ANDRE' CHRISTOPHER REED

I knew I was lucky to have given birth to you. You were the glue that held us all together. Your smile, gift of humor, your ability to make me laugh at any given point, all were such assets to my life and the lives of the family. I miss you more than life itself. Every minute of every day, for all the heartaches I have endured, I ask myself "Where's my Dre', wwad (what would Andre do)". Most times it helps me through, but sometimes, after tears and tears, I don't have a solution. RIH...

Dre, There isn't a day that goes by that you don't cross my mind. I wish you were still here, but because you aren't, I have a greater degree of clarity that can be gained. I never understood why some things were the way they were, but that was always the goal, and I feel deep down, you knew that. Your personality could light up a room, and in the right way, it did, many times over. I try my hardest to live for everyday, and to push the "one-way" curtain of negativity back; but...

You are truly missed. I know you are smiling and watching over your family and friends. Say I to your grandfather. Much

To my sweet nephew you are truly missed. RIH.

I can't believe its been so long dre I miss you so much. I remember our days at popeyes your jokes your smile. I still remember like it was yesterday. I'm so happy that I got to see u one last time I just wish I had known that 2 days later you would be gone. I wish I had known that would be my last time seeing you. I remember calling you that night a little upset that you didn't answer my call thinking that you were leaving to go out of town and I wouldn't get to see you. I remember our talk...

Hey Dre, It's been 5 years 9mos, and I still struggle with the fact that I can't see your smile and hear your voice calling me. Your twin brother was injured in 2011 with a serious gunshot, so he's impaired and won't be able to fulfill his dream either. DJ is living and doing his best to be happy, despite him missing his brothers from being able to live out your dreams together. Honestly, we all feel cheated that you left this world too soon and Brian is paralyzed forever. But I know if...

Dear Andre...It's been a while since I last wrote to you but please know that I think of you often. I miss you so much but I'm sure you and your Uncle Billy are watching over us all. I promise not to wait so long before writing again.

WAT'S UP DRE' It's 2015, February 15th and our family is still one short, you being here. Life is an that no one can predict the outcome of. Your smile, the jokes and nicknames you would say and create, the personality and charm of a prince, and the handsome son that you were is so missed and needed to make me whole again. With the loss your physical being and Brian's inability to walk and continue to live his life the way he wanted, we rely heavily on DJ to be happy and live out your and...
