I came to know Kareem through my neices Latifah and Fatimah. Although I didn't know him very well, I have a fond memory of Kareem and his father visiting my mom in the hospital before her homegoing. May we all find comfort in the fact that "Abscent from the Body means Present with the LORD." To the family of Kareem, may you find the strength that will sustain us all in times like these in Jesus Christ. Ask not questions "why" of GOD. Glorify "HIM" The one who sent his only Son to die for us all.
GOD BLESS EACH of YOU......Michael Neblett and Family

To Pat & The Family

God never promised a life without pain,
Laughter without tears or sun without rain.
But He did promise strength for the day,
Comfort for the tears and the light for the way,
And for all who believe In His Heaven above
He rewards their faith In His everlasting love.

See You When i get there R.I.P Kareem

Kareem, I remember all those times when your mom would drop you off at my house, since your mom and my mom were very close, Tomi and I loved your company so much, all of my family loved your company. I remember when you used to come with us to Tomis baseball games, and that time when both you and Tomi got stung by the same wasp, you guys were trying to act like it didn't even hurt lol; good times! Even though we stopped being as close as we used to be, your memory will forever be and stay with me. We loved and love you and your family very much
*Sorry for your loss Pat and family, my heart and prayers go out to you all.

Kareem you were and still are one of my fondest memories in life! At Henrico seeing your smile everyday in class and on the walkway made my day so much better. And having you as my D.E. partner made that class so much more fun! Though you were a goofball, you always had the right things to say when I needed it. Even when we all went our separate ways after HS you still made time to talk to me and ask me how I was doing and were still a great friend. I love you sooooo much and you will be missed. You are forever in my memory!

I continue to pray for your family, and I know that your in a better place.

Love you so much!

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Pat and Shaundavia,

Words cannot explain how I felt when I heard the news of Kareem. He was like a son to me and I have nothing but fond memories of him and the boys hanging out at my house. I remember when Aniya was born he asked you what Aniya was to him:) You responded we are all family. And you were right. I love Kareem and all of you. I pray everyday that GOD give you the strength you need to get through this. Focus on the great man he grew to be and all the good memories of his childhood. He is truly now a Child of God.

Love always Tootsie

"Gone But Not Forgotten". Always in our hearts

February 13, 2011

Cousin Pat and family,
Words are never enough at a time like this. Our hearts are overwhelmed with grief with the loss of Kareem. As hard as it is, God only knows and knew that we would have Kareem in our lives for such a short time. The time that he was here was a time of joy and pleasure. We can truly say that we were proud of him and that he strived to be the best young man he could. His life leaves a positive mark on every life he touched. Stay strong family. I pray that we all examine our lives at a time like this and pray and ask God for strength and also pray that we some day can leave a postive mark on the lives that we touch. Know that in times like these, God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. He will carry us through this difficult time. Continue to find strength in God's Word, family and friends.
Love you dearly,
Lisa and Mone't

I will never forget his smile. One summer on the way home from my son's baseball game the song "It's getting hot in here - by Nelli" came on Kareem and my kids started singing and dancing. My station wagon was jumping up and down. It was too funny. It;s hard to say RIP my special friend. This is NOT FAIR - THIS TRULY SUCK! Love Sonia

Kareem, you kept me smiling even when you were the little hard head at Henrico. At Reynolds, you showed me how much you had grown into a sweet, humble, diligent, and outstanding man. Thank you so much for being a part of my life. I LOVE YOU and know that you will be missed!

I pray that your family is comforted in this time of deep heartache.
