Jr. I haven´t forgotten about you, I never will..... Even though we never met, Just knowing your parents let´s me know I would have loved you just like I love them.
I have come to realize, Family isn´t always blood. It´s the people in your life That want YOU in theirs; The ones who accept and genuinely love
YOU for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile. Through the pain, through the loss....
The ones that love you no matter what, Tell my boys I miss them So Much. Continually keeping your family in prayer....
!!!!!!!! THIS IS SO UNFAIR !!!!!!!!!!!

Birthday shout out to you kid.
Forty six years today you´d be- while the Lord received your soul-he´s allowed your spirit to still be free. Nothing we will, nothing we can say, will ever replace you leaving that day. Always special when you visit us in our dreams, as if your living life again, or so it seems. We still read your poultry, well expressed your thoughts of the world, some of which was passed to your daughter, for she´ll always be her daddy´s girl. We´ve learned to cherish the twenty five years the Lord allowed you to stay, we´ll live life with a purpose, remembering you till our final day.... Love You Kid! Mom & Pop.

Twentieth anniversary-Of the wrong kind-The faint thought of justice, still lingers in my mind. Haven´t lost faith, on seeing things through, for that´s what the enemy, would want us to do- A loved one lost to violence, well, let me just tell, it´s like incarceration, without going to jail-keep out head to the sky, for he knows what´s best, still with no resolution, it´s so hard to rest. No such word as closure, if that´s expected of us, we´ll stand by the words, that In God We Trust- am this time at last Xmas, your daughter, she came through, we broke bread together, while naturally, thinking of you-Life without you here, it´s still so hard to bare, we´ll give a shout to the Heavens- until we see you there... Love You Kid. Mom & Pop!

Hey kid. Fourty five is the year you´d be- While your soul is at rest- Let your spirit be free. Nineteen years since you went away- we think about you everyday- We came out this weekend to make sure you were tight- staring down at your name- this just don´t seem right. I was awakened this morning with your daughter on the phone- She misses her dad- her love is clearly shown. She made a statement that she felt that you were sad- I reassured her how proud you were to be her dad. I shared with her memories and days of back when- She knows how much you loved her- And that you´ll see her again. Mom carries a heavy heart- she misses her only son- I tell her you´re an angel of the Lord- Even in Heaven there´s work to be done.
Love You Kid!... Mom and Pops.

May the winds of Heaven blow softly and wisper in your ear, how much your friends and family loves you and wishes YOU were STILL here.
There are FRIENDS,There is FAMILY And then there are FRIENDS that Become FAMILY Thinking of you today, Wishing you didn´t have to go Away Tell my sons I miss and love them I Wish ALL of you could come back to Stay

Here we are again Jr. in 2024-
Reiterating the Nineteen years- Since you walked out the door. This is not a celebration- Nothing of its kind- It´s a reflection of your life- embedded in our mind- It is not about sympathy- or that it´s just not fare-It´s the results of a callous world- where people just don´t care- Still we continue to honor our son for his loved ones everywhere- For after it´s all been said and done- We all have a cross to bear- Thanks for all the memories kid- We cherish them everyday-sooner or later you will heard-Till then we continue to pray. Love You Kid. Pops!

Friday was JR´s birthday, 43 he´d be, been no justice no revenge, the Lord keeps testing me. Who cares about a life these days, folks dropping everyday, still we go on like nothings wrong, they say continue to pray. Keep my head up to the sky, is what I´m suppose to do, yet every night I try and sleep then wake up without you. Every year is fresh in my mind, the time the Lord gave too you, but I´ll continue the restless nights until we see this through.Be headed out to see you Jr, at your resting place, but it can never be the same as seeing you face to face...Love You Kid. Pops!

Birthday shout out to you kid, remembering all the things we did, fourty two is the year you would be, asking the Lord, why you before me. Seventeen years now since you went away, my Lord, why couldn´t you have let him stay. While faith is tested, still trying to believe, you were called home for a reason, that you had to leave, this year a slight delay coming out to the place, so many years without seeing your face. I passed on balloons reading happy Birthday, nothing happy from you being taken away. Yet the holidays go and the holidays come, but can never be the same without you son.
Love you kid, Pops

Hey kid, Sixteenth year of heartache and pain, as I’ve mentioned before, life just ain’t the same. Kept locked in our hearts are the memories of you, gone at twenty five was a nightmare come true. Still no justice, gotta stay strong, while I’m still here, your still gone. We talk about you all the time, sharing the memories to ease our mind, just came back from visiting you, your daughter had been there, haven’t seen her in a while, but your love we all still share. Grandma was called home this week of last year, missing you, missing her, wish you both were still here. Mom talks of dreams she’s had of you, or the last time you spoke on the phone, I’ll continue to hold the Lord to his word, until he calls me home..Keeping my head to the sky! Love Pops.

