANT EXPLAIN.
March 11, 2010
Hello Son
It's been a while but not a day goes that you are not on my mind, I carry you in my spirit and that's a wonderful place to be. I miss you so much words can never explain how I miss you so so so much. people take for granted when your any age because you seem ok that you will be around forever that always our hope but we don't control our destiny's only God does, but that does not take all the hurt and pain away when our love ones or friends leave us but it really means for us first as a family to pull closer together, like Dad always would say some one must be the bigger person,second we must forgive all wrongs imposed by who ever
inflicted it God forgives everyday for all things we do so whats the problem with us forgiving as we should, we only
need to let go and not stay in turmoil thats all it does.third the greatest of all with must love that the greatest gift of all.Lance you had of love for all things and all mankind your love for me was like no other and I thank you it brings tears of joy and wonderful thoughts.So if others could love with that same kind of love what a
powerful force we all world possess in this society, that why I said God forgives for our thoughts, our actions,our pridefulways, our stubborness and the list goes on you know the rap. We were sorry Mike left us but I know you in him are rapping in heaven making good tunes for the Lord, be sure and tell James Brown and
Luther Vandross and Lavert I said hello
they will truly help you two with some glorious tunes. Well son in afew weeks you will 28 wow how time really flies I
thank God for the most wonderful 26 yrs
a Mom could ever ask for. I spoke to your kids the other week they really growing up I finish school this semester I plan to spend some quality time with them if God will permits they
are so much like you that soft and serene spirit I love you very very much
will write again soon now that I know how to move around in the sight.
Love You With all Heart MOM

AIYAUNA LOOKS JUST LIKE YOU ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE SMILES. AND KEON IS JUST LIKE YOU LOL ITS FUNNY CAUSE BEFORE ALL WE COULD SEE WAS CRYSTAL WHEN WE LOOKED AT THEM. BUT I GUESS GOD IS TRYING TO DO THE FAM A FAVOR WHERE WE CAN SEE YOU WITHOUT ACTUALLY SEEING YOU. YES IT WILL NEVER EVER EVER BE THE SAME WITH YOU NOT BEING HERE BUT WITH KEON AND AIYAUNA WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE A PART OF YOU.

I been thinking here lately bout the crazy things u use to do. The way you use to keep me rolling all the time and now your son Keon has taken on that same characer from you, always joking and acting silly. He is getting big and tall and boy he can eat. Always wondering if he is going to be your height . He is looking more and more like you each day. And Miss Aiyanah, looks like your twin everyday all day. Misses her bestfriend ,who was also my bestfriend ,her daddy.never forgotten. They always ask about you They always say mommy we miss our daddy. You are loved and miss greatly. Always told myself don't know what we'll do without u in our lifes and I feel it bad because my best friends not here . We love u Lance .

WHEN I THINK ABOUT MIKE EZIE I THINK OF A KIND HEARTED PERSON THAT WAS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ANYBODY.

One year later…..last year this time I didn’t know; I would be sitting here saying my brother is gone. When I talked to you the morning of Wednesday, October 22, 2008; I had no idea that would be the last morning or time I would ever speak to you again. I went to bed thinking that you were okay and was woke up 1 o’clock in the morning being told that you were gone.
I started to feel butterflies in stomach once September first came because I knew that October had to come too. Like I said before “I use to be so happy to see October come” but not this year. I was dreading even seeing October because I know this day had to come. I wish SO bad that you were still here with us but one thing that makes me feel a little better. Is that you are ALIVE somewhere in a place that is far more SPECIAL and I know that you are so happy and you are being appreciated for the person you are. Lance I miss you so so much and a day will NEVER go by that I don’t think of my little brother.
RIP…Lance Marquis Smith…April 1, 1982-October 22, 2008

We'll say a prayer and release the balloons and put some flowers down for you. We love you Lance and you are missed so much. I can't believe this. I don't even know what to say right now. Well keep on smiling. Love your wife

Hello my dear and wonderful son it will be a year on tommorrow, it was only last year on Wednesday 6:00 in the morning when you called and told me you were so tired of everything and you were going to make some positive changes in your life. You said Mama when you get off the phone will you please pray for me, I told you no such thing, I will pray for you right now, never ever knowing it would be the last time I would be praying for my son. That nite to get that call it took my breath I could not speak could not even
breath, when did you no me to be speechless, but it happens to the best of us. No what I felt then or even now
I must know that God does not make mistakes I know you are alive up that in that mansion in the sky. No more crying there, no heartache, no pain,no
disappointments, just joy unspeakable. Son you brought me so much joy an I thank you, I thank God for the 14 months you lived with me, even though you were under the weather at times you
were with me it was such a blessing I do remember our conversations our jokes
and laughter most of all I miss the love and kind words of my son but I have those wonderful memories that will last forever and most of my dear son I carry you in my spirit and my heart. I don't write everyday but I no what I feel and I no how hard its been to come here to this site but God's grace is very sufficient. I thank you for being the world's best son in the whole wide world, He broke the mold when He made you. I thank God for my child. I love you so much and I missssssssssss you so very very much.
LOve MOM
