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.

The loss of my brother has been the worst feeling that a loved one can experience. When I was diagnosed with Lukemia in 1994, Skete was the one who was a perfect match for me. He gave me a chance for a new life. Not being able to hear his voice every day will be missed. My best friend (brother)is in a better place right now. I pray some day I will meet Skete on the high ground. Damon, Gerald and myself will miss our guarden angel. We love you Big Brother (Sugar Sweet Skete).

Skeet, words can't say the loss that Ray and I feel without you in our lives. You were my big brother, my "body guard" and Ray's best friend and brother. We love you and miss you.

My condolences to the Davis family. I am an Army friend of Ray's, and had the pleasure of meeting Skeet when he came to visit in January of 2001. He taught me how to play spades--(smile)something I never learned in the field. He was like the big brother I always wanted, and I will never forget his kindness. May God bring you His Comfort and Peace.

Skeet was a person that thought about everybody. He was a wonderful person to me and my family. There are never words that can express the loss of a loved one, but to the family: You are in my prayers constantly. Please, let me encourage you to remember God's peace and it will be with you. God Bless you all.

I was so sorry to hear about the death of Skeet. I knew him thru his grandmother, Miss Berry, and his brothers. Please know that you have my deepest sympathy and let the God of all comfort be with you at this difficult time. We have the hope of seeing him again just as was promised at John 5 28&29. You all are in my thoughts and that I hope you will be strengthened by God's word.
