i wish you were still physically here with us. it seems unfair that nobody will probably ever get closure from your death because of how you died. i know your in heaven and god has you busy doing other things now i hope he at least lets you check the net every so often to see whats going on and the messages for you people like me who was impacted by your life and your death in a melancholy way. i think you touched a lot of us and made us think of things differently. the world definitely misses your poetry and your laughter i am happy to of known you and will never forget you ever

My friend with a heart of gold. You always offered whatever you had. Especially for me the great advice. But I will miss your laughter and quickness to be Da Real One. You were truly an inspiration. You will forever be in our hearts. R.I.P. My Papi.

Of the few regrets I have in this life... one of them will be that I did not meet you again. You made such an impression upon me. And I know I am not the only one that can say that....
R.I.P. .... until we meet again

You said if tomorrow starts without you; you had lost your way and God showed up to walk you home. You said to "tell them" so I'm reminding them of what you said. You were more than poetry to us; you were inspiration, encouragment, and an example, you were family. You told me to own my business. You said you'd always take care of my husband (13 of Nazareth) and you kept that promise. I promise to speak of you as you are here, I will light incenses and burn candles in your memory. I will pray for your family. I will continue, because that's what you would have wanted. I've told my Dad that you were coming to heaven, looking like you're related to us :-) and I know you're snuggled in the arms of your mother and smiling over us 6'5 with wings now. I will love you always. Your sister in Christ, KaNikki J. (High 5 to the sky) you did us proud Will, you did us proud. Until we meet again...

Will B. (adj.) simple yet complex in all that he was; essence of fire and friendship; mentor of men; soft and nurturing lion.
Having had the pleasure and honor of knowing you has truly made me a better person in my heart, deed, & word. There are many prophets holding seats for you in the heavens. Meet them with your head held high for your tasks were many and completed with valor. RIP my brotha & see you soon. Smoochez !!!

Thank you, my brother, for your kind words of encouragement. Upon attending our Spoken Word Expo in St. Louis, you gave advice and struck our stage with words that touched the souls of everyone in an ear shot. You will be missed.

You gave so many inspirations from your trials to today what we see right in front of us. I am sure the heavens knows your heart. You style and grace on a mic can be left untouched I am thankful for knowing you as a person through my family and also seeing you spit was truly a blessing.
