To Kiesha and family:
Khaleem was a wonderful person who cherised his beautiful family. He had such a warm, friendly smile and was so full-of-life. I'll remember him as loving the Lord, his family and friends. Treasure your many accomplishments and other fond memories shared. Know that he is NOW one of the great clouds of witnesses who are Cheering you on...(Heb.12:1)
With heartfelt prayers,
(Mom), Carolyn

Derrick. Our hearts are so heavy. You were my cousin, more like a older brother. I will cherish the memories I have of you. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I love you so much but God loves you most. I miss you more than words can describe. This pain is so heavy. Continue to watch over your family as we continue to keep your memory alive. I love you always and forever. #gonebutneverforgotten# may your memory live forever in our hearts. RIP cousin/brother.
