Donnell you are the only one who knows and knew how my heart felt. It is so hard to go on knowing I will never see you again until my time has come. But you know you have a special place in my heart and you are stamped on me forever. I know you are in a better place full of peace and happiness while everyone who loved you are here left to grieve, but with God's faith we will get through this horrible unexpected event with your love and joy filled in our hearts forever. I love you; always will and always have. Please comfort me because it is so hard.You will be truly missed and never forgotten. Love Always Thakia

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

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.

Donnell I love you so much words cannot explain. The times that we spent with each other and the laughter that it brung. I just cannot believe that you are gone. Receiving that phone call 4 o'clock in the morning is something I will never forget just to hear those three words. Donnell you were more than just my ex-boyfriend, first love, and best friend you were something special to my heart. Donnell just promise me one you will take care of Natailah for me because she's up there all along and I know from the time you two spent with each other she will love that you are up there with her.
His smile would light up a room, or your heart

When we lose a loved one suddenly, it can be very painful because it’s as if we didn’t get a chance to say goodbye. But even if we’d had the chance, we wouldn’t want to say goodbye. We’d want to keep them forever, because we love our family and enjoy life with them. This is what God wants for us too, and so this is what he has promised. May you find comfort in his promises and in the hope of your Donnell living and enjoying life once again with all of you, never having to say goodbye.

Donnell will be greatly missed!! Donnell was a friend that I could depend on to be there when I was going through things. I will miss those uplifting talks and jokes we shared!! I will hold him forever in my heart!! I pray that the Jones family look to the Lord for peace and comfort. The bible says "Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal" so I say to you all "Lean to the Lord for all your understanding and in all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your paths. May God Bless You!!
