R.I.P. Cazembe.
As an old friend of Cazembe's from the years @ Snapfinger, my life was blessed decades ago by just meeting Cazembe. The memories of grade school, little league baseball, and just rippin' and runnin' around the neighborhood will live on forever. Laughter and smiles engulf my memories. I send my deepest condolences to the entire Sample family.

Kishina, I really don't know what to say because everyone grieves differently. I can tell you that it will get worse before it gets better. I know I have been where you are right now and I am praying for you and your son. I know that God is a comforter in time of comfort. I know that when the days get lonely and everybody go there own way God is the only person that you can depend on to be there. I know that this is just one week for most people but it is a life time for you and Connor. I will keep you and Connor in my prayers. I love you and God loves you too. To be absent from the body is to present with the Lord. Zeek is now you and Connor's guardian Angel.

To the Sample family: I just found out about your loss, zeke was one of the first people I met as a new arrival to SWD. I can see his face and his smile so clearly and I know that those same thoughts will comfort you and bring joy to your heart. Lean not on your own understanding, take comfort in what you know is true, though I never met his family, the happiness on his face and in his heart speaks volumes of a job well done.

To my sister-in-law, Maxine, no words can truly express my deepest heart felt sympathy for you and the rest of the family. A loss of a child is something a parent never in a million years will believe will ever happen before their own time is up. However, GOD always knows what is best. Cazembe is now with is first Father,(GOD)and now has no more worries of this old world. His love for you will be everlasting and yours for him as well. Keep the light shinning within your heart and the glow on your face knowing that he is resting in peace. I will miss my nephew and will always keep his memories close to my heart. Keep loving yourself because you have been a superior Mother to Cazembe and he has certainly passed on knowing that. I love you and Cazembe. Keep the faith in GOD and he will see you through.
LOVE,
Karen Key Cornish

Ms Maxine, I had the honor of meeting you and your family last night at the initial viewing with Kishina. Words can not express how we all feel at this time but just knowing that Zeek is in a better place makes it a little easier. Your son was a true joy to be around and his smile could light up a room. He will forever be in my thoughts and your family will be in my prayers!! He was truly someone that my cousin could always depend on and for that I am so grateful!!! His spirit will forever live on in Connor!!

To the family, friends, and everyone that knew Zeek;
My prayers and condolences are with you all. Cazembe and I were classmates @ Lakeside and I can always remember his laugh and his loyalty to his friends. There was never a dull moment for those that knew him. To know him was to have a laugh everytime you saw him because he was so full oj joy and laughter. I'm glad to say that we were able to be in touch again through Facebook.
He will be missed! R.I.P. Zeek
Sleep well my fellow Viking and may your son and family know that you are in a better place, however still with them at all times and watching over them.

Zeek will be truly missed!There are no words that can descibe the loss of a Loved one-I pray that God gives the Sample family strength and closure.I do remember catching the school bus with Zeek.There was a house 2 doors down that had a pitbull named Maggie.It seemed like they always knew Zeek and I were out to catch the bus because they would let her(Maggie)loose and she would always chase the buses and cars up and down the street.As soon as we would hear her-Zeek and I would take off running-hiding behind the car under the carport until the coast was clear!!!I will miss you!

To the family of Cazembe Sample
"We will remember Cazembe.
In the opening of buds, and in the warmth of summer
We remember him
In the rustling of leaves, and in the beauty of the autumn leaves
We remember him
In the beginning of the year, and when it ends
We remember him.
In the rising of the sun, and in its going down
We remember him
In the blowing of the wind, and in the chill of winter, we remember him.
May God grant you peace and strength in this your hours of grief and despair. (Carolyn Martin - Decatur GA)

To Cazembe's Mom,Son and Friend. The words can't express the saddness I have in my heart for one of the funniest guys that I know. Cazembe, Terrez, Kojo, Jason, Darrell and Chris Little all use to be the Stooges at Lakeside High School, where I laughed all of the time. Cazembe had a smile that would turn someones frown into showing all 32 teeth. Life is given to us for a short time until GOD calls us home. I will miss Cazembe's smile, laughter and the way he said my name.
