I remember growing up and Dude had 2 specialties. He made peanut butter cookies from the government peanut butter and Quaker Oats oatmeal cookies. Those cookies were da bomb. His only misstep was when he made pancakes. Mama used to talk about how flat they were ;-). Yes they were flat but good.
Thinking of our brother on the anniversary of him being taken from us 17 years ago. GOD, not our will but your will be done. Grateful for the 32 years that GOD allowed me to have. To GOD be the glory.

Thinking of my big brother today on his special day. He was the rock of the family. Respected and loved by all that knew him. Missing Dude on his 56th birthday.

Fourteen (14) years ago, this day became one of the absolute worst days of my life. From then on, I thought LOVE didn´t LOVE ME anymore and never ever would again!

I´m unsure if it´s fortunately or unfortunately that I still remember everything all too well. Only time will tell.

Some days I cry loudly alone like a newborn baby; other days I well up silently for what I thought was no reason at all.

I must admit your presence was definitely an essence; but, your absence is appreciated because I know you´re our guardian angel. Missing you is definitely an understatement.

Continue to REST in PEACE, POWER, and PARADISE, Ced AKA "POPS"!

It has been exactly one year since you've left us all. I'm back here in Memphis and it just doesn't seem right. I see all of these places that we've frequented or you've talked about and I just cry silently. There's not a day that has gone by and I haven't thought of you (and the same holds true for the girls, too). If I only knew what happened or why it happened; If I only knew that the last time I saw you would have been my last time seeing you forever, I really don't know what I would've done....I guess I would've loved you more, hugged you more, kissed you more, enjoyed you more.....I always say that I know if we are hurting after knowing you for two years, then I know everyone else who knew you longer hurts more.....I often pray for some closure to your death. I know the LORD makes no mistakes and he will reveal his answer someday so I will try to be patient until that revelation. I want you to know that I miss you....We all miss you.... Continue to rest in peace, my love!!!

To Dude,
I really miss you and your smile when you would speak to me. And when you'd see Me Me you's go "Hey Lil Ugly" smiling at the same time.
I always remember what a good time we had teaching Julian how to walk. He was so happy; he would walk to me and back to you over and over again because he kniw that he could trust us not to let him fall. That will forever be a memory for me.
Dude, you were a friend indeed. When you are a good person such as you were a person can't do anything but love you. To know you is to love you. That's how you were, my friend. Even though you're not here memories that I have of you allow me to keep you alive in my heart always and forever. Dude, I would like for you do me a favor; Watch over me from time to time from that better place where you reside.

You would be happy to know that your family has gathered together to celebrate your birthday. Some of us have taken off work and others have come together after a long day at work. All of this to celebrate:Cedric, Dude, Big Bird, Big Head Ced and Uncle Dude. You are truly loved. I am upset that you no longer are here with us; however, I rejoice knowing that you are with our Father. There has been no further word of the Friday, April 18 events. We are anxiously awaiting a word. We take solace knowing that you touched so many, that your time here was not in vain. There is someone else in line, so I must not be selfish and give up the computer. Until next time, Tima

March 10, 2009

Wasup dad. Happy B-Day. I miss you alot. I guess we can pick up where we left off. The tigers and the Lakers lost the championship and the Cowboys didn't even make it. T.O. got released. Kansas beat Memphis, Boston beat L.A.. I think my team (UNC)gone take it this year. Kobe go the MVP last season. I know you would have been happy as heck!!! Kevin Durant doin ok in the league. They building a nice lil spuad around him. He play for Oaklahoma City Thunder! (they sold the Supersonics) And you know that the only reason Memphis ranked so high is because they got a weak confrence. They already lost three games. Me, I tried my best to get in school and im going this summer. I ain't working two jobs no mo. But I'm still at the hotel. I'm bout to quit that junt in a while.

Sometimes, I think about running into at a gas station or a mall or somewhere out of town or something. Or, you calling me one day telling me that you faked it all to get away and start over or something. I got a wild imagination. I don't know. I just miss you.

Love you.

I do not know where to start or even what to say besides Happy 40th Birthday and RIP, my love!!!!! I think about alot of things that we have done together and I laugh and I cry and I laugh again because I know you didn't like the crying, but Ced, I MISS YOU!

I think about how blessed I was to truly have a nice MAN there for not only his immediate family at home, but for his mom, sisters, brothers and friends, too.

I say it all the time that you've shown us true love, happiness, and peace. I miss you much and the girls miss you more. I know that if I miss you dearly after being with you on earth for two years, I definitely know that those who knew you longer hurts even more.

I pray that we will meet again.....until then, I will continue to hold you close to my heart.

