To go on with out you
I have no control
Your heart was so pure
Your beauty so bold
The love that you shared
For your sister and brother
Was incredebly sweet
Will be seen by no other
We will never forget
The friendships we had
Our hopes and our dreams
Now all seem so sad
But dont forget this
I will always remember
The way i love you
Our friendship still burning from embers

To my adopted family who took me in with open arms and love god is in control now. Look to the hills with cometh your help your help comes from the lord. Nephew what a great young man you were who's life ended too soon but god puts no more on us that we can bear. Maine, Trina, Bopete and the entire family I am always here if you need me devante had a special place in my heart and always will. Jesus will be your peace in the midst of your storm when the cards, calls and everything else stop coming he will always be there. Nephew your name will not go in vain this is a celebration of your life. Family stay strong in the will of god and too the younger generation it's time out with playing with god get your life in order.
