Hey Dee,

I am very sadden today because I printed a post to you Monday on your birthday and I didnt see it yesterday, so I sent a email to the guest book keepers yesterday and they responded today... Come to find out, since I had song/wrote the words to the Happy B-day song they could not post my entry to you. I had no idea... if so I would never have said the entire song or would have at least abbreviated the word...LOL Well Dee, they said they will post my entry and omit the b-day song part. Until then... Just know I would never let the words on that day pass me by...Ur always on my mind!
Luv U, Miss Ya, Thinking of YOU!!!

Until next time ~ As always, 1LUV

Brother,

Happy Birthday!!!! I wanted to write you this before 12am but you know me.... Man I can't beleve it been almost two years that you been gone. I miss you so much. Well let me inform you on whats been going on. Well Madison is all grown and just so independent. When Madison, Nico, and Ahmad get together its nothing but trouble....:) funny a mini verison of you and Mike. Daddy is still him you already know that never going to change. He thinks now cause he's losing weight he back in his military days. Mommy is just mommy. You know the cleaning, cooking, watching her figure since she's losing weight too. Just keeping busy. I know she miss you like crazy,,, my son this my son that... Man Shenese and I would tell her Darrell is just a mamas boy. And she would say leave him alone. Shenese will be graduating in January. Tyrell is still her no change in that and she got a man now and smile more. Can you believe that, we were shock too.

But me it's rough, but I'm going to get through it. Funny how we were come to you for advice or anything. Weird that now I'm speaking out loud and answering my own question. No I'm not crazy just dont have you on the other side of the phone or coming to your house sitting in the chair by your bed while you in the bed smoking your Newports and drinking you pomergrante pear drink. I know that you are listening but i just can't hear your response.
I just miss you so much that I try not to think of you gone. When I do think of it I just want to crawl in a corner and spill it all out. Just going to 210 makes it hard. It's just that i know but just dont want to accept the fact. But I know that Grandma Virginia, Uncle June, Uncle Charles, Kim, Aunt Jean and Aunt Doris are there with you. I miss all of yall....

Until we are united again Be Our Angel and Watch Over All Of Us....

Love you Always and Forever My Brother

Hey Cuz,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LOVE!

I know its been awhile since the last time I wrote to you and Im glad I still have a chance to. Its been hard to put words together because my mind hasnt adjusted to the fact that your not physically here...But like everyone has said before, we have so many good memories to hold on to which keeps your spirit alive. As my mom said, I did put something together that meant so much to your mom and It didnt take me no time to put it together. I remember you use to talk about me being a "computer wiz"..lol. Everytime I watch the dvd, water comes to my eyes because its so unreal that I was making something to remember you by. Well Cuz, I must go, I writing to you from my desk at work. Oh yea, your girl is not in the Warehouse anymore, Im working in Outpatient Surgery now.(God is truly GOOD!) It was time to move on, and I know if you were still working at the hospital, you would probably visit whenever you had the chance :-). Well love, once again I want to wish you a very happy birthday and know that we love you and miss you dearly...

Hey Son,

I'm so glad that the book is back on and I get to express my feelings once again.

It's now hard knowing that your birthday is the day before Ennie and my anniversary. A sad day followed by a happy one.

Not a day goes by that I don't think about you and miss you dearly. Thinking about what Lisa said, I did have your last voice message to me saved, and whenever I was down or just wanted to hear your voice I would play the recording. I had that message saved over and over for a whole year. But sadly somehow I didn't save it before time and it was finally deleted. That was a hard pill to swallow because that was one of my life lines.

Well son once again, "Happy Birthday" and I love and miss you so very much.