Hey Junior, I just left a message for my Sons, who have now joined you. And I thought about you. I know you guys have met by now, I know because I love and think of your parents all the time. They have become my family your mom and I speak of you often, she loves and misses you so much we wish our sons could have stayed with us forever. When you get this tell Arlondo and La’Ron I am trying my best to make it without them. It’s really hard. I never got a chance to meet you but I love you because I love your family. And we will always be there for each other.

Hey Daddy, I love you I love you and I wish u can just tell me that you love me to. I’m always thinking about you and even imagining a life with you in it, without driving myself insane because ur actually not here. Idk why but sometimes I hope we will see each other soon like within a couple of years like ur suppose to come back.I just miss you and obviously we all have a different way of handling u being gone. I really miss you Dad life ain’t easy without u but I’m entirely blessed u chose my mom because she is the only thing keeping me pushin and the only one who brings the memories with u come to life. I love you daddy pls visit me in my dreams
I do it for you!

Happy birthday to you son, Much Love to you from everyone.Thirteen years is much to long, to be without justice while you've been gone.still havnt accepted ahh your life had to end, wishing we could see you again..As it's been and from the start, well always keep you in our heart....Love you kid!

October 27, 2017
Hey Kid, Another year has gone, and your birthday again has passed, yet just a clear reminder, how times moving much too fast. We went out to see you, to celebrate your day, we shared some snacks, and cleaned you up, then we began to pray...Your sister, niece, and uncle came, to give a birthday shout, the love will never end for you, and that I have no doubt. We celebrate your birthday, and the year you would have been, still I wrestle in my mind, not being there in the end. Your daughter turned sixteen last month, soon to be all grown, she continues to have you on her mind, with the love which you had shown. Some of your friends, they still come over, to visit now and then, they share the love they had with you, and the way that it had been. Mom's still hanging in there, doing the best she can, you were her only son Jr., always her right hand. Keeping the faith for some justice, that's so long over due,but until that day of reckoning, just know that (WE LOVE YOU)...pops!

Hey Jun! Just sitting here in front of my computer making sure the niece you never got a chance to meet is registered for school later this month. While finishing up, I was thinking about how she is growing so fast starting the 4th grade and I wish the two of you had met. I tell her about you all the time. Things we used to talk about when we were growing up, things we used to laugh about, and of course music we used to listen to (which I still listen to to this day).
I guess Bri kind of reminds me of you at her age because for the longest time when I am calling her, I will call your name instead. I have been doing that for a few years now. I have a feeling Brianna is going to grow up thinking her name is actually Junior Brianna.
What I want to do is to be able to tell my niece Ha'Ani the same stories. I guess I'm just not sure how to approach the subject when I know that she is still struggling. But I have made up my mind as I am typing this to just call her and talk to her about you. I think she needs to know how you were growing up. She probably doesn't even know that I was your second mom. I will let her know why I say that.
I miss you everyday and sometimes I still cannot believe that you are not here. Sometimes I imagine that you will walk through my front door, plop down on my couch, and ask "Sis, what you got to eat?". I would cook anything you would want just to see and hear you in my house. I love you Jun.
Haane Winston.
December 25, 2016
Merry Christmas daddy...I miss you more than u can imagine today marks another Christmas that I wish u we're here, I still hope everyday u would knock on my front door and have open arms for me or if I go to grannies house u would be sitting on the couch waiting to me I can't except u being gone it hurts to know that there's a long road to catch up to u and jump in ur arms and I can hear the words I love you again. Whenever a certain song comes on it makes me feel like your here. I love you so much and merry Christmas..please visit again in my dreams I really miss u

Hey son, another anniversary, yet another year, of living our lives without you here.They say time lessons the pain, but the scars on our hearts will always remain.As I look at the years that have come and gone, still without justice, Lord... why so long.knowing you had to leave is painful everyday,but I'm holding the Lord to his promise, that justice will find a way. Your daughter misses you clearly, that I can truly say,I read the card she left for you, when visiting you fathers day. Your friends still come and visit, Your memories we share,feeling of your presence, being in the air. Just had to give a shout out, you been heavy on my mind, maybe justice will prevail, next year at this time....Love you kid....Pops!

