Well DeJuan you know who this is. I just wanted to say that I'm still thinking about you. I know you're in a better place now but I still don't think you deserve to be there so soon. But I can't question why "GOD" has made the decision he has made only he knows why he has called you home. And I can honestly say that I know you're in very good hands with the man upstairs. DeJuan it's going to take some time for everyone who loved you to adjust to this situation. The only thing I'm asking from you is for you to help your family and friends cope with this situation. Your guidance can help everyone including me. I know I've been asking you for alot but this one just isn't for me it's for everyone who loves you.



R.I.P.





Until next time







I Love you & I Miss You

My Dearest Grandson, It's been 1 month and 1 day and I am still having a hard time adjusting. Most of all your brother Corey is having a very difficult time. I belive in a persons spirit visiting and I need for you to visit your brother. He need help really bad coping with your death. I too am having it rough but I have learned to gather my strength from the Lord and Corey has not experienced this. I felt your presence on Friday night and so did Shine. He was restless. Just continue to be our guardian angel expecially with your DADDY AND COREY. You are still in my prayers, rest in peace my love one

Always,

Grandma

Well DeJuan it's me again Tiff. I know this is the last week your guestbook will be online. So I thought it would be nice to write you again to let you know I'm still thinking about you and how very much I wish you were still here. The last time I wrote an entry in your guestbook I asked you for a favor and just like always you came through. Thanks DeJuan for helping me get over some of the hurt and pain I was going through. Most of it still remains there but I know that with your help everything is going to be okay. Even though your not here in body you're still here in spirit and in my heart. May your soul R.I.P. DeJuan and until we meet again

Hey DeJuan,

It's Tara. I am writing you because this week will be the last week that your guest book will be up here and I miss you so much. I saw a t-shirt the other day with your picture on it and I just about cried. DeJuan you made an impact on so many people that you just don't know!!! I have never seen so many people come together like they did when you went away. I hope that you watch over all of the the people who cared about you especially me! Well as I told you when I saw you I was on the verge( or however you spell it)of getting married, well i went through with it and now I am a married woman. I wish you could have been there. Well, I will try to write something everyday this week to cherish your memory.Bye!

To the Family,

I know Dejaun has been laid to rest almost a month now but i just could not bring myself to this until now. I never had a close relationship with Dejaun but we friends through a mutual friend and based upon the little friendship we did hold and that of the one he had with our friend I can honestly say had a good heart and a wonderful outgoing personality. My condolences go out to you in your time of grief. Just know and understand that god is with you in your time of pain and Dejaun will always be with you and all of us (his friends) in our hearts. God Bless

Your memories are so strong that everyday and night I feel your presence. It is so hard not having you here . I miss you so much, but I know the day will come when we will meet again. TIME will help with the hurt I feel now but all of the memories will last. So until we do meet again R.I.P my love one

Tiffany Mason

October 14, 2002

DeJuan,

It's me again Tiffany. I know I have already put an entry in your gusetbook but that really doesn't matter.I have so many good memories about me and you that I can go on forever. I really can't explain to you how I feel about this whole situation it just seems so un-real. It's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I just wish you could be here. The last time I seen you was in the mall and the other day I just so happened to go in the mall and I kept looking around for you I just knew that you were going to walk out of one of those shoe stores carrying all of those bags like you use to do. But you never came out. Everyday I constanly pray and ask God to help me get through this hurt and pain that I'm going through. It's really hard. I keep bringing myself to realize that I'm going to see you again but what am I suppose to do in the mean time. When I talk to you now I know you hear me and I know you're looking down on me and everyone else who is still going through the hurt and pain of losing you. I can say this WE MISS YOU SO MUCH. Out of all my boyfriends I can honestly say I really admired and cared about you so much I guess thats why it's so hard for me to get through this. When you left it just feels like someone took my heart away and won't give it back. DeJuan I miss you and I know that you're going to help me get through this. I always knew that I could and can still talk to you about anything and you will listen to me like you always did. Just do me a favor and watch down on me. Thanks for always being there.

I love you always and forever



R.I.P.



To the friends and family may god bless you and continue to keep you in his prayers.

DeJuan,

It has been almost a year since I last seen you and although we rarely spoke I remember so much about you. We met in the sixth grade and you were so active and loved life. That is something I will always remember. And to your family: I know what it's like to lose someone so close and dear and it will seem like the pain will never leave but just keep prayer in your lives and keep your hopes up high because God will get you through it. I will pray for you and May God Bless You.

