How has it been over 9 years since you left us? This morning you popped in my head...I swear your near everytime that happens...and it seems to be when I'm in need of someone to talk to because you were always that person. Hope you're living in paradise, love & miss you.

Today was one of those days where you popped in my mind. Sometimes I will be listening to music in the car, old,old rap songs and I can just picture you singing it because you did it with so much character Lol.And sometimes it feels like you're there with me. Sure do miss you!

Its still completly mind boggling to think that your gone. You made life so much easier and even when we bumped heads I knew I could call whenever and you'd always pick up. ill never forget the times we had; or the laughs and late night phone calls that were pointless. your life was cut way too short babe but im happy to know that you lived it to the fullest; and im privileged to have been a part of it. i'll never forget you and you will always have a special place in my heart. I know your smiling down and I know we will meet again. until then hold down the fort up there and make sure you take care of us bub, we need you.
I love you.
prayers go out to tonys family,
another good one lost.

We lost a young man on Friday who we thought of as one of our Son's and also a Brother. From Ida having the privilege of witnessing his birth and to me having the privilege of holding him in my arms his first day of life we grew attached to Tony Sprouse. He befriended Ian at a young age and they became best of friends over the next 21 years. I will be forever grateful to you Tony for letting Ian know the joy of true friendship. You had your share of struggles in your young life but you were blessed with a caring family, friends of the family and your own group of wonderful friends that never let you stay down for long. You brought a smile to everyone's face, most of the time, when you were around and that gift is priceless. You figured out the joy of family, the importance of education and the promise of realizing your dreams through hard work. May you rest in peace Tony Sprouse and may your family and friends heal from this void in our lives ASAP with the help of the God's comforting hand. May God bless you and look after you until we meet again. Love you and good bye for now.

I didn't know your son personally but my daughter was a very close friend of his. It's so hard to ever lose anyone but the loss of one of your children is the hardest of them all I would imagine. Your family will be in our prayers and I hope that your friends and faith will get you through this very hard time. His memory will always be in the hearts of those who loved him and from what I heard from my daughter, that list is VERY long. He will never be forgotten.
