Dell, I am so sorry for your loss. I would be devastated. Take all the time you need. Death is hard no matter how strong our Faith is. Just talk to Ike as he is there; you just can't see him but your son just stepped over to the other side. That is one of the things I learned from my mother that I do believe to this day. I am not going to "talk big" about God as I would be a basket case in your shoes right now. He has always brought me through terrible times and terrible things. He knows how to bring us to our knees and that we are never as big as we think we are when we are hurting. Just talk to God and to Ike as he knows you are the person who loves him the most outside of Almighty God. He is still your baby and you are still his Mom. You are in my prayers. He has a good face like his mother.

I love you more than you'll ever know. Please continue to watch over our babies from heaven. Guide me and help me make the right decisions for Gavin & Devin. You will always be their hero in their eyes and I promise you - I will never let them forget you. Rest in peace my tall, dark & handsome man.

My most cherished memory of Ike is when Devin was born and I couldn't get off work to come down for the birth. When they went into the delivery room Ike took his phone and called me and then laid the phone down on the bed so that although I was in my office over 1500 miles away I got to be in the delivery room with them and hear my youngest grandson being born and I will always be grateful to Ike for that chance.

Ike will be missed tremendously. He shared over 23 years of his life with me, giving our three children a solid loving foundation for life. It is with a broken heart that I ask for prayers for his five children, Bryce, Brody, Brianne, Gavin, and Devon, and especially his mother and siblings. Gone too soon but never forgotten.