June is around the corner, it's about that time,that you become heavy on my mind.Ten years without you stares in my face,as for any justice, still not a trace.While i've tried to keep my head up,waiting for that break,it haunts me every night i sleep, and the minute i awake.Came to see you last weekend, memroial day was here,always can feel when i'm close to you,makes me feel in my heart that your near.Hope you forgive me for all my mistakes,and any wrong that i've done,just want you to know that i miss you very much,and how proud that you were my son.

Hello Jr. Another year is coming upon us of the night you were taken from us. We still think of you often and I have talked so much about you to your niece, you would think that she knew you (I wish she did). Thank you for still coming to me in my dreams and giving me something to laugh about when I wake up. That's what I do know when I think of you, I laugh. It takes too much out of me to cry anymore. It's much easier remember the craziness that was you and I have to admit, I loved the crazy you just as much as I loved the serious you. We will see each other again lil' brother. I love you.

Happy birthday Jr.,today is your day, we came out to see you,to sang and to pray.We brought bright colored flowers,and placed them close to you, wishing there was something else that we both could do.We counted the time that you've been gone,eight years without you is so very long.Leaving us at twenty five, to this day still blows my mind,we miss your smile and upbeat spirit,yes you were one of a kind.We think about your daughter,and keep her in our prayer,it's been a while since we've seen her, but we know your always there. I listened to your music today,we played it all along the way,after hearing all the words, we know what you were trying to say.We enjoy hearing your voice, as this keeps you close to our heart,we wish you happy birthday,even though we are solar systems apart. Happy Birthday Kid.....Love Pops !

Hey kid, it's pops, Sunday was your birthday, you would have been thirty-three,i know that your spirit is free now,yet it's your face that i long to see.We all came out to visit you,with flowers and a prayer,i could feel your presence kid, i know that you were there.As seven years has passed so fast,i find myself wishing more for the past.Han'ne called and said to me, i talked to my dad today,we try to reassure her that your never far away.I'm not the same person that i use to be, the joy of happiness has abandoned me,still i wake up each morning with you on my mind,trying to move forward yet still stuck in time.OK...i know, it's a celebration of all the years we shared, remembering the conpassion you had and how you showed us you cared.Your friends still stop by from time to time, letting us know that your still on there mind.jR.as time moves on,you'll remain in our heart, while we wait for the lord to do his part.

Elzie Jr, I didn't get a chance to meet you, but I met your parents through a support group, F.F.M.V. They have become apart of my family now. knowing them is to know you, they are beautiful people. I love them so much. I hate that we had to meet the way we did, I lost my son also. I know that both you and Arlondo are in Heaven looking down on us. I will continue to pray for their strength as I know they are praying for mine.
I don't know you but I LOVE YOU.

Hey son it's pops-
It's been a long time,not that you havn't been on my mind- just going thru your pictures,stareing at your face-having to remind myself- that your in a better place.To say all is well would surely be a lie-As i will continue to miss you until the that i die.We finally saw your daughter,the summer before last year-We all came out to visit you,missing her dad was very clear.We are proud you left us a grand daughter,I pray for her every day-I wish to be able to see her soon,while she's not so far away.Life with you absent has never been the same,I miss everything about you,even a dominoe game.We try to keep life moving, though some days are just not fun-seeing the pain your mom goes thru-after looseing her only son.It hurts that your away from us,your memories will always remain.But i will never get use to visiting you-stareing down at my very own name.I miss you JR.more than i show-you will remain in my heart until it's time for me to go.
Until then Ilove you kid! Pops forever!

