DEAR TESA TAKE YOUR THUMB OUT OF YOUR MOUTH FOR JUST A MINUTE WHILE YOU READ THIS (SMILING) IT IS SO PAINFUL TO HAVE YOU GONE, TO NOT SEE YOUR NUMBER ON THE CALLER ID FROM THE TIME I WAKE UP UNTIL I GO TO SLEEP. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT BY READING YOUR GUEST BOOK ALONE YOU SEE HOW MUCH YOU ARE LOVED.NO ONE WILL EVER TAKE YOUR PLACE IN OUR HEARTS. I ALSO WANTED TO ADD THAT A WEEK AFTER YOU LEFT US TO BECOME OUR GUAR DIAN ANGEL MY CELLPHONE ALERTED ME THAT I HAD A NEW VOICEMAIL MESSAGE, AND TO MY SURPRISE WHEN I CHECKED THE MESSAGE IT WAS A MESSAGE THAT HAD BEEN DELETED FROM MY MAILBOX OVER 2 WEEKS PRIOR...AND WHO WAS IT FROM, YOU! I DROPPED THE PHONE IN DISBELIEVE BECAUSE I COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT I WAS HEARING YOUR VOICE AGAIN, WHEN I CHECKED WHEN THE MESSAGE WAS SENT IT WAS SENT 3 MINUTES BEFORE I CHECKED IT...... I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DID IT BUT I KNEW THAT IT WAS YOU......I EVEN LET JAY HEAR THE MESSAGE JUST TO CONFIRM MY SANITY. THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME KNOW THAT YOUR OKAY..THAT MESSAGE IS PERMANENTLY SAVED IN MY PHONE SO THAT ANYTIME I WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE I JUST REPLAY IT...DON'T WORRY ABOUT US WE'LL BE ALRIGHT JUST CONTINUE TO WATCH OVER US, REST BABY REST, YOUR CUZ......KEE (I LOVE YOU )

Hi Tesa,

I think about you everyday.Nothing has change but i miss the feel of your face and that smile and talking to you on the phone all day.What i feel for you baby will never change because you was an always will be my daughter and even though i can not see you i feel your spirit and i knew when GOD brought you in this world he only lent you to us. LORD JESUS HIMSELF came an pick YOU up to give you joy and pain free.I may cry most days but i also laugh at all of the joy you brought to us. So my tears are not sad because i know you are glad and if you were ask if you would want to spend another day here i know you would say NO.You are finally in a place of comfort and what was pain here is no longer.Your memory is joy of laughter and we are handling it one day at a time.There is not a day that goes by that we dont mention your name or look at picture of you and WE smile.Because you are now forever safe in his hands.Everytime i think about all the things you did here i know they are not as a GEM as they are there.

love you for life.

Sis,

This is probably the hardest thing I have had to do in my life,and that is to have to say goodbye to you before really even saying hello.

There are so many things left unsaid and undone and that is why I am at such a loss for words.To talk to you(and my niece)was always so comforting.Just to know I had someone there to listen to me and understand me like only a sister would.And to know now that I can't just pick up the phone and hear your voice is killing me inside.

There is one thing that was always said and that is that I Love You.We may have never met face to face but I do know that in due time we will meet,it's in god's plan. I Love You T,and miss you the same. Love always,

your lil sis

WaTesa,

To a best friend who is was true to me. I miss you so much. It's lonely out here, knowing that I can't talk to you is hurting me inside. But I know that you there with me everyday. I can't thank you enough for all the things that you have done for me. I miss you calling me when you knew I was at school. I miss the calls at night when I am work telling me you wasn't feeling good or you just wanted to talk. I miss all the times we would drive around and just chill or if you needed anything I would be there. I will miss all the times that we would sit around and talk about old times and how life was. I love you so much. I will never forget all the times that we had. I love char and the family. I know that you are in place where you are very happy. And char char is understanding and willing to know that she has somebody to watch over her. Your love and respect that you have given is never forgotten and you will be remembered in my heart always. I LOVE YOU.

Wow!!Tesa I still can't believe you're gone...Sorry it took so long for me to sign your book..but you know/knew I love you...I miss seeing your number on my caller id 50 times a day and when i finally pick up i hear your voice on the other end sayin "Hey Big Sis"...I miss telling you to stop talking to me with your thumb in your mouth..and all you ever did was laugh...you always had a smile on your face...this was a life lesson to me...i never lost anyone close to me...i know now not to take life or people for granted...But God is too wise to make a mistake he knew your pain and suffering...he knew it was time to put your mind, body and soul at peace...Big Issac sends his love as well....so does your "god child" triesey and petey as well...we all love you and miss you dearly..

I going to miss you so much. I want to let you know you will always be remembered and never be forgotten. "What Up Cuz" I going to miss you saying that, I going to miss the phone calls just of you calling to see how i was doing and to say hi, I'll never forget those moments. Tesa you was a cousin i can talk to. I never thought i would have a cousin that i would be so very close to and spent so much of my time with.

When they had told me that you past away. i couldn't believe it. But when the time came i had to realize that my cousin Tesa was no longer with me anymore. This was a hard thing for to try to get over but i going to get through it just like everyone else is. There is no more struggle for you to go through, the years you were here i think you lived a great life and brought a beauitful child into this world, you were close to all family members and even me.

