I went to church with my best friend this year, I thought it would be too hard to go to the church you went too..... But I cried so hard at church with brittany.....your absence is still so hard for me to deal with...Its harder on daddy...you are all we think about.
The other day my mother bought cucumbers and all I could do is think of you. You know you love them cucumbers. But yea we miss you .....ALOT...... works been ok....its a little overwhelming but I think I can handle it.

We miss you so much.......keep watching over us..

Hey Gram,
Happy 1st Easter in Heaven. I just wanted to let you know Easter was nice for us. We missed you a lot but it was nice over all. After church. Oh and you had to see ya pretty boy today; he was the center of attention in church and just kept kissing Auntie Cathy.

I had dinner at my house.
Thank God you taught me how to cook because i had a house full of hungry men with the last name Gaynor. Hahahah.
Anyway I cooked: Rice & peas, ox tail, escovished fish, curry shrimp corn on the cob and a salad. I also baked pumkin pie, carrot cake and a lemon crumb cake. It was delicious Daddy and Uncle Nigel pigged out.

Anyway as for me I am so tired because I was up early. So I'll be there sometime this week to visit you.

I love you dearly always and forever.

HI GRAMZ!!! sry I haven't wrote to you in so long but you already know whats been going on with me... The other night I had a dream about you and I woke up crying.
I had a dream that you was at niki's house going through the front door to throw something away and I took a glimpse at you then I started talking to you telling you how much I miss you.
Thats crazy rite its still so extremely hard for me to deal with you not being here in my presence..... physically.

Daddy is still grieving and I hate to see him that way it hurts me so much.
Grams DJ is too much for me to handle he is growing up so fast and I very much cherish the time I get to spend with him. Thats my heart and I live for him.
But talk to you soon LOVE YOU THE MOST!!!!!***

Niki & DJ

February 5, 2008

Hey Gram,
Its me! I was not feeling well this weekend and all I thought of was you. I know you would have made me some soup and told me to rub down with this and that. As much as I would have refused the rubbing down and drinking the nasty tea, as grown as I am you would have forced me. HaHaHaHa.

Sometimes I am sitting here cracking up to myself. Thinking about you and the things you use to say and do.
Naomi was reminding me of when we use to live in Bloomfield and she came to live with us....(She called me all the way from England in the middle of the night) cracking up about that story of when you caught her at my room window we were cracking up.

Anyway her and Danae are suppose to be coming over to spend time with me and DJ.
Danae is growing so big and she already has the english accent(so cute).
However, DJ talks about you so much especially, when he does that "Lord, Whoa, Stuckiee!"

We were at Uncle Nigel's this Sunday for the Super Bowl and he came out of nowhere with that and he was mocking you and said Gram Say " Stop dat I don'like dat" he said it in patois everybody was on the floor rolling.
But until next time!!!

Niki & Pretty BoyD.J.

January 30, 2008

Hey Gram,
I was just thinking about you sitting here in my room watching your pretty boy sleeping.
Why wont he stay in his room and sleep in his own bed.

In the middle of the night he comes sneaking in my room.

He is growing so big and so smart. Geesh this boy knows everything.

Lil Mamaz is getting so big too. She is so beautiful a mixture of her mama and daddy.

Anyway I spoke to Naomi tonight as usual she had me cracking up. We talk at least 1 time a week.
But I guess I will talk to you later and let me get some rest.

Love You Always & Forever.

Your Monkey (Niki)

January 21, 2008

Hey Gram,
Saturday the 19th was your birthday and I was so unease all day I isolated myself that day and tried to shop for the house and take my mind off of things.
I know if you were here, there would have been a list on the fridge, with the things you want for your birthday.

Oh I miss you so much.

D.J and I are all settled in we love our new home, nice yard space, plenty of cookouts this summer, we are so happy. I just wish you were here to share this with me.
I know that you are so proud and that you are watching over us. I also felt your presence at the new house,, I guess you were making sure I wasn't cooking in your pressure cooker, LOLOLOLOL.
Well thursday the 24th is DJ birthday, I could remember the day I went in to have him and you were in the room like you were one of the nurses.
You were too funny that day!!!!
Anyway until next time I love you and keep protecting all of us.

Hey Grams we miss you so much Christmas and New Years wasnt the same without you because I'm use to calling you to tell you what I had got for Christmas but instead I said it aloud knowing that you were paying close attention to what I was telling you.

