We can't believe its been a year since we saw you walking past our house, on the phone, on your way to AJ's house down the way. We are still praying for your family and we know that there is no pain that Heaven cannot heal.

Angie and Stevie I am so sorry about Quientin. I remember when Quientin was born. He was always joking and hanging with my son Don Don. Quientin was a blessed child. He was so special to my heart. He was one of Don Don's friends that I allowed in my house bc I knew what bread he came from. Angie I am so sorry that you lost your son and I am praying for his little brother and sister that they understand that they will see their brother again. While I am mourning the recent passing of my mother, I am praying for peace for you also. The Preston, Griffin, Page and Clark families send their love, grace and peace to your heart in knowing that God don't make mistakes. God picks the most beautiful flowers for his heavenly garden. I pray that Quientin's family understands "To be absent from the body, is to be present with the LORD. May God continue to bless the family". My mother and Quientin are together in Heaven watching over us so that we can make it through these trying times. God bless you Angie. You are a good mother and we have to go on with life because we have little ones to look after. Quientin and Mommie wouldn't want us to live any other way. Angie you have my blessings and I am praying for you and please pray for me.

To the Prater family: We met Q when our girls were in high school and he became one of our "neighborhood sons." He was always respectful and always spoke as he traveled to and fro on our street. I still expect to see him walking to his cousin's house, down the way, with phone in ear. We are constantly praying for you and for all who know him for healing for our loss. God bless.

I love you like a son Quinten :(. I'm so gonna miss you dropping by to say hi and to check on me. And im gonna miss you being extremely silly. I know Khalil would have been devastated to see you gone. But I know you are right there with Lil khalil you were like a big brother to him. I guess God is calling all his bestest warriors back to his side. And as much as I don't like this what has happened to you and my lil son khalil I am happy to know you are in Heaven together watching over us and helping to protect us. So sorry to the momma and family. I hope you will be okay.

I am sending my prayers and condolences to you, and your family. Angie some things that happen cannot be explained, or understood and this may feel like an inconsolable pain. Baby please lean to God, trust in him, call the name of Jesus, and know he is your comforter, a nurturer, and a burden barer. I know it will be hard, and at this time, the pain is stronger than thought of any possibility of peace. Know that eventually weeping may endure for a night but joy will come. I love you.

To Stevie and Angie, I was so sorry to hear about the lost of your son. I am going through a trying time right now. My mother passed away on July 8th and we just buried her this past Saturday. I know that you are hurting and in pain for the lost of your son but know that "To be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD". I remember when Quinten was born. I am so sorry for the lost of your son. GOD will help you through this tragic time. He is a GOD that sits high and bless all of us low. God has your back. I am sorry for your lost. God bless you and the entire family.

My prayers go out to the family of Quinten especially my neighborhood mom Ms. Angie. I remember growing up on Kingsrowe Ct and taking Quinten to the pool and even babysitting a couple times. Quinten was always a good kid full of energy and the only 6 year I had ever seen with muscles. He had the cutest smile and the most beautiful eyes. My heart sunk when I got the news of his passing it broke my heart it was like losing a baby brother. I am at peace knowing he's at peace resting with the most high now safe from this voilent world. I know he was taken far to soon and it will be tough for sometime but I pray God will give you peace through this tough time Ms. Angie. Please except my heartfelt condolences. I love you miss Angie. (R.I.P Quinten) you will be greatly missed.