August 27, 2010

Darrell it is Aunt Joyce I am still here at what was known as Arlington Hospital is now Virginia Hospital Center a mouth full. As Lisa mention there are things that we come across that bring you to mind a song a item someone may mention you in a conversation you my love left a lasting impression this is a very good thing. You like Grandmom did this for us when we are sad we have a lot of good memory that make us feel a little better. Crystal compose something for your Mom on a DVD for those days when she want relax with you . We are planning on sharing this with the other members of the family. Things here at the hospital are still the same Dan, Moe, Staphan, and Polly are still hanging in there. There so much I want to say but the words aren't there. The big thing we miss you very much and love you my sweet Nephew

Love Aunt Joyce

Hey Darrell,

I am so Happy it is still available for me to write to you (even tho' I wrote a book last entry) ;^} But as I always say I Miss You a bunch and think of you all the time! It could be a picture I run across, a poem I read, a scent I smell and mostly from the Songs I hear (those special ones)! There are So many things that come across my path and I think of You and SMILE! The only thing I havent come across is the sound of a voice... and I so longgggg and wish I could hear your voice again, whether you would be fussing, or singing, I truely miss hearing Your Voice the most! But... I'm not going to go down that path, Imma keep it Short and Sweet and Say I Miss You and Love You Always...

4 days and counting til the Big Day... I'll talk to you then!

Good Morning Darrell,

Sorry I ending my conversation so suddenly yesterday but I became overwhelmed with everything. Seeing all the pictures of you, with the kids, with me, with the family... the family that We should be sharing time with now... together... forever... wowwww, it was a little too much! So I want to say, Sorry for that! You know I would not leave without saying I Miss You and I Love You, so I got myself together and Came back today!

So where I left off was about seeing everyone in the pictures... Look at the Babies!!! You talked about them during one of our conversations but I don't think you told me about Ms. Madison. I could be wrong tho'. But they are all so beautiful, what a Proud Uncle you were even tho' U had a few choice words about the "fella's" in their lives...LOL But that was just you being a Protective Brother! As you Always was!!! LOL But I Miss everyone & I hope that they all know it!!!

And look at Dad... OMG, He doing it!!!
Hey Ma', Hey Tyrell... they looking like sisters! Da'Quan "is that you" Looking all grown, looking like ur Uncle D'! Jamesha... hey missy. Ur uncle us to say You and Jalah looked alike. I last saw you playing ur instrument at a program where Jasmine was playing her clarinet at about 2 years ago. You growing up so quick. I know it has been awhile because Ahmad is a big boy now and I remember when Tyrell was like "girl, yes I am, Im Pregnant"... LMBO, I just laughed at her and said "Yeah right, stop lying"... But I guess the laugh was on me! I never met him but I felt like I did because you talked about them a lot, I believe you said ya'll called him "white~boy or red~man"... but now I get to put a face to him. And Mr Nico... looking like a handsome version of Shen! Hey Shen... Congrats on mother hood! And Ms Nesha... Girl I haven't seen you since those Fridays, every week, when we use to see each other "and I never told your brother like you asked either"... LOL LOL... But Congrats to you too on momma hood. I Miss You Gurl!!! I can't remember is Darrell told me about the baby girl, so she may have been born afterward... But either way, I know Dee Loves her just the same! You know he had a special place in his heart for little girls!

Darrell... look at the Boys!!! Or should I say Young Men. They are looking just like their dad!
Daron is almost a teenager! Watch out girls... if he is anything like you he will have them calling sooner than later, LOL You use to say I gotta watch this one he slick... well if he has half the charm you had that slick will definitely turn into Smooth wit the ladies!
And DJ... Darrell Jr "the 1st born 2nd"... He use to be so quiet & mannered, I would laugh every time he would say "Yes Sir, Yes Sir" after every word he would say to you... Im laughing right now thinking bout it. But one thing I learned from you doing that is, Respect has to be learned at a young age or you will never get it when they are older! So THANK YOU for Raising 2 respectful young men into this world and having Nacarto do the same while he was with you!

Well "D Scoot"... according to your guest book this is the last time I will be speaking to you in writing that will be only shared with your own special page. But of course I will be talking to you on a frequent basis! I am not going to ramble on or "Talk your Melon off" like you said to me, but I am going to end this sweet and simple...

I Miss You Deeply...
Love Alwayz & 4Ever...
Unconditionaly Yours...

