I love you shaad you were more than a friend. You was my brother too. I miss seeing you walk your dog . I remember during the summer you would sit outside on my front and wait for me and Dee to wake up. You would always want me to put you on with girls. You would bring rae and the dog over after school. You and Dee was real close I remember you went away to school you would call me saying you miss Dee lol I remember you came over to let me and Dee hear your song your first words was "moneyyyyyyyy" you were all about your money . You not just my friend you my brother shaad ! I'm still heart broken every time I ride pass your house it's still unreal to me. I play your song just to hear your voice and have your picture on my desk at work. Me , Dee, mom, and my family miss you! Love you shaad!

Ra'Shaad was one of my favorite students. I was his reading and writing teacher at CSM. He always had kind words for me. Even if he saw me outside of the classroom, he would say hello! I was so very sorry to hear he was gone. My prayers and condolences go out to his family and his many friends.

Only when we meet God we will get the answers to the mysteries of this life. Until then, we pray that the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, will be with you to provide support, strength and love. Stand stall and let Jesus wipe your tears away when you remember Ra'shaad. The Forbes' family.

To Ingrid and Family,
O Lord,
Come and presence yourself with this family. Comfort them in their loss, hold them in their sorrow and sustain them through their grief. Enfold them all with your love Lord that they may rest within your arms. Watch over their sleep and take their hands each morning as they face a new day. Bind their hearts as one and bless their relationships. Might they be united in their loss but also blessed with smiles and goodness. Lead this precious family onwards to embrace life together, yet hold on to the promise of heaven.

I am still in shock over this. Ingrid my heart goes out to you and your family. You all are in my prayers. Ra'Shaad was such a sweet young man and so loved by my girls. We have known your family for many years and this comes as such a blow to all of us. I will miss that gentle yet bright smile of his and will forever now feel slightly uneasy driving to and from my mom's house knowing he won't be waving hi from the driveway or the back yard. It is my prayer that God grant you all a sense of peace, a peace that only he can provide during a time such as this..love you guys
