I cannot believe how fast time goes by us Sharon. You have been in my thoughts and prayers this entire week. You know I always say you have a very special guardian angel sitting on that shoulder of yours. You and Hosea are in my thought and prayers. Your son Hosea is looking down upon you and your hubby every minute of every day. You and Hosea keep your son alive every day by how special the two of you are! Sending love, hugs and prayers. Love you!

So sorry to hear of his passing. I know I haven't seen him in a very long time, but I remember him from elementary school. I moved to virginia in 5th grade and always wondered how he was. We were always neck and neck for top grades at D.N. Fell. Rest in peace Hosea. My condolences to you Mr. And Mrs. Baker.

Sharon, I am thinking about you and Hosea today and sending both of you hugs and love. I cannot believe it has been 15 years since Hosea has moved on to heaven and became your very special guardian angel. Always remember, you have a very special angel sitting on your shoulder taking care of you. Love you.

Son, today you turned 33 and you were not here to celebrate with me. I took you some balloons and sang you the birthday song with tears in my eyes and in my heart all along. If you take a look you cannot see what losing you has done to me. A part of me died that will never be revived. A part of me lives as you would want me to live. Hosea you are the best that happened to me and I am thankful for you . Forever and ever!
Mom

Grief can be so hard, and like you say, no one knows the daily struggle of your loss. I get it, and I am always here for you to talk to. God Bless your son and your family.

Sharon Baker

March 10, 2021

Dubie, 2020 has come & gone, thank Goodness. Now it is 2021 and all that I can do is think about you, my son. Last year was so rough in so many ways. That Covid 19, a virus that killed over 500 000 people here in the US but millions around the world, the civil unrest that brought about Black Lives Matter, a movement to address the injustice & unfair treatment of black people, go figure!! and my anger from losing you. I was mad at the world. I was not in a good place but most would not have known. And they probably won't unless they read this. But this is a new year, I am praying for a better year not just for me but for all. You know how we do. I will forever love you, forever miss you & keep you alive in my heart, you are my heartbeat. With all my LOVE! MOM

Joanne

March 9, 2020

For my friend Sharon Baker, my heart is with you all the time, but especially this time of year.
I know your heart will never fully heal. I hope you can feel his love every day as his spirit is with you.....In a rainbow, the clouds, and other subtle ways. Love you!

Hey Son,
We all know time move on but at this particilar time, it seems like it is standing still. Eleven years has passed since your address was changed to Heaven, lane boulevard street road. There is not a moment in everyday that I don't think of you, sometimes in tears, sometimes in laughts, sometimes in smiles. I see something on TV, a scene in a movie, a song on the radio it all brings me back to you. I miss your hugs so much, you would lift me off the ground while hugging me so tight & I would say "Dubie out me down". I miss that so much... with every beat of my broken heart

Sharon Baker

July 17, 2017

On this day, July 17th,1988, the best thing in the whole world happened to me, I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy bouncing baby boy, Hosea A Baker Jr aka Scoop but my Dubie. I was overwhelmed with joy. I never thought I could have loved one person so much because I had so much love to give. Today, 29 years later, my love for Hosea has not changed one little bit and that love never will. But now I have to send Happy Birthday wishes to my son in Heaven. With undying love from ever beat of my Heart. Mom!!

It has been 5 years today since you went away. It hurts as much now as it did on that horrible day. My love for you will never go away because my broken heart is here to stay. I remember you came home from work, showered and walked out the door but I never would have thought you would not walk in anymore. Hosea, I am so lost without you but I know you will continue to help me make it thru. I will love you forever!! MOM

Happy Birthday Son my Gaurdian Angel!
Today is your birthday and tomorrow is mine because of this we have a very special bond. There is no love like a Mother's love for her Son, especially when she only has one. You are the best gift I have ever received in my life. And I want to thank you for wrapping me in your Angel Wings when I was going through those medical things. If it was not for the Grace of God, I would be right by your side but you let me know that it was not my time to go. For this I am eternally greatful. You are my gift that keeps on giving.

March 19, 2010

Oh Dubie,it has been 1,105 days since you left this Earth and moved to Heaven, it hurts as much today as it did on day 1, March 10, 2007 the worst day of our lives. I do not know what to say because words can not express the pain I feel everyday since you went away. I shed tears of joy for the times we shared and tears of pain because you left me to soon. My heart still beats eventhough it is broken. I try to smile eventhough I'm sad. I try to keep on living whats left of this life because I know that is what you would want me to do. I still breath when I feel like I can't. And I try to be strong for others who miss you too. I thank God for giving you to me because you made my life complete. I only wish you were still here. Again, you us left to soon. Your Family and Friends miss you dearly. You will Forever be Loved and Missed. Until we met again Son. With all my Love MOM

