Dear Vickie,
It’s been years since I’ve seen you. I read the paper online since I live so far away now. I am so sorry about your loss. From one mother’s heart to another, God bless you and keep you and your family in this hardest of all times. You and I were friends once and I’ve never forgotten you or your Mom and sisters and brother. You all helped me so much with my little Jessica (27 years old now) while we were in school. Rejoice in Titus’ life, it was your privilege to be his mother. Take care, my old friend.

My prayers and sympathy is with you in this trying time! But as we know God is able to substain us, he will never leave us, he will not put no more on us than we can carry, so just look up, and remember the 23rd Psalms, "The Lord is your shepard, and you shall not want".

All of my deepest thoughts and prayers go out to the Arnold family.
I never knew Arnold or spoke to him, I just saw in around when he was with the Visions for Youth boys. I had just seen him Wednesday night at St. John Missionary Baptist and the next day I find out he was gone. I wish I would have at least said Hello to him.....
It makes you think, how much we take life for granted and we ignore each other not knowing what will happen.
I'am terrible sorry for your loss. May God Bless your family. I know that Titus is in a better place and he's looking down on you with the Lord.
I will continue to you in my prayers.

Willie and Vickie,
Titus was my other son and we spent a so many happy times together with all of the boys. I will always remember him coming over saying, "what are we eating today mom", and I would tell him, you are not a guest, so grab a plate and fill up. We will miss him dearly. He was a protector while he was on earth and now he is a shepard for the lord. God Bless you and your family.

Arnold Family,
I have known Titus so long that I can't even remember meeting him. He was an awesome person and was loved by many people. The last time I was with Titus, he was my card partner. He was showing me pictures of Ebony and the kids...and we talked about when we were little. He will be missed. I'm praying for the entire Arnold Family. Mrs. Vickie I love you and your family and it hurts to see your family is so much pain. Titus was a great son, brother, father, uncle, friend and was going to be a good husband to Ebony.
Be Encouraged and Be Blessed

Vicki, Willie, & Kiana,
I am so sorry to hear about Titus. I've know you guys my whole life and growing up with Titus in Crossgate and then going to South with him where he was my "bodyguard" who gave me hugs everyday was a few of the many blessings in my life. Vicki, I wish I could be there to hold you like you did for me 7 months ago when I lost my dad, but know that I am there with you in spirit and that God is with you and He will bring you peace. Everything will be okay. Even though he is gone in the natural he will be alive forever in spirit. Titus is in heaven with my dad having a ball!!! Love you guys forever!!!!!!! Sheena C.

I am very shocked and sickened to find out that Titus, such a good person, has become a victim of such violence. I will always remember Titus as that 'big ole' guy' who never did anything but great me and my sister(Jamie) with big hugs and an even bigger smile. I pray that you as his family will be able to pass on to his children what a wonderful person that he is. When someone is that good of a person it is hard to really fathom how good they are unless you know them for yourselves. God bless you all.

It is with sincere sympathy, love,compassion, and prayer that I greet the Arnold Family. I was very touched at the news of Titus's early departure from us. However, I know that our faith, hope, and trust in God will sustain us. We are deeply hurt and saddened when a love one has to leave us, but we know that "God Is In Control Of Every Situation!" My wife, Lady Tobi Cooper, my son, Michael Cooper II,and I, along with The Greater Christ Temple Pentecostal Church Family in Lima, Ohio are certainly praying for you all. Please feel free to call upon us if we can be of any assistance to your family. Vicki and Willie, we love you all!

To the Family and Friends:
I had several brief interactions with Titus & his family, and I am so happy that I had the opportunity to know and call him a friend. He was a wonderful man, and he will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved him.
Here's a paasage that I hope will help you in healing and coping with your grief at this time...
2 May YOU have undeserved kindness and peace from God our Father and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those in any sort of tribulation through the comfort with which we ourselves are being comforted by God. 5 For just as the sufferings for the Christ abound in us, so the comfort we get also abounds through the Christ.7 And so our hope for YOU is unwavering, knowing as we do that, just as YOU are sharers of the sufferings, in the same way YOU will also share the comfort.
(2Corinthians 1:2-5,7)
May God bless you, Titus, your family and your friends.

My deepest sympathy goes out to Titus' family. I never knew Titus, but I teach with his cousin and I know what a wonderful family he was a part of.

My condolences to Titus's family and friends. I knew Titus from all the way back to Perrin Woods Elementary School. When I used worked there, he would sometimes come to Rite Aid and we would always talk about what was new in life. When he told me he was a business major, I used to call him the "future entrepreneur." I will always remeber Titus as a great person.