DARRELL!!!!!!

I had NO idea Your guestbook was still online! Image my surprise when I got to work and the first email that pops up is a Legacy.com email for "Darrell L. Sellers Sr... Lord my heart dropped! Then when I opened it up I see entries from the last few months... I can't believe I missed all these months of expressing myself to you in written words! I talk to you so much that you know everything going on with me anyway but just thinking I missed something else is kinda hard! But I guess this day was meant to pop up this way.

As Im certain you know, I have had a rough time this weekend with thinking back on my past. As we talked about during one of our last conversation Nick got killed 7/17, 3 yr ago, and you played apart in his 3 kids life as the father figure that he didn't. But it is just rough when the dates come around and I realize that you both are gone! But I give thanks to the Lord because You played an Amazing roll in their lives and they still remember!

Its funny how things happen because I was in my mothers office last week and she has pictures on a board and I was just looking at the picture of You and Jalah and was just talking to you like you were right there... LOL!!! Then I got to thinking 8/30 is not too far away I can use that picture for a Rememberance post in the paper... then I get this email and I see the picture from the same day that you took with all the kids... and that one trumps the one with just Jalah because that is You with your entire "Rainbow Coalition" as you called them!

And THE PICTURES... Wowwwww Look at the Family... the Kids... Wowwww D'!!!! It's toooo early in the morning for these tears but wow how time flys! The Boys are so big now, looking just like You! And the newphews and neices!

I last remember talking to you and you talking about the family and everyone doing well and especially you telling me about your new nephew Nico and I get to see ALL of them! This is GREAT!

Hey Son,

Time is ticking until they take your Guest Book off again. So, I'm taking this time to submit one more entry into it before it closes out this time for good.

Nothing has changed since the last time I wrote in this book. I still love and miss you so very much. Sometimes I still find myself not believing that this real. I know that emptiness will always be in my heart. So, I try to take it one day at a time.

I've been spending time with your boys, trying to at least once or twice a month getting them and taking them out for some type of activity and then dinner and home. I have not mastered the plan of getting them to spend the night so I just cherish what time I can with them. At least, as long as they have time for Grandmom, I know once they are teenagers and looking at girls, that will all change. They are getting so tall, DJ is the same height as Daron. (But I know you know all of this, already!!)

Your Pops still make the weekly trips to check on you. I know I haven't been lately, but I promise to do better. It's just so hard on me, but I do promise to get better.

Well, love I will close now, until we meet again. I LOVE YOU, ALWAYS.

Son,

Today is February 27, 2010, a year today that Pops and myself sponsored this Guest Book. Even though the time is up to view, write, and just open it up. This was one part of my therapy, I knew it was there for me to open at anytime. I know it sounds weird but it makes me a little sad.

But you know you are always and always will be in our hearts, and our thoughts are of you always. We visit and talk about so many memories we have of you. The good times, the bad times, and your goofey times. Of you "just being Darrell"! It's a bitter-sweet feeling. I still have the last voice message you sent me. I still save it and listen to it whenever I feel I need to heart your voice.

You were and always will be loved and missed so very much.

Tyrell your Big Sister

Hey My LiL Brother,

It’s been a long time since I sat down and wrote to you. However, this is the second time I’m trying to express my feeling and thoughts, the first time it was not posted. So, Mom said I need to try it again, So here we go.

Sorry it took me so long . . . I know you are not suppose to ask why... but I also realize that GOD did not make a mistake... I know you are in good hands because you are with the ones who love you.. .Da’Quan said that he was MAD at you..but I explain it to him GOD called you home. It just felt like somebody just came a rewind my life.. I just started thinking , when we were young living on Lowell Street back in the day, How we use to sing the song “ Very Special” with mom’s combs and brushes.

