Geneva, thinking of you and your family during this season. I know that your lost will be very hard during the Holidays and I just wanted you to know that you and your family are in my prayers. I pray that God will give you strength, peace and joy. Remember that He has his arms around you and you can lean on Him when times get too hard.

Love you much

Isaiah, you have always been a wonderful nephew and I am honored that we share the same birth date. I wished that we would have been able see to you prosper into a nice young man but sometimes God has different plans for us. All I can do is thank Him for the time that he has given us and cherish the memories that we have created with you. Isaiah I know that you are up there dancing and smiling with Frog. Continue to watch over us especially your mother, Xavier, Ebony and Lyric. I love you and until we meet again.
Love Uncle Al

Isaiah, I never thought that this would be something that I would be writing to you especially under these circumstances. You have always been a delightful and well respectful young man. Always addressing me as Aunt Gail. I find comfort in knowing that you are resting peacefully among my brother your granddaddy Frog as well as a host of other relatives that have passed on. Isaiah I will cherish the times that we all enjoyed with you as a family and I thank God for the 15 years that he has allowed us to have you. In my dreams I picture you with Frog sitting alongside of him smiling down on us.
I love you and until we see each other again

isaiah, it's been almost 2 months since you have been taken away from us. i cherish the time and memories that
you have left with us. although the space that has been left in
the hearts of our family can
never be filled. I have comfort
in knowing that you are resting
peacefully. I ask you this one
thing which is to watch over
your mother, brother, sister
and baby lyric. they need
comforting and peace in their
hearts more than ever. speak
to them and let them know that
you are doing fine. Although
you are not here physically
your spirit lives through them.
Give them calmness in their
hearts so that their tears for
you will one day turn in to
Joyous sounds of laughter
over the memories that you all
created together. Isaiah you
have truly touched more lives
in your 15 years of living than
one person can touch in a
lifetime. Ilove you and until we
see each other again.

P.S.keep dancing and smiling.

Harris

July 6, 2011

Isaiah, While I cant say that Tony and I were there every step of the way in your life..I can say that we saw you grow into a wonderful young man. You had the most beautiful spirit. There was never a family gathering that you didnt bring joy to. With three sons of my own, they were very touched by your many accomplishments both in school and in the community. I can only pray that so many others try to be like you, a respectful son, loving and dedicated brother, and a sweet uncle. You will be missed ... Love Tony, Kenia, Randy, Mike and Carter

To my loving son Isaiah,
This is for my loving son Isaiah, whom I love like no other. How do I begin to say goodbye without tears falling from my eyes. Isaiah, for these words are true, I wholeheartedly love you.For no one knew death was near, until God can and took you under his care. I know one day we will all be there, but for now, I really don't know where to start, expect to say that losing you has broke my heart. I don't fully know how to explain , because right now I'm in so much pain. I keep searching in the sky and asking myself why? Why I didn't get a change to say goodbye, but I know God doesn't make any mistakes, yet right now my heart aches. I truly love and miss you.
I love and will always miss you, Your Mother Geneva

Isaiah ur spirit still lives, it lives in lyric! But I just want u to put ur arms around ur mom dad sister and brother so they can always fill ur love in spirit. U will be miss and always thought of love you!

To the Harris and Carter Family, Isaiah was a very nice young fellow who was a friend of my nephews and the other little guys they would be with. He will truly be missed by the guys and Kipp. We all enjoyed the time he has had with us. Anything we can do just gives us a call. the Wilson and Grayson Family

June 7, 2011

To Geneva, Raymond, Ebony and Xavier...my deepest sympothy goes out to you all and the rest of the family. I remember wathching Isiah grow up during my 10 years on Bates Street, and recently saw him and could not help but admire the young man he was becoming. We never know the time nor hour and we certainly can't understand why but just know "his thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are not our ways". God has a plan and a purpose for everything and we'll never know until our time comes. One blessing I know is..to be asbsent from the body is to be present with the Lord. May God continue to bless and strengthen you during this time.

Geneva,
No words can express the sorrow I felt when I heard the news about your son. Remembering back to the days your were bubbling with joy when you found out you would be having a son. I remember the first time you brought him to work for everyone to admire. What a handsome boy he was. I want you to know that I'm praying for you and your family as you try to find some peace in this storm. Just know that your many, many friends and co-workers here at DC Court are with you in thoughts and prayers. May God's everlasting peace find it's way to your heart.

To Ms. Geneva Harris and Family. Know that you and your family are in my prayers. I cannot begin to tell you how much I will miss Isaiah. The students at WILL are certainly a part of my inner soul and I love them dearly. Be encouraged and strong, and know that others are praying for you. Just remember to "Lift up your eyes to the hills, from whence cometh your help. For your help comes from the Lord". Be Blessed.

Lynn & Gervon Collins

June 7, 2011

To Cousin Ray, I thank God for bringing Isaiah into our lives. I will never forget the smile and message that Isaiah sent to me when he arrived in Georgia and he tasted my red beans and rice, his eyes lit up saying "thank you Cousin Lynn, I can't stop eating these beans." He was a young man that was truly appreciative of whatever you did for him. Isaiah was always upbeat and full of energy especially when it came down to music and life in general. Thank you God and Isaiah for allowing you to be a bright shinning star in so many peoples lives. Love, Cousin Lynn & Gervon

Tracey Willis