Happy Birthday JR.Your 31 years old.remembering all the talks we had-always praying for your soul.You'll never be forgotten-we speak of you all the time-we miss you more and more each day-with Justice still on our mind.This year we went out to the country-looking up to the sky at you-pictureing your beautiful smile-was just enough to get us thru.We finally saw Haa'ne this year-as pretty as can be-we see your features everywhere-i know if you were here with her- you would be as proud as we.I'm glad i was here watching you grow up-thoughts of you keep me awake-But the memories, the love,and the caring you had-No one can ever take! We love You Kid...FOREVER...LOVE POPS

This year is a little harded-finding the words to speak-waking each day without you here, while justice we continue to seek ! How callous, how cruel, this world we must share- when a life has been taken, and nobody cares. Five years we've approached-theres' something very wrong- celebrating your life that should never be gone. Still wondering just what might have been-if your life hadn't been taken, or had to end.Thirty years old is the year you should be- While gone from the body, your spirit we can see.The road that life would have taken you-was lost as a ship at sea, the days we long to see you-we know will never be.We try to keep our heads up- and do the right thing still- but how can we rest without justice-there's no other way we can feel.While it has become acceptable-to watch somebody die-then life goes on-like nobodys gone- only so many tears we can cry. Reminiscing on the better days-the thinge that we all did-watching you become a man-remembering you as a kid !What started as a normal day-ended with your life being taken away.Jr., we know your with the Lord- this we know for sure-But the lost,the pain of losing you-for this there is no cure. Ha'ane is eight years old now- the questions continue to come-she ask who was the bad guy, who took away my Daddy, your son? She has all your features-all the things you taught her- she ask, papa, didn't the bad guy know, that he had a daughter? She remembers your hands,she remembers your touch, she remembers how you lover her so very much. As you said Jr., getting to heaven was your only pot of gold- who would ever have thought, it would be at twenty-five years old ! Jr., we know you were here as Gods child- we were blessed to have had you- if only for a little while. We remember you getting your very first car- when we close our eyes, JR., their you are. We know up in heaven there's work to be done- but down here on earth- we miss our son.
We love you till eternity, Pops,Mom, and Family

Hey kid it's pops....I didn't give you a shout on your Birthday, for some reason it was a little too much for me this time, although we went out and visited you , sang Happy Birthday, left you fresh flowers, and recited one of your favorit verses, the hurt and anger still burns thru my heart.I know that this is the closes i can get to you other than in spirit. Today, i was writing up a contract for a job in my proposal book. I couldn't help to notice one of the dates was June 16th, 2005.That was a thorsday, you and i had worked the day before in Santa Rosa,we were beat that day,so you couldn't make the trip to Fremont that next nite for the job we had.However, you and i got right back up that friday,went to San Rafael, worked a clients house, how can i forget that day,you jumped up, ran, and caught that large dresser on wheels that had got away from us and was headed for a crash,you stopped it from rolling, kept it from being damaged, and saved us a lot of grief, yes, that day you were My Hero!We drove home that afternoon, happy to be off and finish early that friday afternoon. I remember discussing with you your plans for Fathers Day that same weekend.You spoke with your eyes still closed, soaking in the sun, while i glanced over at you,proud to have you with me,of how we worked together,of the things you were able to teach me when i rolled with you,you mentioned to me that morning on yhe way to work, how much you really enjoyed doing that kind or work with your POPS.I guess with the holidays here again,i have to reach deep to keep myself going because i MISS YOU SOOOOOMuch!!!!I know that you are very busy up their,but still, if you get time, will you come visit me again in my dream.
I LOVE YOU KID...POPS!
December 3, 2009
Hey you!!!!! i know it's been a while... but i was thinking about you...was talking to niani about you and reminiscing on some funny memories.. i was just looking at the pics and just realizing how much our girl looks like you....even those lips that i love..it's crazy.. she is getting so grown now..we always said she was gonna be a charater..and crazy charater at that...i know you hear her when she talks to you at night....she misses you dearly, and soon we will be home to visit you..she cant wait to see her granny and poppa... well, i was just wanted to drop by....i love you always, and you continue to stay in my thoughts....

Hey lil brother,
I know that it's been awhile since I've written but sometimes I feel that I can no longer put my feelings down. Today I looked at one of your pics and that tight feeling in my chest came back. It will never be easy for any of us especially this time of year. No, you know what, it's really year-round. You were and still are very much loved.
I look at my daughter, I know you never thought that would happen huh? Anyway, I look at her and realize that she will never know you. We will definately tell her about you but it would be different if you were here and could look at her, call her you neice, pick her up, give her a kiss and tell her that her uncle will always be here to help protect her. I could almost picture that happening in my mind because I know that's how you would have been with her. Eventhough she has another uncle, you would have been her Uncle Jr. Would have been hell, you are her Uncle Jr. This is my biggest regret, your neice not have the chance to know you.
I wish that I could hug you at least one more time. I don't know how many days it had been since I saw you before you were taken from us but I do envy moms and Elzie because they saw you before you left home that night. This is the first time that I am actually saying it and you know what, it doesn't make me feel better. It does feel better when I talk to you at your gravesite and you always seem to make something happen that lets us know that you did it. I guess you don't like ballons too much, or you just like popping them.
I hope you are resting in peace and thank you for coming to me in my dreams. They are still some crazy dreams that I can't even explain and I still see you as a kid or teen but I see you. I still need my hug. I love you Jr. From your sis.