I was telling my kids about how ........I was always very protected of you and will not let anybody touch my LiL Brother, I will fight them in a heart beat. I remember when we had a club house in the wood’s and we all were playing JASON (You, Me and Rayvon, Lamont, Pam and Shawn) and you put your eye at the hole to peek out of it and Rayvon swung those nunchucks and hit you in the eye. I will never forget you went yelling down the street to the house with everybody right behind you and the next day Mom put a Scurl in your hair and sent you to school to take school pictures with a mess up hair do and a black eye with a rotten tooth in the front but you still smiled.

Everything happen for a reason, that’s what they keep telling me. When I sit here just listen to my music in my zone, I just think of different things. Like you acting silly and we I have Daron, if that boy don’t act just like you “goofy”. You know I talk to you just about everyday... I know when you are with me because Ahmad take a look at the ceiling smiling and I ask you see Uncle Darrell, tell him “What’s up uncle Darrell” and that we miss you.... He always saying D up there smiling and I would tell him say goodnight and we love you..Funny how kids can see you, so that a plus with me in my heart, to know that you might not be here in body but in soul you are still with us, so deep down in my mind you are never gone.

“My Brother although your death separates us for now, I know we will meet again”It was hard to let go and I still do not understand why..But I try not to ask why...Some days I sit hear thinking of all the memories as they linger on..see your smile, I hear your laugh and see your face and it’s here where you belong...but I ask “Myself would it be best for you? ”

“Your life here on this earth was not in Vain...You touched so many lives on this earth, with your smile, laughter and your love...I will treasure all of the good and bad times we had together...Because I know we will meet again, but for now I will just stand still and not question GOD reasons, because I know that it was his will..GOD will keep you safe in heaven where one day we will unite...I have a hard time accepting the fact that your gone but, I see why GOD came for you because he want a ANGEL with that smile......I miss you my LIL Brother DXX

Hey Son

Sitting here tonight, with you on my mind. I just wanted to write something to you. I wasn't able to write you since New Year's Eve, so I'm doing it now.

It's been over a year now since you left us, I still find myself just not feeling in my heart that it is true. But sadly in my mind I know it is. I guess emotionally I will never get used to you not being here with me.

I still have you last message saved on my phone, and I continue to save it every 30 days just to have and be able to listen to your voice.

You are always in my heart and thoughts. As your Aunt Joyce said...you are not really gone as long as we have good memories, and that is what we cling to.

Until next time, I love you.

January 21, 2010

Hi There Darrell,
It is your Aunt Joyce still hanging in here at the hospital. Thinking of the many hours we spent here. Dan is still Dan now Crystal works with him. Hey there was a time that they needed to print a sticker from the label machine and Dan was ask to print it he said he didn't know how (smile)
Crystal said you mean you have been here since I was born and you still don't know how to print a lable. Ha Ha
As I said before the person who is gone they aren't really gone as long as we have good memories.
Love you nephew
Until next time

In just a few days will be the anniversary of me hearing of the dreadful news of your passing & your offical day of being laid to rest! I say a year of being off this earth because you are still and Alwayz will be here with me in mind, emotion, and spirit. U have brighten my day and put a smile on my face many of days when I was going thru... Matter of fact I am smiling while I am writing and thinking of YOU! ;^}

Well D, so much has happened in this year I don't know where to begin, so Im not! I believe you have been right there with me, watching, laughing, crying, fussing, and hugging me everytime I needed it! So all I am going to say is THANK YOU for being there in the Best way you could over this last year!

As alwayz, I Miss You & I Love You! So, Until our Eyes Meet Again and Our Souls Collide... I'll be thinking of YOU! Love Your Pooma...

Hey Son,

We've entered into a New Year and it's a bitter-sweet feeling. Wishing you were here with us. Still, not a day goes by that I don't think of you and wish you were still here with us.

People say you are in a better place and no more pain or suffering, and I know this is true but it still don't make it any better. But I have come a long way. I still have my good and bad days, but that is to be expected. Because you never get over losing a child.

We talk about you and reflect back on the things you did as a child/adult that stuck in her hearts and made us laugh. We have so many memories to hold dear in our hearts and some not so great (smile) but we hold on to them anyway. Just know we were and are loved deeply.