You were a great:

Mother

Daughter

Sister

Cousin

Niece

Friend

Those were some great qualities of you.

Your were fun, exciting to be with, and you were always laughing that's what i loved about you.

And to Aunt Niecey and James I love you so much you mean everything to me. I love that i can spend time with you. You are not in this alone you have your Family and Friends here with you together.

Love Resse

Tesa,

Last time I saw you were still sucking that thumb. Keisha, Michael and I cried and told Read Street stories about you Christmas Eve. We are all family and losing you hurt deeply. Forever, you will live in the memories you made with all your family members and friends.

Aunt Niece, my prayers go out to you. You are in my heart. Let her child be a comfort to you. I love you.

Charles, your little girl will be your living connection to her mother. In her spirit, you will see Tesa and feel her presence. This I know as I am where you are now.

May God Bless You All!

Been a long time, Tesa. I remember us bugging out in the lunch room at Thomas Hooker school in eighth grade. Since that time we shared a mutual friend. I was shocked to hear of your death.

God Bless your family and esp. your daughter. Look down on them and help them get through this tough time.

Just by reading what others have written you seemed to have been a wonderful lady in your life, now your an angel.

God Bless:)

Keisha Lynch

January 12, 2004

Tesa and my sister were almost inseperable when we were growing up so in that respect she was an older sister to me also. She was only a year older than I was but her and Candice also talked at me like they knew it all. I wasn't mad at'em for it because somehow I knew that they were just doing their jobs as sisters and that's keeping my best interest in mind. For that, I am forever grateful. It's still hard to believe that I won't run into her again around the way but I rest peacefully knowing that her memory lives in her daughter. Tesa you will be forever loved and missed. To the entire Custis family, May God Bless you and grant you serenity in your time of need.

Niece,

I talked to my Aunt Nevada recently and she told me about Tesa. I offer my heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. I remember the night you went to the hospital to have Tesa. It seems so long ago and yet her life was so short. Tesa's physical presence is gone, but her spirit will live forever. Trust God for His peace and comfort. Let the loving and joyful memories that you have of your Baby overtake you and carry through the sad times. Know that I'm praying for you and your family. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (Amplified)

My deepest sympathies and thoughts with your family at this time. My fondest memory of Tesa is of Neicy doing her hair...and her big beautiful eyes! and she always wanted to go with her Aunt Boo and Me! I knew you as a child...

I love ya Tesa...blessings to your family.

You were here on earth for too short a time but reside with the Father forever. Although no words can express my sorrow and grief...this is my attempt to let you know someone is thinking of you....

Respectfully and With Love,

To Wes, the Matthews & Cutis Families

I haven't seen Tesa since she was a little girl and I know she was your heart. But remember the will of God will never take you where the love of God cannot enfold you, where His mercy of cannot sustain you, where peace of God cannot calm your fears, and where the comfort of God cannot dry your tears. You will always be in my prayers.

To The Entire Custis Family/Wes and Family

There are really no words that can be said to ease your pain.

I can truly say that I understand what you all are going through right now. I lost my father in October. I'm still trying to understand why God takes the good ones. If it is in any way comfort to you all, WaTesa is always going to be here. No physically but spirtually. You are going to fill her presence in everything you do. Just reflect on all the good times.

You all know she is in a better place. She has served her purpose in life by bringing so much joy to you all. As you know, everything must come to an end.

If you need me for anything, I mean anything at all, please contact me. I am here for you all.

Love Gege and The Spears Family

Jane, words can't explain the pain I feel, but I know you're in a better place. You've brought me so much love/joy in my life. Parting from you brings me such sweet sorrow. Until we see each other again there will never be a day that I won't have you on my mind and in my heart. I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!

Your Pops,

Niece, my fullest condolences go out to you and your family. Tesa will be missed. If she could talk to all of us right now she would say these words..........

And if I go while you're still here.....

Know that I live on,

Vibrating a different measure-

Behind a thin veil

You cannot not see through.

You will not see me,

So you must have faith.

I wait for the time

When we can sour together again,

-Both aware of each other.

Until then,live your life to the fullest.

And when you need me,

Just whisper my name in your heart,

.......I will be there.

Tesa it's a shock that you are not here with us anymore. In the time I have known you, you were a very strong and determine young lady. I admire how you didn't let your health or negative words affect what you accomplish with your life. I know you are with God now. I will miss you Tesa.

We will be alright daughter, We will take care of each other and Char Char will be loved and cared for by all of us, and mainly by her Dad, Who loves her too death! I am Pop Pop and she owns me, I will do any things she says, You know that. I Love you Tee, and I will cry for you always. To lose you so early is a loss to everyone, even thoughs who where going to meet you in the future. I will always remember how hard you tried in being the best Mom you could be And you where a great Mom. And how I would pick up James then you then Char and we would be in the Van listening to music and being a family or how you did everything just like your mom, you where just a like! A Dad only wants the best for his family and I couldnt ask for a better Family , I was blessed to know you baby.

It seems like it was just yesterday that we ran through Read Street playing kickball and Hide and Go Seek. My prayers go out to aunt Nieci and family. I love you, and will miss you.
