Hello Quentin,



Its been four long months since you left us, I hope all is well with you up there in heaven. I know that you have been looking down on us, well, anyway your son Adrian is 6 months old now he looks more like you everyday especially that head of is, he knows how to say mama and dada and he is also walking in his walker. Who would ever think that we would be chasing a 6 month old baby across the room. Mother says that he looks just like you when you were about 15 months old, especially, when Adrian puts his whole fist in his mouth, then he reminds mom of you, but God had other plans for you with him.



Love,



Mom, Jodie, Rashad and myself.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

In My Pocket

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.

Hey Quentin,



I was driving up to Orlando last Wednesday with two other girls from my church. We were going to do a a few dances for the youth conference. On the way there, I began to pray and I looked up to the sky and I asked God to let me see you. I knew your spirit was there and I began to cry. After I finished praying, I opened my eyes and all the fear I had in me from doing the dance went away and I had soo much confidence in myself. You were there in that car when we were driving to Orlando and you were with me when I was on that stage dancing for God. Thank you for that. My faith is getting stronger by the day so I know its only a matter of time when I will be able to call out to you and I will know that you are there. I love you Quentin and I miss you everyday. I asked God to bring our family closer and I ask that you help make it happen.



Always in my thoughts and Prayer

Your Cousin, Darriva

I wanted to say that I love you, and I hope you knew that everyone really loves and misses you. Two months you've been gone, but it seems like eternity. It crazy how you really dont realize how you miss someone until their gone, and when their gone they stay on your mind. Not a day goes by when I don't think about you,or look at your picture. I uploaded some pictures of your son so that everyone can see that you are still with us through him, and when they look at his picture they will always see a part of you.



I know he will brighten our lives like you did and continue to do through our memories of you. I love you and will see you later.

Hi Quentin

It has been two months today since God call you home I went to visit your grave sight.Quentin I can't stop the tears from running down my face I wish I could hold you just one more time are we could have a drink and set back, talk and laugh about what we did the night before. Quentin sometimes I can feel your present with me I turn around and you are not there . If I could turn back the hands of time I would have ask God to take me not you. I know you love your aunt Bernadette, we could be at a club and someone would get in to a fight I could hear you calling my name in I would say here I am under the table and we would laugh. I will end this letter with love and kisses. Your Aunt Bernadette

Hello,



Family, relatives and friends. Love is never having to say "I Love You", it's what you do for each other that means the most. It's a saying that "you will get over things in time", but losing a child, is something you will never get over, as those who have lost children can tell you. Your aches my ease somewhat, but you never get over it. We live today, die tomorrow and return forever. Smokey Robinson said it all "There's a higher power we all answer to, and you heard him calling your name".



Joanne Pittman (mother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend).



Thanks to all.

June 18, 2006

Quentin, today is June 18, 2006 and I wanted to say Happy Father's Day. I just saw your twin Adrian Calvin Proctor get baptised, and everytime I look at him I think of you. I know you were there watching him get baptised, and I know you are so proud of your son. I think of you all of the time, and miss hearing your voice. A part of me is angry, but I know that it was GODS plan, and that I should rejoice the fact that you are with him. So as my heart heals day by day, I find comfort in knowing that you are with him, and knowing that this is not the end, but just the beginning for you. I pray for you and our family all of the time, but I still wish you were here. I guess you can call me selfish, but I rather have you here for just a little while longer, but the LORD needed you more.

I will not harp anymore on how I wish this and that, but what I will do is keep you and my heart, and will wait until I see you again for this is not the end but just the beginning. Until I see you again I will say see you later, and I love you and miss you much.

I don't want to get over your death but you are in a better place, so there's nothing to do but reminice on the times we shared and the memories I have of you. Life was not meant to be fair but GOD knows I wish you were still here. The sad thing is, I think of you more now than I did when you were here on this earth, there are things I wish I would have told you but if you were here, would I have told you??? I have to thank my GOD for what he has done and for what he has in store for us in the future.... until we meet again. Take care and PRAY for me

Gaile and Quinton,

You have my sympathies at the loss of your loved one. Losing one so young at the beginning of life is so hard to understand but we must realize that God's plan and purpose for our lives is in His heart. We have the gifts He allows us to share for sometimes such a short time so we must cherish the time, be it family or friend.

respectfully,

I did not have the honor of knowing Quentin. I do have the honor of knowing his Aunt Gaile. From her expressions of grief and the way she speaks of Quentin, I know he was a remarkable, caring, giving man who will be missed by all who knew and loved him. I also know that he has a loving family who support each other and reach out to each other in love in times of joy and in times of great sorrow.

We are all put on this earth for a reason. As senseless as it seems, Quentin's job on this earth was done and Our Father called him home. While he is gone from sight, he will never be gone from the hearts of those who loved him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and those you love.

Laura Liddell

May 30, 2006

Your aunt Gaile is a dear friend of mine, and her friendship means a lot to me. She told me about your loss, and I am so sorry that you and the rest of your family had to experience this type of senseless tragedy. I pray that your heart and mind will find peace and joy as you recall all of the happy times you spent with Quentin, and that these memories will help you and your family through this trial, until it is time for you to be reunited with him and your beloved family members who have gone on before you. With much love,

God bless to the family,and may God give you all the comfort you will need in knowing that Love for him is carried out through your love for one another.

Quentin, I know that the days are not promised to us and that we are suppose to live each day like its our last. But I don't live that way and it hurts me that I wasn't as close to you as I should have been. It hurts that I never told you that I loved you and how I always felt good whenever you showed your face around the family. I know your looking down on me and now you know what I never had the chance to tell you in person. Let me say it again... I love you. You are with GOD now so I ask that you look over your family with him.



Aunt Joan, I love you and I'm so sorry that you have to live your life without your first born. Find comfort in the fact that your son is special to GOD and he is where he belongs.



Jodie and Shonta, Continue to stay strong for lil Adrian and Danette. My love goes out to all of you.

Quentin,



I am missing you too much.

Quentin everything is okay. There was nothing we could do. We still are saying what if. God needed you that day at that given time and he took you. No matter how many ways we try to change that day by saying what if. I am seeing you as I did that New Years day in the yard at Faye's house. You and Billy came and I saw you. I looked

at you and said boy, you get better looking every time I see you. If I was not your Aunt, I got that smile that I see in all your pictures and you said in that soft spoken voice (you are so crazy).

It's still hard to beleive that you are gone. You are the sunshine of our lives. Adrain and Danette will be loved and taken good care of. Kisses Until we meet again. Love Aunt Jackie....

May 25, 2006

Quentin, I still can't believe that you are gone, and can't begin to tell you how much you are loved and will be missed. I will miss the way you always made me laugh when I did see you, and miss hearing your voice when you would call to see what I am doing. I know that everything happens for a reason, and that you are watching over us. I often wonder why the world is the way it is so I know you are in a better place, but I still want you here with us. We will keep your spirit alive and every time we look at your children we will smile, and think of you.



You are my first cousin, and also a friend who I will never forget, and will always love you. We take so many things for granted in life and I regret that I did not get to see you and tell you this while you were here, but since I know you are here in spirit I will say it now "I LOVE YOU QUENTIN". Rest and peace,and I will see you again one day.



Love your Cousin and Friend

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