D.J. and Daron are getting so big. Of course you know that they are as tall as me!! I talked to D.J. before Christmas and on his birthday. Daron was over Tyrell's Christmas day.

Well, son, until next time, I love you.

As with my last post, I know this is a day that you would have Never Let Pass, so neither would I. I know the boys are getting so big now and growing up to be great young men. I know you are looking down and smiling at everyone and wishing you could be here to give a helping hand when needed. But just knowing the type of man, friend, son, brother, and father that you are, You know everything & everyone is going to be ok and work out because of the Presence & Love You gave when you were here with us!
As always I Love You & Miss You, until next time, I will be thinking of you!!

Son,

"HAPPY BELATED THANKSGIVING"". Sadly, another major holiday/event without you here with us. And your absence was truly felt. It was a bitter-sweet day for me. I do give thanks for the many blessings that have been bestowed upon me and the family. And I thank God for every day that he allows me to open my eyes and be here for everyone. But, it was still a sad day for us, too. And yes, I know it will get easier with time.

I saw Daron on our birthday, we exchanged gifts. D.J called me and wished me a happy birthday. I plan on getting them before Christmas and do something with them. The older Daron gets the more he looks like you. He even have your demeanor when you were his age. Even the same texture of hair (smile).

It is so sweet how Lisa keeps in contact with you, and I would like to thank her for thinking about me and Daron. God bless her and her family. I know how much they meant to you.

I know you are smiling down on us, and that you do keep a watch over us. Until we meet again, love you.

Hey Darrell,
It has been a few weeks since I last checked in with you but you know you are always on my mind and I talk to you often. I know that Family was the most important thing to you in life so I had to take the time and wish two of the most important people in your life a Happy Birthday. Yes, I know I am early but I dont want the day to go by or miss the Birthday that they share.

So from Me and the Kids, I want to wish Momma Florell & Daron a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY (11/15) to you Both with MUCH LOVE and MANY MANY MANY MORE! Miss all You Guys!!!

Well D, I know U would NOT have missed that day so I didn't want to miss it either! Until next time My Luv, I'll be thinking of you.

1LUV, Lisa

p.s. The Redskins are Horrible so far this year!!! I know you are disappointed... Me too! LOL

Hey son,

Today is a dreary day, it's been raining all day.

As you know I have a birthday coming up in a few days. It makes me remember how you would call and start singing your song...."Hello, is it me you're looking for..... I'd try to stop you from singing and you would just continue!! After your song, you'd wish me a Happy Birthday. How I long to hear that voice now.

I took Daron and D.J. out a couple of Saturdays ago. This was our first time together since you passed. We do talk on the phone. We went out to dinner. I enjoyed watching and listening to them. I could also see how much they missed each other.

We talked about you and D.J. wants a picture of you in your football uniform. I told him I would have a copy for him and Daron the next time we get together.

I love and miss you so much.

Hey D,

If the boys don't pull it together soon the Redskins many not be winning to may more games. We will see as the season moves on! I'll be watching with cha'!!! Until next time...

