Uncle,
You always were there for me to pick me up when I needed you. Some how you always gave me the strenght to get through all the rough times in my life. As you know I need you more than ever to pick me up and get me through this hardest time in my life. As you no I've been spending alot of time sitting with you and talking with you and its kinda funny you knew what fight was lying ahead of me when you died, But you made me a promise before you left me and I need you to keep that promise. Please give me the strenght I need. I miss you very much And no it isn't getting any easier I still miss you very much.I love you and will see you again

It's been awhile, but I was thinking about you. I had went to the Mariah Carey concert and I was thinking if she was going to play the song that you had picked to dance with me at my wedding, but I thought it was an old song and she wouldnt sing it. I had said to you if you're here with me, then she will play the song..It was the secound song she sang, I was surprise, but happy I love you and I know your always with me like you said to me when we we were dancing listen to the owrds of the song and remember me.. I miss you so much.. I love you daddy

Hello Snooky

Missing you a lot as always.I can see You, Mom and Dad are watching out for all of us. Congradulations on your expanded family, it really makes us all happy. No need to tell you, because you guys knew it first. Aunt Francis is there with you all. I hope when you guys came to get her you gave her a chance to say good-bye to her family. I think because we didn't say good-bye is why it makes it so hard. Help Aunt Francis"s family get thurough the tuff times.We love you all.

Snooky,

My brother I miss you alot. I think about you. Sometimes I do wonder what it would be like if you were still here. I remember your smile and your laugh. You used to call me once a week or to let me know when you were going away and when you would get back from your trips. I wish I could hear your voice again. My holidays are not the same. I always thought we would all get old together and that we would all sit and look at our videos or pictures and laugh at ourselves. I love and miss you.

Your sister,

Brother,



Missing you alot and trying to understand why things happen. I know it's not God. I understand God needed you more. We all love and miss you. Your older brother Ernest have been in contact with us and he too wishes he had spent more time with us, mom and dad. He's very sorry that he did not get to know you very well. He knows that you were a good brother cause of the things we say about you. I believe with all three of (you,mom dad) that is why we are trying to get all of us together. I know I'm trying, like you said to me be a sister no matter what anyone does. It is a fact of life people are who they are and we have to love them. I know I do love and care about everyone. I cherish your pictures and videos of you. How we all laughed when we gathered at mom's house. I have given some of the pic's away to some of the kids. Your's, mom and dad's I will always keep.



Love you my brother

Today was a very sad day it's been a year since you have been gone but it still seems like just yesterday. We still miss you so much and need you in our lifes.We still go on living just as you wanted us to, but there is a void and emptyiness in our hearts and lifes. I think of you each and every day and thank god that he gave you to us for the time that we did have you. You filled our lifes with love, happiness and laughter. Snooky I am proud to say that you are my brother you showed so much in the last year of your life and I remember everything you said, and I have tried every hard to do and be what you wanted me to be. I know that you can see that from where you are. I know that some of your last wishes have not come true, but we haven't given up with your help we will get there. I feel like I am saying good-bye again and my heart feels like it is breaking in two. I miss you and love you very much,but I know that your spirit is always with us because I can feel you sometimes. may You,MOM,Dad and God always look out for us. My love to all of you always

Dear uncle,

I think of you everyday. We miss you at the park but some how I know you are there in spirit. And you would be proud of your godson. He is doing exactly what you told him to do. I think that this year you are out there with him and not watching from the stands. I wanted to write you so I signed on. But once I signed on to the website I realized that I know you are looking down laughing. And that I don't need to write to you to tell you whats going on. Because you are with us everyday. I know uncle its very funny But also sad. Even since you have been gone things here haven't changed. But you already know that. Its just so funny though like you said before you left me you said some people would never change even after you were gone. You always made me laugh uncle. But I know realize that you weren't trying to be funny you were just a very smart man who saw things or persons as they were. Thank you uncle for being the person that you were. And for always being here with us everyday.

I know that would make all of you happy to see that he is trying to be part of our family, my Dad must be proud. He send me a copy of a CD of him singing when he was young and we listen to some of it, he is good. He sounds just like Frank Sinatra. We Sure miss You,Mom and Dad.