Dejuan, we didn't get to see you often, but when we saw you, we were always excited to hear what was new in your life. We will always remember your smile and your confidence, we know you are in Paradise sharing your energy and watching over your loved ones. We'll miss you and your adventures.

DeJuan,

This is your sister. I know that you are in heaven now watching down on me and the rest of the family.It still hasn't hit me yet that you are gone. Already I miss our telephone conversations and the talks we used to have. You may be in heaven now but I know I can still talk to you if I need you. It seems like yesterday when we were in Maryland at Tina's house, down in the basement playing video games. It hurts me really bad that your gone because I used to express my feelings to you because you are my brother.This guestbook doesn't have enough space for me to tell you how much I love you. No one at this moment can imagine what I'm going through. I miss you so much already,I can't picture you not around ot see me graduate or go to my ring dance this year. I wanted you to help me pick out my prom dress and tell me who I should date. Just because you're not here in body, you're here in spirit. You will always be the brother that I look up to. I love you "CHUNKY BEEF."I will always remember you, just be those other set of footprints for me along with God. Don't worry about grandma, Dad, and Corey, or your child.I'll make sure ther're okay. Your only sister. I love you CHUNK!!!

My dear baby DeJuan,



You were always "my little bad baby." My heart bled as I heard the news from Tena that you were gone. It is amazing how our paths crossed years ago and as a little boy you touched my heart. Amazing even further how those feelings last forever. I hadn't seen you for a many years but once your heart is touched by another, you can never take that touch back. It is with you forever. As will you be in my heart forever.



Thank you DeJuan for touching my heart. We will always share our moment in time.



Forever Love,

Dear DeJuan,

It seems like just yesterday I spoke with you when you were around my neighborhood with a couple of your friends. I guess it really hasn't hit me yet that you are gone. Life can sometimes be a funny thing. I really don't know what to say in this guest book cuz everyone already knows you were a wonderful person and that you were funny, giving, and always outspoken. I swear I can still hear you yelling out my name from across the street and telling me to come here. I will always remember the last time you and I spent talking about how we barely saw each other anymore and now you're gone. I wish that there was something I could do to bring you back and I wish that I could turn back the clock to the day you and I spoke. Well DeJuan, you will be missed and I hope I can see you again in the after-life. Love you always.

Dejuan,

I cant believe your gone,i mean how could someone so loved and appreciated by his firends, family and loved ones be taken away so young in life i mean i wish that the breath i am breathing was in you i wish there was something i could say or do to bring you back I didnt even get to say goodbye you were such a crazy but good boy and i love you for that, you'll shine a light on my life forever and ill never never ever forget you because you were always there for me and it seems like you still here for me because when i need someone to talk to it seems like your the first one listening I love you dogg!! I love you! FOREVER, MY BOY, MY BROTHER R.I.P. CHUNK!!! You will never be forgotten! Much love Henry and Edlow Family!!

To: Juan, Corey, Kat and the entire Edlow and Henry Families



It was just a week ago when we spoke to members of the Edlow family, and you just can't imagine how shocked we were to hear of the passing of beloved DeJuan. The "boys" (as dearly called by Kat) always seemed like members of our family since Tyrone shared a special friendship with Juan, and because of our family relationship through Dre; we all shared a special bond. I can only pray that God will make this burden easy for you to bear. I pray God will keep all of you in his care. Remember and cherish the times spent together and be thankful for being blessed with someone so special to share your lives with. The days ahead will be hard, but stand strong and keep your hands in God's hand.

Dejuan, I don't even know what to say. I had just got off the phone with you and then you just leave like that. It's gonna be hard to drive through the lawns without seeing you outside or taking you to the store every once in a while. You always represented Warwick Lawns to the fullest. I remember you used to come and chill with me and whoever I was with that night. We had so much fun. You were like the brother that was always lookin out. You touched so many people. Everbody knows Dejuan either from a party or livin in the lawns. I've known you for a long time and I will never forget you.

I still can remember all of those school nights when we use to stay up late to talk to each other on the telephone.I can honestly say Middle School wouldn't of been the same without you. I'm really going to miss you and no matter what I will never forget you.Over the years that I've known you, you have always been a very respectful person and that was one of the things I loved the most about you. I know you're in good hands. One day soon I will be joining you. So we will see each other again. DeJuan I Love you and you will truely be missed.