1Luv, Lisa

Hey Darrell
I miss you like crazy.. Lastnite I was listening to this lady name Mrs. Maria preach and she was talking about how she don’t know where her son is but she’s walking wit the lord so she know one day she will see him again, and I mean its great to see her holding up strong but at the end you can see she’s hurting to. Darrell I cried its just still to me seems like a bad dream… today’s your birthday, happy birthday on my birthday I had to stop and come to realize I wasn’t going to get that birthday song you sing to me every year… knowing you can’t sing…lol… on graduation day which was suppose to be a happy day turned out to be a sad day.. Yeah I cried to once they sung “ never could’ve made it” I kept looking up in the stands because I know that day was the day you and I both couldn’t wait for. I know its been a long time since I wrote you but its just I would start then erase it because its emotional writing you. We got shirts made wit your picture on it. I rubbed your face down south and started to get teary because Darrell it’s still not fair to me. No won knows my pain personally no won knows what I go through its not just momma who hurt everyday its myself to. I wish if I knew that Sunday when they went down to the nursing home was your last time we would see you I would’ve dropped nico off and came to. I don’t even remember when the last time I saw you because you were in that nursing home for a minute. I wish I could just see you one last time give you a hug and tell you how much I really do appreciate everything you did for me. From the lies we told ma so I wouldn’t get in trouble, from you helping on me out wit my cell phone bill cause ma was mad so you gave up some money towards it, from you paying for me to have unlimited text in because you know I love to text and ma said she aint paying for it, and my new phone you bought me, remember once we got that phone we was text in like crazy and you was textn me all the things I can do wit that phone like the emotion faces that can go in the text. I swear I think you had more fun wit that phone then I did…lol.. Prom day I just knew you was going to ride around here in your Benz threaten nico about how he better treat me on prom night and act crazy like usual you probably would’ve said “aww shenapea pea” I hated that name… all I can really say is when you left Darrell it was unexpected once you left off this earth apart of me left to, sometimes I wish I could be wit you, everything I’m experiencing now you probably can relate to. I have nobody really but ma to talk to and sometimes I can’t tell ma. You were like my second father and I won’t ever forget the things you did for me. I just wish I can be strong enough to visit you at your grave cite but I don’t know Darrell I don’t think I’m ready I keep saying I’m a go but deep down I don’t know. I still don’t think I’m ready to go there and see that your deep down there in the ground, I’m just not ready… I’m a end this conversation wit I LOVE YOU!!!!, I MISS YOU…and now I know what people mean when they say My life will never be the same without you…. BYE DARRELL..ttys…(talk to you soon)….

August 30, 2009

Son,
Happy Birthday, today you would've celebrated your 34th birthday. It's so hard and my heart breaks because you are not here with us. They say time heals all wounds and hurts, but this will take a long time!! There's no greater hurt than this. You took a piece of my heart with you.

Shenese and Nesha wanted me to bake your brownies for your birthday because that is what you always requested. You never wanted a cake, just brownies. So yesteday, I baked them.

God gave you to me for 33 years. I just wish I could have had you longer. It just wasn't enough time.

Until we see each other again, I hold you strongly in my heart. I love you and I miss you so-so very much.

"Happy Birthday".

Hey Darrell,

Our 15yr class reunion was on this past Sat. 07/11/09. I went out to the meet and greet Friday night but did not go to the picnic on Saturday. The two people I want to see the most that helped make my year in 94. Were you and Atiya. Neither would appear. Maybe the next event I will do better to hang with everyone else, but after I didnt see the couple of faces that made me smile that year. I didnt really feel in place. It saddens me deeply that you are no longer here with us.. Until we meet again..

Mom

Hi Son,

I just wanted to wish you A "Happy Father's Day". You are and were a great father and have a lot to have been proud of. I know you made me proud to call you "My Son". I watched you with your sons and I know you loved them and they loved you. You did more and are still doing for them. I know you also loved your extended family. You made me proud.

I/we miss you so-so much and wish you were still here with us. I love you dearly. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and feel the dull ache in my heart. And wish upon wish that I could turn back the hands of time and have you here with me once more. I just can't accept it, but I know it's real.

Once again, my son, "Happy Father's Day".

Love,
Mom

Hey Mr. Sellers,
Just wanted to drop you a few lines to let you know that you are still on my Brain! I still catch myself driving drop 210 (Indian Head Hwy) on my way home thinking that I am going to pull up beside you at one of the lights. The last car I remember you talking about was a BMW so I look at all the BMW 745's and just look into the windows just checking. I know it sounds crazy but I do it! There are a lot of little things that I do because of thoughts of you or conversations that we have shared. I will never forget when you started calling me "Pooma". I thought it sounded stupid and I didn't like it but the more you would say it the more it stuck to my heart where it still remains along with YOU and all of the memories. Well Scooter, I just wanted to chit'chat with you and let you know that you are still being thought of (daily)... so until next time... Ta~Ta 4 Now.
1Luv, Lisa

It's about 20mins after 9 and im still at work. Things were just roamin through my mind and the thought of my cousin came across. I realized I havent wrote anything for him in awhile. It took me awhile to figure out what to say without crying because it still hurts. Like everyone I have my regrets, shoulda, coulda, wouldas'.

