As I sit here in my room, thinking of you you´ve been gone 19 years on 16 April. My heart has been shattered in many pieces. Wishing that I could hold you and hug you and kiss you, but you know that saying gone, but never forgotten. Until we meet again love you miss you. You´ll always hold a special place in my heart.

What's up "E"! Two years ago today you were taken away from your loved ones (your family & friends). It is still hard to believe that you are not here with us. I love you & miss u so much. I miss talking to you & hearing you laugh. My girls are always talking about you and thinking of you. Today is one day that I will never forget because it was the day that I got married, the day you were taken from us & It was Easter Sunday morning. I love you & miss you!

WAT UP UNCLE "E" TOMORROW WILL BE 2 YEARS SINCE YOU BEEN GONE.... UNCLE "e" YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH I MISS YOU WE TALK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY..... I MADE B'S AND C'S ON MY REPORT CARD FOR THE THIRD MARKING PERIOD MY GRADES COUNT... FOR MY EDUCATION...... HER'S ANOHTER POEM: You came into my life like a burning flame.
That was your true ticket to fame.
Yet your flame has burned out.
It seems as if only I was to pout.
Others have found ways to carry on.
But in my heart I still hold your song.
You were so early to be taken away.
It hurt so much I can’t even say.
But even though we have parted, you’re still close to me.
Yet all my pain others can’t see.
You’re the first person I’ve lost, but I know you won’t be the last.
I know I should put these feelings in the past.
It’s been years now since I’ve seen your face.
And my sad feelings move at such a deadly pace.
But every time I look up to the stars,
I know exactly where you are.
You’re in my heart.
At least that’s a start.
The birds, the bees,
the flowers the trees.
They all remind me.
You watch over me day and night.
But I’m forlorn ‘cause you’re always out of sight.
I know you hear my prayers.
And my burdens you help bear.
I never could say a decent good bye.
I never will know why.
I guess because I still can’t think of you as gone.
Maybe that’s how I cope with carrying on.
I guess you could say my feet were never on the ground.
But the thought of your voice would be a beautiful sound.
I still have the rose from your funeral of long ago.
Yet when people say you’re gone, I say it isn’t so.
My mind if full with thoughts of you.
But the memories I have are of a very few.
Now comes the time when I must let go.
And it pains me so.
But I know you’re in a better land.
And now I think I understand.
That God choose to take you by the hand.
And even though that part I can not stand.
I know you’re better off in the promise land.

It's seven days until the sixteenth of April, The day my life got turned upside down, the last day I laid eyes on my baby. I can't beleive two years went by so quickly. A lot has happened in the two years. But my love for you will never change. You may think I'm crazy, but I'm not just crazy for you.....

April 4, 2008

WATS UP UNCLE "e" ITS BEEN AWHILE SINCE I LAST SIGNED YOUR GUEST BOOK.... well now i'm in the tenth grade.. GOIN ON TO THE ELEVENTH... I'M SIXTEEN NOW TIME FOR ME TO START DRIVING HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY.... IT'S KIND OF HARD FOR ME TO WRITE TO YOU BECAUSE IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE THE LAST TIME I WROTE TO YOU...... MY DEAR UNCLE

So many thoughts,
in my head.
So many things,
left unsaid.
You left that day,
without a glance.
Never knowing God,
wasn't giving you a second chance.
What was in your head,
the last moments you had.
I hope you though happy thoughts,
and not sad.
No one can evertake your place.
Your image in my heartwill never erase.
As you smile one me from up above.
My mind is still sadbut my heart is filled with love.
I love you dear uncle you meant the world to me.
I'll always make you proud of me you will see.


WE STAND UNITED IN OR GRIEF

We stand here; united in our grief.
Our love for you, for one we will all miss

Love transcends time, hope defeats grief
Good memories of you are the ones we’ll keep.

Memories of better days; of laughter, joy and tears
You made us smile and challenged us to face our fears.

In your last days family and friends gathered round
Reflecting the influence you have had; one so profound.

You r love for us was always shown
Your generosity will always be well known.

Valiant and brave, a gentleman till the end
You tried your best, your family always to defend.

A man of integrity, a gentleman to all
A man of generosity on eagles wings you will soar!

As you sit there, sheltered under God’s wing
We ask of him; Peace to bring.


UNCLE "E" i miss you soo much you don't even know... I THINK ABOUT YOU EVERYDAY.. I REMINISCE ABOUT YOU ALL THE TIME... LIKE THE TIME WHEN I GOT IN TROUBLE BECAUSE RAGE RAN AWAY FROM ME TO GO CHASE BEHIND SOME CAT & SHE ENDED UP ON WHEELER ST. & U ASKED ME WHERE SHE WAS & I SAID ON THE NEXT ST & U SAID HOW U HERE & SHE THERE I BETTER GO GET HER RIGHT NOW.

E-
The other day I ran into someone we both know and we started to talk about how cool u were. I remember back high school how we use to bug out in homeroom. I remember football practice and how ur moms use to bring us hot chocolate and use to let us ride in her wagon after games and practices. You were always a good person and I'm glad we stood in contact over the years after school. Sorry I did not write earlier I guess I'm still in shock as everyone is. You always look out and for this I thank you and my prayers are with you and your family.

"E" I know that you see what is happening to me this past few months, my world has been crashing down hard around me. everytime I really need a friend, a listening ear with the best advice i think why were you taken from us. No one but you could ever bring up my spirits, make me laugh and help me see the bright side of things. No one could ever give me that feeling secure hug or scratch my back like you did. Everytime some one scratches my back I always say you are still the number one back scratcher. I really suffer in my heart and soul missing you. I really need you right now. all my Love Forever your friend until I see you again. Peace Out

October 8, 2007

Hey Baby, I was thinking about you so I decided to drop you a few lines, You have been on my mind like crazy lately. Everything I do or everything I see reminds me of you. I still can't beleive that you are no longer here on this earth. You were a very important part of my life. My life doesn't feel complete without you. I miss you so much; the pain I feel will never go away. Love Don your girl for life.......

Hey "E" Missing you and feeling a little stress relief about the years that were given, but it doesnt get me to see you. Sometimes i really bug out and buy you a blueberry cake, or have one of your favorites instead of mine Strawberry shake.I know you see how big Miguel is now, I'd love to see you wrestle him now. Just thinking of you like I do every single day. LOVE & MISS YOU
