Darling Drew,
Happy Valentine's Day! I hope you have found your final resting place in the arms of our wonderful Lord. Did you find Grandma and Grandpa, and the rest of the crowd. I trust you did, and that you all are having fun. I promise to watch out for your mom, and your younger sister and brother. May your precious soul rest in peace.Your loving Great Auntie Bebe.

Rest in ever lasting peace until His return Lil Drew ~ as the Word tells us;

To the Holmes Family.
Words cannot express the love that will be missed. Even though we did not personally know Lil Andrew we feel the pain from the love of his family. May God keep you all strong and may the peace of God's love endure in your hearts. Yes Andrew will be missed but remember you will see him again.
Love Your Friends,
Jose and Sheila Reveron and Family

Your sister went back to school today for the first time since you left us. I didn't think it would be so hard for me. I concentrated on her so much I forgot to think how this would affect me. As I was combing her hair, all I could remember was the numerous time I did that while telling you to get ready so you two didn't miss the bus. Drew I miss you so much and my heart hurts daily with out you. I know your resting and I'm happy about that but what a horrible life to have to live with out you now. Everything is so hard right now, even the simplest daily task brings pain because it also brings a memory of you and the loss of you. I seems like not only your life ended that day but also mine and I'm somehow trying to get started again but nothing is working out. I don't even know what to do about this hole in my chest any more. I know you can't see this but I feel as if this is my only connection to you right now. I miss you so much baby.

To my everloving nephew, Drew,
Where do I start? Your love, adoration and devotion means a lot me. Oh! how I remember the days you helped me to make roti and curried chicken - dish you loved so much. I can still see your little fingers mixing the flour, and playing with the chicken. Drew I will give anything to turn back the hands of time, and have you near to me. Our family is really going through a hard time dealing with all of this, but we are consoled day by day, knowing that you are with the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Little Drew I wish I was prepared for this, but then again no one is ever prepared for this. You were so young, full of love and energy. Always ready to help! I pray every day that God finds you a resting place. You will forever be remembered by me. I love you and God be with you till we meet again.

My Darling Drew,
I really miss you. My heart aches for your presence, your beautiful smile, your special hugs and your " I luv you Grandma." Drew you have left an empty space in my heart, I love you forever. You are my little angel! I am going to cherish all the wonderful memories you left me. I will never forget you. How can I? You brought so much joy into my life, you are a part of me. I pray that you are in the arms of the Lord and that you are one of His Angels now. You are forever etched in my heart. My love, hugs and kisses. May your soul rest in peace. God's grace be with you.

"Yea though I walk through the valley of shadow of death I will fear no evil for thou are with me; Thy rod and staff, they comfort me." May the God of strength and comfort be with you at this time of your pain and grief. May you find peace with him. I will continue to pray for your family.

My prayers and love go out to Shevaun, Tahanee and little Daniel. Drew was a wonderful young man and I was fortunate to have had him touch my life. I will always remember our day at Europa Park and his delightful laughter at my terror on riding on the rollarcoaster! I am honored to have known him. He is in God's hands now... God Bless all you!

In times of hurt you never know what to say, and the nature of humans in most cases is to say "WHY". Drew I wasnt with you all of your life, but the part that I did get to see, is one that I will always cherish. I can remember the day I said to your mom "He is an excellent child, and a good brother, I need my son to learn from him." And from that day you amazed me with your care and love for your siblings as well as your mom. I can not get my mind around that fact that you are no longer on this earth with us, and that all I have are the few memories of you. I can not imagine what your mother and father are feeling... it is truly hurting for me to talk of you in past tense, and I find myself at a loss of words... i understand that death is no enemy to man, but i cant help but ask GOD why. Drew, I will truly miss you, and i will always have nothing but beautiful memories of you. You were a great young man!

As I remember all your vibrant smiles, I reflect on the times we exchanged smiles. We all miss you very much but we know God promises for us to see you again. The next time will be forever. I will treasure all my memories of you in my heart. Our entire family will grow together in ways that God will be pleased with. I bought some coloring books, crayons, construction paper and markers for your sister and brother today. There's a traditional phrase that our ancestors would say, "it takes a village to raise a child" and indeed it does. I wrote this poem for you, my dear nephew. It's entitled, "God's Child".
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is Our God Above in Heaven
His child pure in heart
And full of love
We'll miss you, my sweet child
We'll see you after while
Your eyes so sparkling with peace & truth
Your hair so shiny like the sun in the sky
Your energy so busy, loved to see you climbing trees, playing ball...
Your warm embrace we will feel again
Because God promised we will
Our eyes will meet in God's Divine Time
God's Grace, Love, Mercy and Peace will prevail
We will miss you, my sweet child, so pure in heart, like a dove that flies above
Loving you always,
Your Auntie Angela, Uncle Darryl & family

Baby
Today's your Birthday and I'm so lost. I should be waking you up with kisses instead of waking up in pain. I'll take your brother and sister to the play ground and we'll get a little cake for you but what I really want to do is stay asleep all day long. I love you Drew and I'll continue to carry on as best as we all can.

This happiness is what I hold close to my heart. To my mentor and friend Sheavun may you and your family find peace in God's love and in Andrew's happiness.

Today I dropped your dad off at the airport Pooh Bear. Before he got out the car, we talked about the many times we have had to drop each other off for flights that took us all apart for a while. Daddy remembered a particular time when you and him dropped me off and how much I was crying because I didn't want to leave you two. I remembered the first time you left Germany with Tahanee and Daddy and how much I cried. I remember that you were four at the time and you looked over at me and said "don't cry mom, it'll be alright." Now I cry all the time and would give my life just to be able to have you here with us now. We know you are resting now and daily Daddy and I pray for Jehovah's Kingdom so that we can see, hug and kiss you again. I love you so much my baby boy and will forever keep on the watch for that glorious day when we can once again show you how special you truly are to us. Daddy, Tahanee, Daniel and I miss you so much, but we will try to live and take care of each other the way we know you would want us too, so that we can truly honor your memory and the brief period God blessed us with your presence. Baby we love you so much. Rest now, my beloved and by the grace of God we will meet again soon, our wonderful son.

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of our precious cousin Drew. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. My prayer is that the family will love and support each other while seeking God for the strength to face each day. Grieve for Drew, think of Drew, hold onto every memory of him in your heart. God has given the Holy Spirit as the Great Comforter. Draw close to God and cast every care upon Him because He cares for you and only He understands what you are going through.

We were deeply saddened to hear of the sudden death of your son and our cousin. We are sorry that we were unable to be with you all at this time, but our prayers and thoughts are with you and the family. I know what it is like to lose a child...you will get through this, what helped me most was to look back on the "good times" and memories. We love you all and keep on looking upward to God for strength to face each new day, realizing that "Drew" was special and
precious, not only on earth, but in the heavenly kingdom. There is even a more richer life after death.