Then New Years that was the hardest I didn't even call anyone to wish them a HAPPY NEW YEAR how is it going to be happy with you gone. Rite now you would have been getting ready to go down to jamaica for yor birthday. We ate duck yesturday only if you were here you would of said "Danny mi don't want it" but you still ate lickle piece. When we got home from the resturant I picked up a picture of you that we had blown up and put it rite by my bedside talking to you telling you everything thats going on and what was on my mind.

Other than the pain of you not being here my Christmas was fine I spent the day with DJ you know thats my heart.
Love you so much your Din Din***

Yeah grams Thanksgiving was so difficult this year like Niki said.

Mommy, Daddy,Marquis, me and Tahj all stayed home this year. It was just us; Tishawn , Niki and DJ came over later on I was happy. It was so wierd after we ate I went to my room to cry just thinking of you. But one thing I could say is that mommy threw down on the cooking. Member how you had thought her to make oxtail and curry goat she made it and it tasted the best. I was telling Daddy how I miss you so much and he said he misses you too.

Oh god why? Why grams?

I look at the colleague they made of you for your funeral everyday and start to cry.Its still so hard to deal with.
I feel sick to my stomach all the time thinking of you especially "when mi coulda eat sometin nice".

Guess what grams Daddy was eating jello the other day and he said the only reason why he eating it is because he misses you so much.

Well love you!!!!

OH YEA LIL MAMAS TURNED 1 YESTURDAY!!

Nakaya

November 30, 2007

Hey Gram,
I just wanted to let you know Thanksgiving this year was so different for us. All though we all wanted to be together we just wasn't in the spirit. I actually got up and went to work that morning.

I know this is a very difficult time for the family, and though we promised to stick together and stay in touch its almost like we are not doing so because we are still grieving.

Right now, we are all going through our own little moments because you are not here to make sense out of this non-sense.

However, I am counting on you from above to help heal this open cut on the family.

I miss you so much and wishing you were here daily.

Love You Always,
Nakaya & Damion-Danik

HEY GRAMMA, EVERYTIME I COME ON YOUR GUESTBOOOK AND READ WHAT NIKI WRITES I GET TEARY-EYED AND THEN START BALLIN MY EYES OUT.EVERY WEEKEND WHEN I GO TO YOUR HOUSE I FIND MYSELF GOING SRAIGHT TO YOUR ROOM TO LAY DOWN. THEN I START TO TALK TO MYSELF AS IF YOU WERE THERE TO TELL YOUR PURE MIX-UP ANLY TO FIGURE OUT YOUR NOT THERE TO RESPOND.

LIKE NIKI SAID DADDY IS DOING WAY BETTER AND WHEN HE GOES TO YOUR GRAVE HE'S BETTER TIMES 10.

I LOVE BEING AROUND MY BIG SISTER AND MY NEPHEW WITHOUT THEM I WOULD GO CRAZY.
ME AND NIKI HAVE BEEN FALLING APART BUT DONT WORRY YOU KNOW ME WE WILL SOONER OR LATER FALL BACK TO OUR OWN ROUTINES. BUT GOT TO GO i'M IN CLASS AND THE BELL BOUT TO RING LOVE YOU ALWAYS.

Nakaya

November 6, 2007

Hey Grams,
I was thinking of you today as I realize it is getting closer to the holidays. I know this year it will be so different for us because you are not there physically; But spiritually we know where you are and know that your presence will bless us as we get closer to each day.

Last year Thanksgiving you weren't feeling well and had too go home early; this year at least we know you are ok and no more sickness and pain.
But before I go i want to tell you one more thing, Daddy, has shown such improvement and for the most part it looks like he will be okay I know you know he visits your grave site at least 3 times a week sometimes 3 times in one day. But his mood seems better once he leaves there. I know he will be okay just keep your wings around him. and as for me I feel your presence everyday at home and I know I am safe.
Love You always

Hi GRAMS just writing to say HellO! Grams I think of you everyday I try to stay strong but how can I when your gone? Just like Niki said Grams open your wings and let daddy know it's going to be alright because I don't think he knows that yet.

Gramma it is so weird with you not around..... Earlier this week when I spoke to Niki I wanted to ask her what you were doing? I thought about that question ... and it hit me..... your in heaven having the time of your new life of course and I know she would of said the same thing or she probably would of said "you were with god."

