Not sure what to say?

Vanessa and Family,
Just a quick note today to let you know that you are on my mind (which you are most days), but especially today. Bryant still has great difficulty in dealing with the loss of his fallen brother, but is taking it one step at a time as I am sure you do. He has a new tattoo in which he has Antoine's and Jamel's initials encircled in a halo so he will always have a piece of Antoine close by.

My love continues to go out to you.

Missing you like crazy but tryin to hold it together...love ya boy!

As Thanksgiving approaches, I just wanted to tell you how thankful I am to have had you as a part of my life. The holidays won't be the same w/o you trying to push your way to the front of the line at dinner.

I know that you were with me when I gave my lecture last week. I could feel your presence holding me up and keeping me strong. Your attitude of "no fear" took over within me and I thank you for that.
