Delonte, sweetheart, we miss you so much. It's been a year and not a day has gone by when we have not thought about you. We talk about you and Mack a lot. The pain of losing you all is still there, but we realize only God can give us comfort in His own special way. So Delonte, baby, we love you so very much. Hug our son, Mack, Mama, Daddy and the rest of the family. Love you, love you, love you. Missing you so very much...With all our love, Roland and Jean McCray (grandparents), Traci, Jerome, Janae, MaKayla, Jerius and the rest of the Family
