Bernard was a great person inside out we was in the same classes and I shared my locker with him I let him use my stuff all the time and it was crazy cause that spring break he asked could he take my shoes home cause he liked them and I never got them back it was some Charles Barkley black And grey 2007 and that touched me because not only did I lose him but I lost another classmate same spring break and we all had last period together at creekside and his name was del mattox and both situation was a tragedy to me but Bernard was pure quiet smooth laid back type guy very discreet and I never forget we was class clowns no lie all 3 of us and our teacher told us she hope we make it back spring break cause we was showing out last class everyday and it hurt me and I never forget it touched me and others In that class when that happened but I just wanna let him know I ain’t forgot about you my brother still on my mind 17 years later watch over us man gone too soon!

Hi cousin tonya this is dot and I want you to know that I do love you and I want you to know that god do to. I just have one son for right now and I live in Thomasville and I can't imagine him gone. My dad always ask me what will I do if I ever lose my only son and my only child I always said I don't know I never thought about it and now everyday I live I pray and hope that the lord watches over me and my family that If anything happen or if my son leave before me that I can be strong just like my dad was. Cause god know why and they say that we are not suppose to question god because we all belong to him and got to go sometime and it is just up to us to get it right so we can see god and our love ones again and that is what I am doing trying to get myself right so I can be an example for my son. So he can turn out better than some of these other people in this world. I love you and I will always will so remember that.

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

There's an open gate at the end of the road. Trough which each must go alone, And there is a light we cannot see .Our father claims His own;Beyond the gate, Our loved one finds happiness and rest .And there is comfort in the thought That a loving God knows best.

To Tonya and Family

I Would like to take this time to express my condolences. I rememeber him as a respectable and very nice child. We dont know the day or the hour when he comes we just need to know that we are ready. Receive him as your lord and personal savior. Bernard did just that, if he didn't do anything else he knew that if he saved that little girl's life that God will save his soul. In giving his life he has earned eternal life in heaven with Jesus.

Tonya know that I'm here for you in your time of need. I will keep you and your family in my prayer always.

We Love you.