Mrs. Sharon & Mr. Hose
I am so truly sorry for the loss of your son, Hosea, who I absolutely love with all of my heart. Hosea was a wonderful person and meant so much to me. He wasn’t just my boyfriend, he was my best friend. Hosea was always there for me when I needed him and the one person I could talk to about anything because he was so understanding. I want you to know that Hosea changed my life forever. He made me see things from a different point of view and changed my outlook on life. He was there to give me support when I needed it no matter what the issue was. The main things Hosea taught me was what was important in life and to never give up on something if you wanted it bad enough. Hosea always made me happy no matter he had to do. He could just look at me with that beautiful smile and make my life worthwhile. I want you to know that I Love your son dearly and I always will. I cannot express to you how much I would have loved to spend my life with Hosea. Me and Hosea would always say, "were gona get married and have little babies" I would have loved that and not just because I would be with Hosea but because the two of you would be apart of me and maybe my children’s lives. You both are amazing people and in the past month and a half I realized that Hosea was the way he was because the two of you. I will always be here for you. Even though Hosea's not here anymore I will still come see you and call all the time because you were meant to be in my life. If this tragedy never happened you would be in my life so I'm not legging you go now. Hosea would want us to still keep in touch. I wish in some way I could take away the pain and heartache but I know the only way would be to have our baby back and as much as it hurts we know that it can't happen. Life just is not the same without Hosea. I'm hurting so much right now and I only knew him for six years, I cannot begin to imagine how you feel. Just know that I’m here whenever you need me and never forget we have a guardian angel that will be watching over us through every step and don't ever think Hosea's not here because he's right next to you. Always remember the good times and the memories you had with your son, I know its hard because I have a hard time doing it but that is what we have to do. Keep in mind Hosea does not want you to be sad.
I Love You Both
Your Daughter in law

To Hosea' Mom and Dad
I try to remember the day before
This disaster came and hit us all.
He was a friend, a son and more
all those who knew him loved him well.
I try to remember the week before
he was taken away and all was gone.
I even try to remember back to a month before
I harassed him, made him laugh, and still my words were explored.
But as I try to remember more and more
the thing that runs through my mind the most is his laughs and his smiles
the best of it all.
I didn't know him for many years but for the time that I knew him he was a good friend.
When one was feeling down he had his way
he made them smile throughout the whole day.
Over and over this message will play.
So said simply so simply said
if we were free to be afraid,
he came stayed went and left,
Although we know this was not his will,
is all so so, for we miss him still.
I wish you well and he loves both of you!

To hosea my brother
Even though we didn't get to know each other more you still were my brother and i love you untill we meet again

I cannot imagine the pain you are going through right now. All that I can tell you is that we are praying for you and keeping you in our thoughts. Every day you receive a great big hug from the IRA Department to you. We love you and Hosea and the loss that you feel is a loss that we feel but only you as Hosea's mommy and daddy can know the true meaning of that loss. You now have a very specail guardian angel looking over you. We will never understand the reason your baby was taken from you but it is a reason that only God knows. You will understand that "special" reason when you join Hosea in heaven when it is your special time. We love you Sharon and Hosea. Wrap one another up with your love and be strong for the other. Remember that you are our sunshine!

Joanne Jupiter

March 20, 2007

Dear Sharon & Hosea,

Jasmine Harrington

March 19, 2007

To the Baker Family,

I pray that the Holy Spirit, the great Comforter, stays among all that are mourning this loss. It's always sad to lose someone, but it's doubly tragic when that person is young. I attended Central with Hosea, and I never really knew him, but I saw him in passing. I pray that God wipes every tear, and makes this a growing, strengthening experience. God bless you all, you're in my prayers.

Jherica Pugh

March 19, 2007

To The Baker Family,
I knew Hosea, although not very well, because we had a class together and sometimes spoke to each other. One memory that I will never forget is our first conversation; Hosea asked for some of my chips and I told him NO, this was the spark of many other short conversations. I am happy to have known him is extremely sorry for your loss and you will most definitely be in my prayers.

Katalie

March 18, 2007

Baker family, I am sorry for your loss. I went to school with Hosea and athough we werent close I feel that a part of our 265 family is missing. I wish your family all blessings and comfort that only God can provide.

R.I.P.HOSEA "SCOOP" BAKER

It didn’t seem possible
why did he go?
he was perfect and kind
loved even more so

His smile a picture
like an angel you see
He was an angel above
the best friend to me

It seemed so unfair
now he is gone
Someone explain
what did go wrong

I wished he was back
but it wasn’t true
His shoes by the door
the sky still is blue

But now he has gone
the clouds darken in
Grey sky’s above
the angels do sing

He’s somewhere up there
and he is ok
I just wish he was back
back here today

I will never forget him
in memory he’ll be
The best friends ever
and that you will see

Scoop--
I'll always love you and I'll see you at the crossroads. My heart is broken.

Togetherness
Death is nothing all
I have only slipped away into the next room.
Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.
Call me by my familiar name,
speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Laugh as we always laugh
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort.
Life means all that is ever meant.
It is the same that is ever was;
there is absolutely unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of your mind
because I am out of sight?
I am but waiting for you, for an interval,soemwhere very near just around the corner.
All is well. Nothing is past; nothing is lost.
One brief moment and all will be as it was
before -- only better, infinitely.
Happier and forever
we will be one together with Christ
