Hi Marques, November 20th is almost here. I dread that day every year im sure you know. My life is so so hard without my sons. I miss you guys so much I just wish someone could understand the severe pain I deal with each and every day because life is truly a battle for me. This is an age that a mother gets older and she could really use her strong men around. Some day I will see all of you and I will be happy because earth is hell without you guys. Love mom.

Bobby I tried to leave you a message I'm leaving It on your brothers page your both together. It's coming closer to another year since I lost you both. My best years in my life was raising you both. I always put my sons before anyone and I know you both knew that. It's still hard the grief has not ended. I look at your pictures from the days since you were born until the days you both were men. Bobby you were so funny and you were always my son who in my eyes was the one that always protected me. Lol at times you thought you were my boss and I loved that about you and at times you and your brother were always keeping tabs on you. Your there with nana, your other grandparents so I know you guys are safe and sound. Love you both so so much. I still can't believe you both are gone. My heart is so broken the 3 closest people are there and when it's my time I will be with the 3 of you. Love mom. Xoxo

Love you always and forever Marques. Nobody can or ever will take the place of your mom. I am grateful to have had you for a son. I'm grateful for the good and even in the hard times raising you and Bobby. I know you heard me crying sometimes at night. I was simply trying to figure out how to make a better life for you and Bobby. RIP LOVE MOM
