I knew this man all my life I mean our birthdays where just a week apart and we rolled together ever since. When I got word of his passing, Its like I didnt just loose a good friend I lost a brother. It also hurt that I couldnt get the days off from my job to make it home to attend his furneral. Then again my mother always told me you dont have to say good bye to someone whom will for ever be in your heart. I'll miss you Tut. and my prayers goes out to your family.
Sincerely

IF TuTu WERE HERE I WOULD TELL HIM THANK YOU FOR BEING THE SKY BENEATH MY SISTER CARMENS' WINGS. HE LIFTED HER TO HEIGHTS UNKNOWN BY ANY ONE EXCEPT GOD HIMSELF. I WOULD THANK HIM FOR JUST BEING WHO HE WAS. LOVING, KIND, AND MOST OF ALL, FOR TEACHING MY SISTER HOW TO LOVE AND BE LOVED. THANK GOD FOR STEVEN.

Prince Charming (8/28/05)
I love the way you look at me
With happiness in your eyes.
I love that I can see the real you
And see past your disguise.
In a lot of ways you're just like me
But are differences are still there
And its all the little things you do
That show me that you care.
At times I find it hard to express
How much I care for you.
And I promise you can expect no less
Than I'll be there for you.
I've always dreamed to find someone
With the qualities that you have.
And no matter how pissed off I get
You always make me laugh.
You're definitely the Prince Charming
That I never thought I'd find.
And I cant believe the treasures
That someone else had left behind.
I kinda wish I'd met you
When all my "issues" didnt exist.
I'd pray that you'd just love me
If I only had one wish.
But everything happens for a reason
And those reasons I cant explain
I'm just glad to know my Prince Charming
And that he actually has a name.
You're no longer a figment of my imagination
And I hope your love is true.
Baby,I dont know how else to say.
I'm so in love with you.
(written in aug 2005)
Tut (8/28/05)
I think I loved you once
In my dreams
From the moment I was conceived
And in our love
I've always believed
That I'd find you eventually.
Your kisses are sweeter than
Anything I know
And when its time for you to leave
I hate to let you go.
But because I love you
I try to be
The best girlfriend I can be
And I seriously believe
You'll be all I need.
So faithfully, I'll wait patiently
Until the day your love arrives
And for now I say I love you
By just looking in your eyes.
I melt when Im in your arms
Like M&M's left in the sun.
And I pick these childish fights with you
Cuz I think you are "the one"
And I'm so scared
So I push you away
When I really need you to stay.
And caress me and hold me
And never let me go.
What our future hold I dont even know
I just want you in it
I need you in it
And in our love we both will grow
I've spent my life in search of
The love that'll change my whole world
I think about being your wife
But for now I'll stay your baby girl.
*Tut, I will never forget the day you waltzed into my life. What rare chance that 2 people can share the same birthday and click so well. You will always be remembered. I will always love you. You truly were a rare jewel. The funniest man I've ever known. You lit up when you told stories and that is one of the things I will truly miss. I will always love you, my Prince Charming* (no regrets)

I really hate that you had to go, we had so much fun together and my condolences go out to the family. I decided to post 2 poems I wrote for Tutu when he was still alive. One (Prince Charming), I gave to him in a card and the second one he never got a chance to see... I hope ya'll enjoy them.

*I really miss you. I'll always love you, you were my twin in more ways than one and I'll never forget that once upon a time, I met a man, who's birthday was the same day as mines. A person that opened me up to love again and its unfortunate how we ended but I'll never forget you*
Love Always,

Thank you to everyone for all the prayers, love, and kindness that you've shown to our family. God was so very gracious to have let us have Stevie (TuTu) to be a part of our lives. He was such a beautiful and loving person. Now he is and forever will be in the glorious presence of the Lord! Thank you Jesus for the gift of eternal and everlasting life!

To the entire France family. I was heartbroken to here about Steven. My most special memory of him is when he was about 4 or 5 years old. I came by the house and Mrs. France was watching him. She seemed to be tired. I offered to let Steven hang out with me for a while. I took him Twin Fair for some french fries. As we sat at the counter, I remember that this little boy was so funny and kept me laughing so hard. I know that you all will truly miss him. Know that my prayers are with you.

You have my most sincere sympathy. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
I can not get the memory of all of us at the old family house in Oak Ridge when uncle Fred Morris gave Tutu and I those mini Pabst Blue Ribbon beers. I just remember that being a very happy time for all of us. We had alot of fun whenever we say each other as kids.
I Love You.

I remember when I was a little girl you told me that you "found" Tu Tu. I was always so amazed that you could actually find a baby that looks just like you and love and take care of him the way that you did Tu Tu. Imagine how hard I laughed when I realized you were just pulling my chain. I want to express my deepest sympathy and please know that I DO "know" how you feel right now! Give it to God he is the only one that will see you through this. I love you Always!
