Darlene, I didn’t have the pleasure of meeting your son but as a mother, one can only imagine the depth of your pain. When my sister Connie told me of your loss I was devastated. It’s been so many years since our paths have crossed but know that my prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. May you find comfort in the never changing hands of our Lord.

You are gone too soon. I pray that you did not labor in vain, your dream will not die, your plans will not fail, and your destiny will not be aborted. You shall laugh forever and remain in God's love. May your soul be clean, calm and clear like the early morning water. May the grace of the Almighty support, sustain and supply all your needs according to His riches in glory.
It's okay, be easy.

To the family:
May the memories of Antwain bring you comfort. I'll never forget that amazing smile. I met Antwain several years ago when he was dating my daughter. I remember thinking, he sure does have a sweet smile - the kind of smile that could light up a room and keep it bright long after he was gone. It's fond memories such as this that help us through the hard times. May your memories bring you comfort as well and help you through this most difficult time.
God Bless You,

When I heard about your passing, I really couldn't believe it. Me and April were just talking and laughing about all the times we hung out together and then a couple of days later she called me with the news. I still can't belive it. But I am sure that you are in a better place now watching over all that you loved. You will be missed!
To the family- my prayers are with each and everyone of you. I know that this is a difficult time for you, but be assured that he is now in a place where the troubles of this world is no longer. Take comfort that he is now with our father and you will see him again. May God Bless You All!

Although we haven't spoke in quite sometime for what ever the reason may be I always acknowledged you as my big brother. When we were younger we were a lot closer but that doesn't change the fact that i was always your little sister. I'll miss you more than you could ever imagine. Watch over us as we journey through the rest of our lives here on earth, for the day will come when we will all be together again. This is not a good bye, so I will see you later. Love always your Lil Sis Shanita, your God Mother Peggy, and Family

I was in total shock when I found out about your death. God always takes the best, but I won't question His judgement because He's never been wrong before. I still remember walking the halls of Forestville clowning around with you. You touched my heart in a very special way and I will never forget your warm spirit and loving ways. You will forever be missed by all that were fortunate enough to have known you. Rest In Peace!

Antwain, I've known you since elementary school and you were always the good guy. You know what they always say, the good die young. But you are definately in a better place now. We held a few group prayers, praying for your recovery, but GOD had a better plan for you. My condolences go out to the Simpson family and all that are affected by this tragedy. My husband and I will definately miss seeing you in the hood. We'll be keeping your kids and the rest of the family in our prayers.

To Ms Darlene and Ms. Minnie, please know if there is anything our family can do.please don't hesitate.
Dear Dear Twain, you sweet, respectful, decent young man. I knew when my daughter introduced you to me years ago, I knew you were different from many. (Very Special). I appreciate having known you. I will miss your presence at all of our birthdays, holidays, special occassions that you shared with my family and I. I will never forget you took this old lady to lunch, it meant alot that you took the time and did that. Twain, I will truly miss your smile, your patience, your kindness.The world has lost another GREAT GUY/MAN.
So glad you introduced me to your mother and Grandmother a couple of years ago.
Love and Missing You ALREADY! No worries, GOD has you now!

Twain you will truly be missed! My Prayers and Condolences goes out to your family!!!!!
Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

I would first like to thank the Simpson family for always treating me like family. Antwain and I first met 1/12/99 and from that day forward he was my friend. Antwain I want to thank you for so many things. I thank you for being such a good friend to me long after our relationship. I thank you for listening to my problems and not judging me. I thank you for all of your straight forward advice, because without it I would not be where I am in life today. Watch over us Baby Boy, you have your wings now. May you Rest In Peace.

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 the family and friends of Antwain, he was like a little brother to me. I met him when he was still in High School through my sister Nicole Lee who was his high school sweetheart and he was definitely one of a kind. Though things didn't work out for the two of them, he always held a special place in my heart. May the Lord Bless and keep you in your time of grief. Gods Eternal Blessings, Shelita Fullard