Happy Birthday

Truly a best friend
What I had indeed
Was always there for me
Anytime I was in need
Can't say that now
Cause they took you away
And God needs his angels
So what more could I say!

TO MY BROTHER
To the brother that I never had, Dude.
I Thank God for bringing you into my life for as long as he did. Dude, When I first met you I met you through Stantonio as my brother in law, but as time went by you were really a big brother to me as well as an uncle to your niece and nephews. Dude I sit and think "Why You" many days and I don't understand. Then I think and I say, "the good seed is taken to straighten out the bad ones" and I guess that it is all in the plan. Dude, I can go on and on but all I am going to say is you are truly missed by us.....Pokey, Anthony, Lakendra, and
Jeremy. You will always be in our hearts, forever.
Love Truly The Lloyd Family

Happy Valentine's Day! You have shown us (the girls and I) in numerous ways that we were at the top of your list. You've also shown us in many ways that you cared about us tremendously.

Of course, it's still hard for us to get over you.....Kennedi really has her ups and downs about you-she really thinks about you alot....She misses her "Memphis family" alot, too....and, often asks "why did you have to leave".....Dreya recants different things about you-such as the different foods that you would enjoy (lol) .....chilli, nutty buddy bars, Hamburger Helper......I think she misses you more while Di hurts more....

I will never forget that you told me I need to learn how to let go of some things.....Your memory is one thing that I simply cannot let go.....

With that said, I know you know that you have left an impression on us and I hope that we meet one day again...

I can truly say that you are greatly missed and you will always be in our hearts.

RIP, MY LOVE

Hey Dude, Jarvis wanted me to let you know that your FAVORITE teams are being BEAT DOWN BIG TIME! He and I had lunch this Friday and for the first time in a long time, he was able to laugh and talk about his Daddy! He's doing great and I've purchased a house for him and Jeremy and they will be living together again.

December 29, 2008

We had Christmas at my house again and your presence was DEFINITELY missed. It wasn't the same but we got through it. You know that we really don't have to speak our feelings, because they show on our faces. From time to time I would look at Mama and her feelings showed. She misses you in a way that is a silent pain for her that strengthens us. We went to see your girls. They are doing pretty good considering. When I talk or visit with your fiancee, you can recognize her comfort of being with your family and also the pain of being without you. We are heartbroken; however, the memories of The Best Big Brother in the World make it bearable. Good grief Dude, Jarvis reminds us of you so much. I guess alot of our ways are innate. His behavior is similar to yours in so many ways. He helped us get through the evening. Jarvis gave me a PEANUTS Christmas card (enough said.) Anyway for those reading our words, feel free to email, call, or visit the family. We must continue to comfort and uplift one another. Also we must pray for justice.

NAKRESHIA COX

December 26, 2008

This would've definitely been our happiest Christmas together!!! I know it would've because we would have our house by now....we would both be together celebrating....I still can't believe you've left for a better place.....I miss you sooooo soooo much....you just don't know!

Cedric it's here, our sons 20th Birthday. WOW! it really does seem like just yesterday when he was born and he will be 20 years old on tomorrow. I know that you'll be looking down on him with a huge smile on your face. Jarvis is so much like you that it simply amazes me!

It's just one of these days where I'm truly missing you....

We love you..... We miss you......

Ced,

It has been really challenging trying to not cry every day about you; I don't think no one really knows the pain I'm going through by trying to be strong for your family and my girls. They are holding me more than I can hold them right now. It's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and what we were about to have--- a beautiful family (Jarvis, Dreya, & Di), a house that we could call our own, and most importantly the LOVE that we were sharing amongst everybody. It hurts so much more because I never envision that you would leave us in the manner that you did. I never thought that night would be my last time seeing you without a kiss, a hug, or even the most precious words --- " I love you". I remember the last time you told me those words.....You said them to me in a text message in the middle of the day. It made me feel really good that day.

It hurts to go in the grocery store and pass your favorites, The Nutty Buddy, Black n Milds, Hamburger Helper (Cheeseburger), Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, Sweet Heat Hot Chips (that I couldn't get right for a couple of months!), and plenty others. I picked up the chips once (after I finally got them right) unknowingly and had a fit when I got home because you weren't there to receive them.

It hurts to turn the television on and your favorite shows are on..... ANYTHING ON A SPORTS CHANNEL; watching A&E or HGTV late at night; That 70's show, Bernie Mac,One on One, etc.

It hurts to turn the radio on and hear anything by Lil Wayne, Stevie Wonder or Frankie Beverly & Maze especially if the girls are in the vehicle because they know your songs, too. Di doesn't like to listen to Alicia Keys or Mary J Blige because there's a song that reminds her of you... And it really hurts her! You know how hard it is to calm her down. Dreya is being just what you said all children are - RESILIENT when it comes to that..... She won't cry; she'll just stare out the window until it ends.