I just couldn't find the words to say -in trying to wish you a Happy Birthday!This year you would have made twenty-nine years old,the best part of life-or so i'm told.I use to look forward to this time of year,now i struggle to make it thru-without shedding a tear.I look at your pictures,i study your face,all that i feel is an empty space-the way that you left with such sudden removel-thanks for your blessing with your seal of approvel.I'm still waiting to see you again in my dream,it's as close as i can get-missing you,we were a team.I know that your happy up there where you are-I miss KID-from near and far.
I know how your family feels,
September 23, 2008
Elzie Jr. I never got the chance meet you, but I feel your presence when I am around your parents. I know that you and my son Arlondo, have have met in Heaven and are looking down on us. I know that you are as special to your parents, as Arlondo is to me. Elzie Jr, your mom has been a source of strength to me for the last 13 months. we share each others pain. We talk about how much our boy's meant to us all the time. Through my own grief and pain I pray for strength,comfort and peace for your family. One day we will all be together again,until that day Sandra, Elzie Sr and I, know that we have two shinning stars in heaven to greet us when we get there. I can see that you were a wonderful young man.

Hi Elijah,
Well, honey, today 9 years ago, marks the day that we we officially started our lives together. I can still remember getting the call from you and all the drama that followed after. i remember you walking down the hallway to my apt complex and not being able to look at you bc i was supposed to be mad. but of course, it was hard to stay mad at you no matter what the circumstances.
but we sat on the couch and talked about the situation and let me know that you wanted a life with me. i will never forget that night or the life we had together that followed.
i am so happy and blessed that i had /have you in my life. i am thankful for the many lessons that i learned with you.
i miss you so much and can only wish that when the time is right that i am reunited with you up there.
your daughter is growing up so beautiful, and looking more and more like you. i can never look at her without my heart skipping a beat like it did when i saw your face.
i am grateful that i have our daughter to hold on to you.
no matter what happens in my future, you will always be my first love.
i will continue to love you and cheridh you with alll my heart, mind, body and soul.
I love you Elijah and i miss you so much baby!

How do i
say goodbye
to yesterday?
This question
has become the way
most people say
“goodbye”
when they can’t find
the words to say.
For me
our yesterday
was fourteen years ago.
A yesterday
that i was never able
to let go.
A fifteen year old,
doesn’t know
how too keep contact
when they don’t
have a phone.
Memories
of just us three,
you, Corey, and me,
has been the best summer
of my life.
Goofin’ off all the time.
After all these years
i finally find Corey.
He broke the news to me.
He asked me to sign
your guestbook.
it took me by surprise
at first look,
a mistake that i
may never forgive.
i spent fourteen years,
looking for an Elzie Wilson.
now i find
that your last name
was Winston.
411 calls, internet searches,
i checked the phonebook
every year.
i kept saying
“his name should be here.”
and i remember thinking...
a name like Elzie,
so unique... shouldn’t be
so hard to find.
But they do searches
by last name every time.
How could i be so blind?
...Only three letters
stood between you and i.
i didn’t know
that by the time i found you,
it would be time
to say goodbye.
Three years late.
We stayed in the same city,
only a few blocks away.
I remember
promising to name
my first child “Corey.”
And even thought
she wasn’t a boy, she
took that name.
Just not spelled the same (Korrie).
Three kids later,
i named my son Elijah.
Not even knowing
that it was your middle name.
i sit here
realizing the irony
of simple things.
People say a name
makes you.
Elijah means:
“God is Lord.”
Since you were born
you were dubbed
a servant of the Lord.
No worries,
this was just the hand
you were dealt.
And even though
our hearts are broke,
God needed his servants help.
How do i
say goodbye
to yesterday?
Our yesterday
was fourteen years ago.
A yesterday
that i was never able
to let go.
And i won’t!
i’ll keep it here
to hold memories
of you, Corey, and i,
and laugh just a little bit more
i will never forget
my happiness
in that summer of ’94.