Hi dad.. I was thinking about you today,and listening to the song you picked to dance with me at my wedding and i remebered that you told me to listen to the words and not to forget that day..I dont know if you knew how much that day meant to me and because of you it happened.. I did the 6.50 mile cancer climb on south mountain last saturday and when we got to the finish line and signed the banner in your honor, I started crying, because you went through so much, but always found a way to laugh and enjoy your life..I love you dad and every day is harder and harder, but I know youll always watch over your kids and grandchildren..we all miss you dearly.. reecer remembered the last time we went out to eat and where we went, we went to that restraunt recently and while I was pulling to the parking lot reecer started crying, and i told him that you would wnat him to enjoy it in his meemory and that you will do something to make him laugh ..sure enough when we got in..your little vince fell off the chair because he was acting like a monkey...and we all started laughing and reece said thank you tata....

Brother,

You are missed so much. You're in my heart. In your memory some of us ordered Lance Armstrong's cancer braclets to wear. This will help me and make me feel that you are with me. I love you.

Snooky, Another year without you is still not easy. I visit you, mom and dad. It still seems unreal. I"m going through my pictures. Ive found so many pictures of you when you were young holding your kids when they were tots. We the family were enjoying all the good memories of you as we all went through all the boxes and albums. We found graduations, BBQ's weddings and family gatherings at mom's house. In all the pictures you had a smile. I didn't realize I had so many pictures of everyone as we got older and the kids as they were growing up. What a difference to see all of us. We miss you and will not forget you. You are our loving brother.

Dear Brother

It's 1:00 A.m. in the morning and I can't sleep because I'm thinking of you and missing you so much. It's so quite and lonley but nice because it gives me time to remember all the good times we all spent together. The times we laughed and cried together. I miss the visits when you and Edith use to come over, we always laughed together. How I wish I could laugh like that now. Thank you for helping me right now through the hard time that I am going through right now and being there spiritly with me with Chombie slowly but surely he is getting better. You are a special person because you are loved by so many people and missed by many. You are always in our hearts. love you forever your sister Sylvia

Uncle



I had a friend bring this to me and tell me to read it. She told me that this was from you to help me get through the emptiness I have. So I read it and some how it made me feel better. You told me that I would get through this but you knew it would be hard for me. And you were right it is hard but I am taking it one day at a time. Some days are good some days aren't. But I guess that's life. I miss you and love you very much.



I’m Free



Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free

I’m following the path God has laid you see.

I took His hand when I heard him call

I turned my back and left it all.



I could not stay another day

To laugh, to love, to work, to play.

Tasks left undone must stay that way

I found that peace at the close of day.



If my parting has left a void

Then fill it with remembered joy.

A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss

Oh yes, these things I too will miss.



Be not burdened with times of sorrow

I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.

My life’s been full, I savored much

Good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.



Perhaps my time seemed all too brief

Don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.

Lift up your hearts and peace to thee

God wanted me now; He set me free.

Dear Brother,

You were the star on my Christmas Tree this year and each light on the tree was a shiny reminder of every smile you shared with us and the wonderful sound of your laughter which is what I miss the most. Brother, You'll know what I'm talking about when I say that we lost more than just you. It doesn't make sense and we need your help in understanding because I think you are surprised by it also. I know that you are happy and no longer in pain and that brings comfort but it does't fill the void that we are feeling. I know that the streets of heaven were full with celebration last night on New Year's eve and I know that you finally found out what dad saw when he would go outside to watch the new year come in. I know that you were with my friends that also went to heaven this year. Watch over my friends Dave, Peter,Mary, Joe and Ruth. I love you very much and miss you so very much

My First Christmas in Heaven



I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below, with tiny lights like Heaven's stars reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away the tear, for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.



I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear, but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you, the joy thier voices bring, for it is beyond description, to hear the angels sing.



I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart. But I am not so far away, we really aren't apart. So be happy for me, my dear ones, you know I hold you dear. And be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.



I sent you each a special gift, from Heavenly home above, I sent you each a memory of my undying love. After all love is a gift more precious than pure gold. It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.



Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do. For I can't count the blessings or love He has for each of you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear. Remember I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

all my love Jackie

Brother,



It's Christmas and I'm not enjoying it. My wish for Xmas would be that you, Mom and Dad could be with us again. Looking at the old videos still makes it hard to realize that you and mom are gone. The video with all of us and the kids at christmas sing songs in the kitchen really is sad to see cause all that is gone. I know your Xmas is very delightfull cause the place you are in is the best place to be. I love and miss you very much. Aunt Mary and Uncle Joe also miss you.



Your sister,

Mona