Guess what... I'm bout to take my SAT in december can't wait....I just want to graduate and go to college you know to be on my own!!!

But let me go and do what I have to do around the house just had to take some time to write you and say that.... I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!

To my Family:
I haven't been able to get to the house or even to the funeral because of my complications I have been having with this pregnancy. Uncle Donald and Uncle Nigel Auntie Nette and Natalie and Gay ,You all are blessed to have had a mother such as Grandma.She was and will always be special and God called her because this battle wasn't hers. She fought for long enough and Now she is smiling down on all of you saying "look at my kids,look at my grands and my great grands you guys carry on where she left off and I promise you when you meet with Grandma again She will look at you smile and say, I knew you could do it.Nikki you already know I love you,You have been there when others wasn't, my wedding day you ran around like a mad woman and made sure I felt like a Princess, I am sorry I am not in a good state where I could be all that to you but know this you are always in my prays. You are going to make it and know that God does not make mistakes.Sometimes people are selfish and don't want to let go but listen I know that God called Grandma home because her struggle was over. She Paid her way and made a way for other and now God Made a way for her. She feels no more Pain and you better believe she is up in Heaven living. Now you ALL have to live. Love you all. There wouldn't be a Walcott without Gaynor but there side.

To My Best Friend/Sister Niki,

I want you to know that no matter how many times we fuss and fight I've always consider you my other half. You know we have shared so many laughs on 22 Sharon St. We can probably write a book. I know that it's not going to be easy waking up not hearing grandma's voice or footsteps but you will make it through. I did so I know you will! Look back at all the fond memeories of grandma and think of this way you were blessed to have such a beautiful and loving person in your life. That goes for me too. I was blessed to have you as a friend and her as an second grandmother. Just remember that I will always be here for you no matter what and I will always LOVE YOU!!!!


To: Daddy, Auntie Annette,Auntie Natalie, and Uncle Nigel

You all will be in my prayers. Grandma is O.K now no more pain or sadness for her. She is now looking down saying "Job Well Done". She has raised 4 beautiful and loving children. I jus want to say Thank You for taking me and my daughter and loving just as we were you own.

Nakaya Gaynor (Niki)

October 1, 2007

Gramma,
This morning as I awaken and realized the house was quiet, I thought back to all the times we would be there and daddy,uncle auntie and everybody would come and make noise and you and I just look at each other like "dag why they just don't go home now we wanna watch Law and Order in peace!" Laughing to ourselves because we were never home alone they was always there. I realized there goes the piece and quiet we wanted but it felt sooo empty.

As I approached you room this morning hoping to see you to tell you "DJ and I are leaving now", I realize that is just a routine that I will soon have to break out of because you are no longer there.
I dont know how or when I will be able to break certain routines with you not there.
But what I do know is that you have blessed us with so many wonderful and supportive friends and family members that I know I will survive this.
I was scared at first but Thursday and Friday night as I looked around the backyard filled (and I mean filled) with everybody I felt this sudden relief and told myself, "it will be ok."

So this morning as I drove to work teary-eyed, DJ in the back in his car seat,(yes gram he left his seatbelt on) A picture of you in the front with me, I said "This is the very first day of my new routine and guess what? It will be ok!" Just then the sun got brighter and I knew at that moment you had just then reassured me!

I love and Miss you so much!

She was a special person who enriched the lives of so many people. Mrs. Gaynor was a true angel and I am sure she has a special place in heaven. Be encouraged and know that God always takes care of his own. Weeping endureth for the night, but joy comes in the morning. God Bless!

To the Gaynor family and friends:
I so sorry for your lost. You now all have that one special angle to watch over you.

To:Niki
There is nothing that I can say that will ease the pain that you are going thru right now. But you must stay strong and keep your head up. Nothing is harder then losing someone who you dearly loved. I am sure you heard this over and over again, that you will get thru this and be leave me (TIME DO HEAL ALL WOUNDS). For some reason GOD chose for you to live under the same roof as her to share the same air, water and food that she used. The last thing you heard at night from time to time was her voice and the first thing you saw in the morning from time to time was her face. It is little things like that, that we, as people pay no attention to at that very moment. You are blessed to have so many memories that will forever stay with you. You can and will be able to one-day think of your lost loved with out tears of pain; they will be tears of joy because you have so much to remember. Keep smiling cause she now sees it all.
