Hey big bro...i cant really find the words to type rgtnow because you already know how i feel. i jus want you to know that im going to miss your 2am text messages & phone calls when you just use to talk to me about everything because i couldn't fall asleep at night and we would be the only ones wide awake. Then i would accidently fall asleep on you cuz you would text my head off.lol. I would give my whole world just see your face, feel a hug, even get one those big kisses on the cheek once more. I hope you come visit me sometimes, because now i have no one to call me when i can't sleep. I LOVE YOU FOREVER...and no 1 will ever take ur place in my life as a big brother! I've been writting one of my poems for you it's not done yet but when it is i will be sure to visit you and read it to you. oh yeh, and Dad misses you so-so much...even though he dosent show his emotions much around people, i see it on his face everyday and he's being strong...real strong for you.

Love your lil sis, Tali

Let us cease with this anger and hatred toward men. For men were born to be Brothers through friendship, not war. And let us not seek to find friendship with a promise nor with a handshake.For peace must be nourished within our hearts until the very thought of violence has been removed from our minds.

I'm free.
Praise the Lord, I'm free.
No longer bound.
No more chains holding me.
My soul is resting.
It's just a blessing.
Praise the Lord, hallelujah, I'm free.


He's free you all. He's resting, and in better hands then he has ever be in.I know times are hard, but we can only pray and take one second, one minute, one hour, one day at a time. We all have suffered a great lost. Christel, I love you and we are always going to be here for you. Jamie your babies have an angel watching over them now girl:) My love, thoughts, and prayers goes out to the rest of the family. Loved ~n~ never forgotten! Let go and let God!

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Charlotte T. Davis

Our children are a most precious gift loaned to us by God. Therefore, when they die, especially at the tender young age of 22, we feel a tremendous loss and that our time with them just hasn't been long enough. Antonio's death leaves a heartache only God can heal and the love we have for him leaves a memory no one will ever be able to steal. He has left this world, but never our hearts. Now that our family chain is broken, nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

"His Journey's Just Begun"
Don't think of Antonio as gone away-
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets-
this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost-
and he was loved so much.

Aunt Charlotte and son, Brandon, Richmond, VA

May God peace and understanding surround you all the days of your lives. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