Hey Elijah,
Just wanted to drop a line to say I still love you with all my mind, body, heart and soul.
The love i have for you even to this day grows stronger!
Our baby is now a first grader and is very smart. Everyday i look at our little girl i see you.
It gets hard at time to enjoy the special moments with our girl because you are not there. But i stay strong, only letting it out on your anniversary. I go to the beach and light a candle and do what we did best and cry. I still don't know what i am going to do without you. i am blessed to have at least gotten that one last hug and kiss from you before you left that night. i can still strongly remember those last few hours with you and that last week. Baby , everything you said i was with you 110% and there'll never be no other who will ever have that same love i had and gave to you. You will always be in my heart and in the spirit of our daughter!
Loving you Always
Your Island Princess

Today was not the best of days for me, my love, for the obvious reasons... I miss you sooo much! You are always on my mind, and I am happy to have shared time with you, however brief it was... And I'm grateful for the gifts you left me. I gained a whole other family thanks to you, and we continue to support and love each other as time marches on. We all love you and miss you.

We've arrived at three years since we last saw your face.Still without justice, but your not a cold case.While most are reluctant to speak of that night,are day of reckoning is clearly in sight. There are those who know,but still cling to silence-may they never have to experience loseing a loved one to violence. Haa'ne growing up without her father is so sad-Jr. we know how you tried to live your life as a dad.By that being father's day weekend,how can it ever be the same-as i drove us home that afternoon,before that fatel night came. If on the outside it appears all is well,it's a re-0ccurring nightmare,straight out of hell.It's difficult to reach out or still be the same, when someone has taken your life in vain.That was a good week for us Jr., i could see your strength and your pride.Wrapping up the week together,working side by side.on the brighter side of darkness- You're where most of us hope to land,as we thank God for letting us watch you become a man!thanks for the memories kid,like resting your arm on my shoulder-you left us a young man,never to experience getting older.Your friends say they miss not calling your name-We all miss you Jr. That will never change.
We Love You JR.

Elzie Elijah Winston JR.October 21,1979-June 18,2005 From june 18,2007-Two years have gone by-still it's hard to believe,you were needed in heaven,that are son had to leave.We know you're an angel-that there's work to be done,so today we honor you just for being our son.We try not to question the lord,for they say what will be-will be-But as a father i can't help but wonder-why he took you before me.
This is the second year since we all saw you last-Now all we share are the memories of your past-some may never know just how tough it has been-yet we know in our hearts we will see you again.We say were happy for you,for all that it's worth-still no one wants to see there child leave the earth!Your daughter misses you deeply-unable to understand,why she can no longer hold her daddy's hand!Some questions unanswered but we continue to pray-because we know in our heart every dog has his day.We talk of you often knowing it's not the same,But you left us a gift when our granddaughter came.This day is dedicated on your behalf.We miss you JR.and we miss your laugh! Love,Pops & Mom

Today is the anniversary of our first year of adjusting to life without you here.How could we possibly have guest or known-that the Lord would be calling you-so soon to come home-So grateful we are for your love and affection,There's no doubt you were headed in the right direction.You made us happy in so many ways,it's been a whole year,but it seems like days.There are so many ways which you made us proud,watching you with your friends,you were the life of the crowd.We were always concerned when you walked out the door,Now the Lord is your shepherd,we don't worry anymore.Your friends still come over,We know that they care-Not to mention that your spirit is everywhere.This is not the beginning-nor is it the end-One day we will all be together again.Your new life in heaven has just begun-But we just want to think you for being our son!
We Love You Son!
God Bless You

Hi son-it has taken me three years to push back some of my pain to put into words how your death has turned my world around.People say that you cannot be friends with your kids,but that's not true.Not only were you my son,you also were my friend for life and after.There is a big piece of my heart that's missing,your smile,your laugh,will always remain in my mind.You left gold and silver here on earth in many hearts.JR. i feel God knew you had did enough here.so it was time for you come home with him.Between the tears i am happy for you Baby Boy.Here on earth,evilness plays an everyday roll.Sometimes i feel i can't handle it,But with GODS strength, there's nothing i can't do!I look at your picture all the time and knowing you are enjoying your new residents in Heaven where i long to also be one day!So i know i will see you again, so,until then, Love You, Here and after!
