I can remember getting up early in the morning fixing cereal and watching cartoons with you. Then my mom would get up and fix us breakfast. You would never cry when you would awake, you would just patiently wait for me to come with your arms out and say huh huh. You started to call my mom 'Honey' when you started talking, same name you called your late grandma. You was the best baby, biggest smile, funny and smart. You were more of a little brother to me and your Mom and Dad would affectionately say my mom was your other mom. You loved to wear your Dad's cologne as a toddler. Your parents would drop you off before they went to work and the first thing you would say to my mom ' huh smell me Hunny.'When we moved off Sidney street you would still come visit when you got older. You would ride your bike and sit for hours talking to my mom, you was/is family.
You are in our hearts and is loved through eternity. You are missed Corey

Mr and Mrs. Green

There are no words that can lighten the sorrow that you feel at this time. He was my best friend and it has been really difficult for me so what you feel is unimaginable. May your memories bring you comfort and know that the two of you, the baby, and the rest of the family are in my prayers.

Wilbert and Sandy,
I am so sorry for your loss, be comforted knowing that God has a plan, it's bigger than all of us and we don't get to understand. I guess that is what FAITH is all about, it's better to live with it than to live without. Please know that I am here and I love you.

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.
