I wish, I wish, I wish
Missing you bro. The world is so different without your physical presence. Your spirit was always felt and still is. So much of me came from you that I constantly see your imprint and impact. Life hurts now bro. We're trying to go on but we are starting to realize that we will never find closure. We have cried an ocean of tears and still we continue to weep. We mourn our loss daily bro but we realize that you didn't lose. You won. As usual. Always leading us to the next level......but this lesson is painful Fresh. Watch over us. Speak on our behalf because you know our hearts. Meet me at the gates bro...We're gonna have a lot of catching up to do.

Still fighting back tears...cant believe you're gone..It's been so hard to sit and really put into words, the feeling of having to live in a world where you are not there...no more of those silly jokes..crazy laughter...holidays...chill times ...its all gone. It hurts so bad. I thank God for the time we have had to share with you ....memories to last a lifetime.. .tho it hurts to have to say goodbye..I then remember, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.Oh how wonderful that must be!! I miss you bro..Sleep Easy Man...till we meet again...1luv ~lil sis Donnieshia

Man I been knowing you for 35 years of my life. You been a real man for a long time. You was a great person to follow in sports you had the best left hand jump shot. The greatest wrestling move I've ever seen by a kid at that time. You beat the fastest person in elementary school me. You listen to your elder. The people that know you from this world love your will and kindness. The Bible said you will have a chance to live again this time forever (John 3:16). I will see you again Levelle.

To the Richards family,
I had the pleasure of growing up with Man in elementary and middle school. He was a wonderful person who kept everyone laughing and smiling. The news took me for a lost of words. You hear about death everyday on the news and until it is someone you know that is when you feel the pain. Man, when you get to Heaven I know you will still bring smiles on everyone face. You will be greatly missed by all your family and friends. Family trust in the Lord because he makes no mistakes...I leave you with my favorite Bible Verse:
***Isaiah 40:18-31***
Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Amen,
I wish truly Miss you Levelle *Big Tish*