I know you didn't have any doubt, but Dreya is going to the 6th grade; her graduation celebration was nice. She cried horribly after the celebration because you weren't there to tell her "I'm proud of you, Dreya!" when she walked out. That's all she wanted and even I couldn't console her. That was a bad feeling for both of us.

Your baby girl is going to the 1st grade.......and she's reading well..... Thanks to you!!!!

And, I'm just hanging in here.

There's so much more to say, but I can't put it all down!

Last but not least.....if there's one thing I know you know --it is that you were loved by all.

~Kreshia

p.s. Don't be mad b/c it has taken me so long to write.....You know you never liked to see me cry so I had to "Man Up" a little bit!

It's quite difficult writing this and reading what others have expressed. It has been a month and a day since your passing. I could not believe it when I heard. Mama called me and told me to get over there because Nakreshia had called with the horrific news. Praise GOD, Nakreshia is so much stronger (we all are.) Nevertheless, we are hurting. I can not believe that you will not be there for Julian, Kaity, and Josh. They never got the opportunity to know you like they should have. I know that we are being selfish, wishing that this event had never transpired; however, I can't help it. I WANT MY BROTHER BACK! I have called on you many times for advice. You have told me what was right, trying not to hurt my feelings and at the same time not sugar coating your advice. I miss you so very much. I did not realize how often I thought of you until you were gone. You had your ways (huge sports fan), like we all do, but you were there when it really mattered. Mama has been doing okay. As usual, she is being strong for everyone. I want people to know that we as siblings and our mama had each other's back. If we needed money, an ear to listen, or sound advice, we were there for each other. Although at times it's a struggle without you, we will continue to be there for one another. It's becoming too difficult to continue; therefore, I must say good - bye for now. I love you Big Head Ced. Also thank you mama for keeping this open and maintained.

May 19, 2008

I find myself coming back to this page more and more as the days go by, PRAYING that closure will soon manifest. When I look into our sons face I see you and when he speaks I hear your voice. How I Thank God that he was able to know you and that you were able to know him, he LOVED and still LOVES you so much. The word of God says; "To be absent from the body, is to be present with the Lord". Your spirit man as returned to it's owner Jesus Christ but your legacy still lives on here in the best that son one could ask for Jarvis Antwon Hughes-Singleton, thank you for him Cedric.

May 15, 2008

I didn't know what to write when I was first told. I still find myself asking, "Are you sure?" It has been very hard trying to make sense of everything and even harder to get over it. I can't put into words how heavy my heart feels. I come to tears every time I think of you. Ced, you carried the same smile with you from the first time I met you until the last day I saw you; I'm going to hold on to that memory of you for a lifetime. You were a real friend to me. No one will ever be able to take that place in my heart that you still have. I love you Ced, and I am really going to miss you.

May you find peace and quiet rest during this time of reflection of the life and legacy of Cedric aka "Dude".

May you find the strength to celebrate the successes of Cedric's life, and the hope of heaven.

I pray that we draw closer to GOD as we now live our lives out. Continue to pray and love each other.

God will one day call us home, prepare yourself!

I surely pray as all the phone calls cease,sympathy cards no longer arrive and friends/relatives go back to their "routine", that you find peace in the Lord Jesus unchanging hands. During those quiet moments, praise God for Ced. During happy moments, praise God for Ced. Celebrate the time he had on this earth!! He would want it that way. He has always been such a wonderful and kind hearted person. I will continually lift up your family for strength and togetherness.

THANK YOU FOR A WARM WELCOME TO MEMPHIS. I AM HAPPY THAT YOU ARE MY DAD. THANK YOU FOR GOING ON THE RIDES WITH ME AT THE FAIR, TAKING ME SWIMMING, TEACHING ME MY ADDRESS, TRYING TO HELP ME KEEP MY ROOM CLEAN AND FOR LOVING MY MOM. THANK YOU FOR THE BIKE FOR CHRISTMAS--MY MOMMA SAID THAT YOU WERE GOING TO BUY ME A HELMET, BUT SHE WILL MAKE SURE I GET IT.

LOVE, KENNEDI
P.S. I TOLD YOU YOU WERE GOING TO HEAVEN.