He had a smile that brighten any room a mile away. A heart of gold. A true angel in his own right. Yeah he had moments where he had fallen and lost who he truly was but what angel do you know who was ever perfect? (none). He carried a heavy heart, a heart filled with love and compassion for his family, friends and just anyone who came in contact with him. Smart, intelligent and hard working. A father, who loved his boys more than anything. Now that he is no longer here physically, he left a legacy....Daron and DJ. They will be a spilting image of a true man like their father.

Yes we will mourn his lost for a long time but we must understand that he was here to show us how to love, how to give and how to be humble. We meet people that are put in our lives for a reason, some are meant to stay for eternity, a season, maybe even a second but they are there to show you something. Whether you realize it at that moment or later on...you will know the difference. In his case he was the kind of guy everybody wanted to be friends with, so that alone tells you he was a special person, a unique individual that left a mark in everyone's hearts who knew him.

I will forever be greatful to have known my cousin for the time he was here and I know that I will see him again one day. Darrell, your spirit roams through your moms house heavy as if you never left. That lets me know that you are okay and at peace. I love you cuzzo and you are truly missed. Muah!!!

Hey Darrell,
I remember the phone calls I used to get, just to say hi,or if something was on your mind. I remember one day you driving down to see me as a surprise. I didn't know,but your mother knew.It was the best surprise I had in a long time. I have so much to say,but the words just won't come.Memories are all that I have now.There is not a day that I don't think of you and wish this would have never happen. I wish I could have just talk to you on that day God called you home. I love you darrell.

Grandma.

The weather is getting hot,with a sign that summer is very near. Families are planning summer trips and reunions.Thinking about us getting together leaves a emptiness in my stomach knowing your not going to be there. I really miss you,more than anyone will ever know.My heart aches with the thought of how your mom feels. I know whe are not supposed to ask why, and things happen for a reason,but it's really hard not to.

Hey Darrell,
I know it’s been a while since I wrote on here. Its like I am wanting to write an entry to you but I don't be knowing what to say or everybody be in and out of the living room and I got to be by myself. Well I know you been gone for about almost 4 months but I still can't believe it. Its like I try not to talk about it because just saying your gone doesn't sound nor feel rite its like a bad dream that we live everyday and got to continue living it because in reality its real but in our hearts its not. Its like I feel happy that I’m about to graduate from high school, but its like a empty feeling I get every time I think about graduation and to me its not going to feel rite because your not going to be there to share that happy moment wit me. I know your looking down on me proud that I’m growing into women, but you looking down on me and actually being here with me is different I try not to cry at all no more but I sometime feel myself tearing up but I’ll keep it in because no matter how much tears I shed its not going to bring you back and that’s the bad part about it. Its like I feel some what kind of lost it’s like who I’m a talk to when I’m going through something and I can’t tell ma or something? To me its not fair it’s not fair at all that you had to go. Its like its stressful and it hurts even worse when I see ma upset because its nothing I can do that’s a wound that I don’t think would ever heal. I
M sorry but I still can’t really believe it. Its like I’m still not ready to go to your grave because I’m just not. I miss you so much I wish this never had happened because its not fair you couldn’t even see me walk across the stage its like unfair Darrell its unfair. But I don’t blame you I mean I guess god was ready for you something that I wasn’t ready to happened nor prepared to happen loosing a family member is sad but loosing someone who was like a second father/ big brother I think is the hardest…I love you and always miss you. Forever you’ll be in my heart….

May 10, 2009

Darrell,

Today is "Mother's Day", and you are not here to share it with me. I remember how you would always call to wish me a "Happy Mother's Day", or come past and bring my gift. I can picture that big pretty smile on your face. This is the first one without you and there is a void in my heart. Saturday was a hard day because I kept thinking about you and what Sunday was going to be like without you.

