I'm sorry for your lost and I understand how you fell. Even though you lost a loved one, you also gained a love one. I'm here for all of you guys. It was nice seeing Greg having fun yesterday at my Grandma house. I'm also praying for Myi and Dominick. I know that God has something in stored for all of you. Things happen for a reason and God has a plan! I love all of you and if you need me or my mom just call us..
Love always,

Dear Deborah and the Long Family,
My heart was sadden when I heard of the loss of your dear son, husband, and father. I looked at his picture, and oh what a beautiful smile. In this photo I see a strong man, a confident man, a man full of compassion, a man full of love, and a God fearing man; To God be the Glory! Great Things He has Done.
I bet his smile was contageous, I would imagine the smile on other loved ones faces that have gone on before, "MonaLisa" when they met him at the pearlie gates.
I pray that God will corfort you all and give you strength through this your time of loss.
Treasure your Memories, for they are priceless gifts.
God Bless,
Gail

A smile that I can and never will forget! An awesome person. A phenomenal father, and the bestest brother in the whole wide world. SUNSHINE, is how Pookie can best be described. I am blessed to have had such a wonderful person in my life. I'll miss you terribly, but each and everytime the sun shines, I'll think of you and know in some form or fashion you are contributing to that beautiful day! Love You! To my play sis, Tee, know that Janet(momma) and I will always be here for you. Jamilah.. we love you too.

Hi Deborah, Terri, Mel, Deborah, and Jamilah,
Pookie will always be in our hearts. We remember when he was very young, most memorably when he was the ringbearer in our wedding – smiling his big grin :-)!!! His sweet and playful spirit will affectionately come to mind when we think of him. What a special gift he was from the Lord God!!! May God wrap each of you and your families in His loving arms of steadfast peace, comfort, and wonderful thoughts, as only He can do. We love you all!!!
Love always,
Charles and Valeria (McIntyre) Hearn and Family (Son Chadd and Daughter Dionna)
