Juju,
Wow ,11 yrs! I couldnt think pass 11 minutes in that season. However, HE knew 11 yrs later id(we) be strong enough to see this day come.
Girl so much has happened since Aug 06 2008, and with every event good & not so good Id always think how would Leah handle this, what would be your thoughts on the matter. Mommas doing beyond better than any of us couldve imagined, Roberts still being Him(lol). Noka, Keith & the boys are excelling beautifully. Dwights matured on a level you wouldnt recognize lol. Your teedys graduating in Dec (nursing).
Of course Nanny is Rt where God wants him in this season & hes a dad (the most beautiful baby EVER). Sasha & Ryhanna growing way too fast w/brilliant minds, long legs & personality. In short, Everybodys well!
Were keeping you in our thoughts with each passing year.
Until next time...

Tia Hamilton,
Your message brought me to tears!
Jalea/my sister had a way of personally touching the heart of everyone she felt a personally connection to. Please respond through my email, i'd like to keep in touch as you venture throughout life. I'm pretty sure we met on 1 of those many routes I took with her...She would be so proud to know you're doing great things.

Tia Hamilton

June 27, 2018

Hey Ms Jalea! I can't believe it's been 10 years since you've left to be with the Lord. I rode your van before and after Katrina. I went to Good Shepherd. Those were the good ole days. You always treated us as if we were your children. I still remember the sleepover you gave us at your house months before your passing. I'll never forget it. I still have the watch and that's so raven card you gave me for my 11th birthday! I actually decided to write this because I was going through some of my old things and found it. I am in college now and plan to become a doctor I know you would be so proud of me. You are Forever missed & loved by many.

Hi beautiful u on my mind. I miss you so much

July 16, 2017

I'm so glad we have this outlet as a means of communicating with Leah. I knew when it was time to decide whether or not to keep it indefinitely, there wasn't a second thought. Each time we share w/Leah our thoughts and feelings on a particular matter, though it seems like it's just you & her, it encourages the rest of us who reads it. Not until now that we realize how she was and is obviously still "The Glue" that keeps us all connected. So continue writing & Thanks for being so transparent, honest and open.
~It's therapy for Us All!

JA-LEAH, JA-LEAH!!
We're truly missing you down here. I know you're missing us too, because I believe whenever a piece of lent, ribbon, or string falls and mysteriously make the shape of the breast cancer ribbon, you are letting us know we are being missed by you. Thanks for not forgetting about us as I could imagine that would be pretty easy hanging out with Pac, Solomon, Jesus and all his peeps!

Love you ACE,

August 26, 2010

Hey QUEEN of all QUEENS im just sitting down reading all the good things that people had to say bout you i just feel blessed being your big cousin. Leah even though i know you dont want me to cry i sometimes find myself thinking bout you and i just cant help myself ,its like me knowing all the pain you were going through helps me to deal with you being gone but Leah even after two long years it still feel like yesterday. Leah your the reason why Im strong today and your the reason why I understand why GOD kept me here and took you away its cause he wants me to grow up and be like you before he can welcome me into that kingdom of heaven so I tip my hat off to you for being my little cousin and teaching me what it takes to live in eternal happiness.Leah me knowing your looking down on me makes me a better person just knowing how many people loved you and will always love you man a girl couldnt ask for a better role model.Leah I just love you soooooo much till it should be a crime to Love someone this much but hey lock me up and throw away the key and Ill still be free. To Neenie I just have to say THANK YOU for loving LEAH this much by setting up tis GUEST BOOK cause this is really helping me express some things that I needed to say to Leah and to know shes listening and smiling down saying I love you too helps the healing process for me.Uncle Rob , Auntie, Rob,and Noka Im always praying for yall strength and will keep praying for yall LOVE PEACE and HAPPINESS. LOVE TRICE and FAMILY

Hey Leah! Every time I put on your shirt your nephew says "T-LEAH". He is so fake. I miss you and wish you could have been around to observe how mean he is. He reminds me of you when you were small.(stubborn and slick)Dealing with him makes me feel like u r still around. The funny thing is though, looking at Rhianna. I feel like I'm looking at you through her eyes. Won't you holla at me in one of those dreams so we can laugh again. P.S. Lil Keith says take care of his dog.

Just thought I would send you a few lines, since you've been on my mind(STOP DOING THAT)! Also, to tell you that you know who is out of control!! It's like a part of you is coming out in her. We been hanging out and I can't tell you everything on here but I will definitely pass by Olivet to fill you in on the latest although, I'm sure you already know. Carrie called me and told me she saw Skillet and Platinum and they both look and were acting like they were on something. Are they? LOL!!

Love Your Dog,
U KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WHEN TO DO IT

December 1, 2009

Leah, how about those SAINTS. Keith said he knows you are up there second lining. For your birthday Mount Olivet locked the gates early and I couldn't get in. That's okay because we harmonized a great happy birthday song to you through the gate. Hope you enjoyed it and you balloons. Brother- In-Law misses you so much he wanted to hop that gate in his dress clothes. (LOL) He replied "She's worth it".
REST!

Jalea,
Girl you know I cant remember the last time I walked 2 miles! You had me out there representing chick even though we showed up a little late we still made it and walked the entire way. Me and Your daughter had a nice chat while out there and you know I had to LOVE you girl out there like that(lol), but anyway it turned out real nice and everytime they have one you know I'll be there. Just had to check in with you anyway and let you know how much I miss you still! Peace out chick!!!!!

October 24, 2009

Leah, can you believe the people that showed up for that walk? We all had a good time as I'm sure you were abled to see. The rain that was supposed to come held up. (PROPS) It was so many of us that we weren't abled to fit in the photos. We represented. We had the biggest group. Thanks for everyone that showed up. It's good to know that you all care too. Still missing and loving you always. P.S. My days are getting better like you told me they would.

August 19, 2009

JA LEAH:
Who would have thought that you would not have been here today? I DIDN'T! It seem so awkward to me. I miss you so much chic and can't seem to GET USE TO but know this is how it's suppose to be. I talk about you all the time not because you aren't here but because you are truly missed. So many little things I want to do but can't like being messy in which we did so well and tasteful in our own unique way. I MISS THAT SO MUCH!
I'm going to pass by the gravesite this week even though I hate to but still do so because that's my way of still being that FRIEND and not forgetting about you (if you were wondering). LOVE YA CHIC!!!!!

LOVE YOUR DOG
U KNOW WHAT 2 DO N WHEN 2 DO IT

Hey girl, I can't believe I am just learning of your passing a year later. Neenie tracked me down and delivered the devastating blow. I really hate that we lost contact with each other. I just wanted to say Thank You to you and your family. You were there for me during one of the toughest times in my life. I wish I could have been there to return the favor. You will always live in my heart.

Noka, I know we haven't spoken for some time but I ran across your sister's obituary online and I wanted to post something on this page. I am not one for clichés, especially when a loved one passes away. I guess I don't like to comment because I feel you never "really" know what someone is going through during a time like this. What I do know is, GOD is faithful; everything that concerns you concerns him. I wanted you to know that I was thinking about you and your family. If you ever run across this, TELL MS. J I SAID WHAT'S HAPPENIN!!!!!!!!!

Derrick I still cannot thank you enough for being there. My love for you is deeper than words could ever express. You are and will always be the man in my book. I love you always. My sister was so blessed as to have people waiting on her hand and foot the entire ride. I can even remember the days that we all argued about who was going to rub her back and make her comfortable. (Sorry Dee it was all with love) and she would make us all think we did it best. I can only pray that I have the same support in my last days.