April 28, 2008

Dude,
You were my first born and it has been said that you were my favorite. You have had your times as well as your siblings. A mother provides more where more is needed at the appointed time. At times, you've been like a big brother to me with advice and showing love. I remember the long talks we had on many subjects. You strived to live right by the golden rule and you have always been my son with whom I was well pleased.
Known as "Uncle Dude " to many and "POPs" to Kennedi and Aramus, you were loved by all. Your life was just starting off with Nakreshia, Jarvis and the girls, and I was very pleased to know that GOD was in the midst of your plans.
I can remember you taking stats on a legal pad and writing down plans for a family business.
You were a unique reson --A COMPETIVE person especially when it came to the game. You were a seasoned fan for your favorite teams -- DALLAS COWBOYS, LA LAKERS and U of M TIGERS, whether they were winners or losers for the season.
You will be forever in my heart, MAMA

Cedric, this is so hard to believe that you have passed away. When I thank back to those years at Carver playing in the marching band and the jazz band. You was a good friend Cedric. I know that God has you now. He got a tenor sax playing in his band. You will be miss Cedric. May God bless your family.

Peace Cedric......

April 25, 2008

I believe GOD puts people in your life for a season and a reason. I knew Cedric for only a short while as a co-worker. For the season, we shared laughs about sports, high school moments and the 80's. I believe the reason GOD allowed Cedric in my life is to show me that in such a cruel and evil world in which we live, there are still a few good people in this world. Cedric your warm spirit and genuine smile will be missed. But you will always live in our hearts and minds forever. I'll see you again in glory.

Rachel Gilliland-Johnson

April 25, 2008

To the family of Cedric, know that he's definitely in a better place, may your memories bring you comfort in the days to come. I had the pleasure of attending Carver High with him and I was a Freshman and he was a Senior, we were both in the band, and he had a very warm and caring spririt even then. May God bless and keep you during this time.

Tina Williams

April 24, 2008

I've had the pleasure of knowing Cedric a short time and in that time found him to be a very nice guy. He will truly be missed by all. My prayers are with the family. MAY GOD BLESS them in the time of need.

April Camper

April 24, 2008

I've only known Cedric for a short time, but he really had a big impact on my life, he never stopped smiling. You know it's funny how God will send people like Cedric in your life for a reason and a season. I'm sorry that, that season ended so soon. May God continue to bless you and your family. Your family will continue to be in my prayers.

I find it so hard to accept that your gone, Ive only known you for a short time. And I hate that we didnt get a chace to know each other better,but I guess that saying is true that people are only in your life for a season. Iam so glade that you shared some of your season with me. May the Lord keep you and your family.

Cedric, seems like yesterday when you walked in and met our son Jarvis and we were all blown away at how much he looked like his daddy. What a joy to have known you for more than 20 years and how I Thank God for the legacy that you have left in Jarvis. To all of Cedric's Family and friends, Trust in the LORD with all your heart and allow Him to fill the void that you know feel, His word says that He (Jesus Christ) is "THAT" He is; allow Him to be "THAT" for you. Whatever you need Him to be at this very moment; peace, joy or friend, He is well able to be that for you. I LOVE you all and will keep you lifted up before the Lord.

My prayers are with Cedric's family during this period of bereavement. I had the pleasure of working with Cedric a very short time, but he was such a nice person. I know that he is in a far better place. Cedric will be missed by the entire Accredo family.

"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those who are crushed in spirit."
Psalm 34:18


Dear Lord,
Please help me in this time of loss and overwhelming grief. I don't understand why my life is filled with this pain and heartache. But I turn my eyes to you as I seek to find the strength to trust in your faithfulness. I will wait on you and not despair; I will quietly wait for your salvation. My heart is crushed, but I know that you will not abandon me forever. Please show me your compassion, Lord. Help me through the pain so that I will hope in you again. I believe this promise in your Word to send me fresh mercy each day. Though I can't see past today, I trust your great love will never fail me.
Amen

I find it hard to accept that you are gone. I have so many emotions running through my mind right now. Just last Tuesday we were at my computer listening to the CD you made, who would have thought that would be final time I would talk to you. I will miss the domino games and card parties we had. To the family, be strong and keep your faith in the Lord. We loved him, but GOD loves him best.
I love you Brother, Always.

Ced, I remember the first day you came to work in Distribution here at Accredo. We talked and and shared a few things and encouraged each other on different matters. I will truly miss that smile of yours. To the family be strong and faithful in the Lord. Stay on the battlefield for Jesus and know that someday when all of God's children get together what a time and reunion it will be.

May God continue to bless the family. I went to school with Cedric at Carver High, he was a sweet, kind and friendly person. I remember him playing in the band and all of us hanging out at lunch. He will be missed.

My Friend-

I find this so hard to believe, so hard to accept. I first asked why, but I know God has a plan for you. Never will I forget you. Not a waking moment has passed without me thinking of you. Our days in the band at Carver; friendship that we always had, but only began to nurture over the last few years. I will miss our conversations. I will miss your wisdom, your love of Memphis rap and the intelligent conversations that we always had. To the family- we all are hurt, but let's know in our hearts and minds that Ced is in a better place.

I love you man!!!