I miss you so-so much, sometimes I still feel like it's just not real. But sadly I know that it is. I have a good day and then I have a few bad ones. I can now most of the time, speak you name without crying, and talk about you. But I still can't go to your grave without breaking down. I have progressed some. But I know you never get over losing a child, and I will never get over losing you. You were my son and my best friend.

I find myself thinking about Ray J's song alot, "If I Had One Wish.....

I love you.

Hey Darrell,
It has been about 35 days sent I last wrote to you. I continue to think of you & talk to you when I need an ear. I just wanted to drop you a few lines and remind you that I still think of you and will always treasure our times together and all of our conversations and the insight you have given to me over the years. This week has been a dreary week and it is suppose to rain up into the weekend. I remember these were the times when you didn't like to go out so we would just stay in and watch TV, order out or you would get the G. Forman out and cook a steak! hahaha... Thanx G.Foreman for that grill! Anyway this is a time for reflection on not just the fact you are no longer here but the Beauty you had when you were here and the Light you still give off when I think of you.
So as always, S1S2 ALWAYZ & 4EVER!
1LUV, Your Pooma ~ Lisa

Florell, I'm sorry that we went our separate ways after high school except for the few times we ran across each other. After that I remember the little bond we did have when we worked and rode the bus together so many years ago. I also regret not getting to know your family but I always knew you had a strong constitution and the love of Christ within you. For He will continue to see you through and always remember that you have a friend in Syracuse, NY who is praying for you. From what I'm reading from this guest book, Darrell was well loved and so were you. Keep the faith for the love of Jesus is always with you and His arms around you. Prayers are sent your way from Upstate New York.

A Friend.

April 5, 2009

Florell,
I am sorry for your loss. Take comfort in knowing that God don't make no mistakes. Darrell was a good person and you raised him well. He is in a better place and looking down on you with love.

A friend

April 4, 2009

Florell & Family,
First, let me say that I'm sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family.
Secondly, Florell, you were a good mother and father until God blessed you and sent Ennie into your life. The two of you raised a good son. And I know he loved you both. He always said that you were his best friend. Even when he strayed you two still stood by his side as a Mom & Dad with unconditional love.
When he finally grew up & promised you he'd never get into trouble again, he kept his promise. From that day on he became a man and an asset to society. He became the boy who grew into a man and someone you were very proud of.
He was a loving son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin, grandson and friend. And much much more.
Be proud of the way you raised him and the way he turned out. Hats off to you who did what she needed to do in the right way to raise her son.

Hey Sis,
I wanted to write something witty and profound but the words still escape me, even now. Darrell was such a young and promising life. I will miss my nephew. But
you know I'm here if you ever need me for anything.

April 2, 2009

Darrell everyone has a person that comes in their lives that leave a footprint in their heart that is you Darrell L. Sellers. I remember telling Darrell Mom (my Sister) when he was hospitalize after his accident. Some of his Co-Worker in the GI unit took up a collection for him because he had just gotten his house and they didn't want him to worry about anything so the collection was to pay his mortgage. people gave that never even met Darrell they said that just hearing us talk about him was enough . It made me feel good because I knew how special you were . Darrell we all have a lot that we wish we could have said but didn't get the chance . I could go on and on I just want you to know you were love more you will ever know.

MY Tribute to Darrell

How can this be, we are here without you,
You meant so much to me and so many people we were left feeling blue.
Words can’t really express the loss we feel,
Disbelief can’t even describe it, this is simply unreal.

You were more than my nephew man, you were my brother,
We always talked about music and Hip Hop with one another.
Who was the hottest in the game and who was lame,
Who was over rated and who deserved the fame.

You always cared about what was going on in our lives,
Family was what you were about, that you never tried to hide.
I’m a better person to have known you D,
One Love my brother from your Uncle Billy.

I never thought this would happen in a million years. I really miss you so much and its a shame that it takes something like this to make a person see. that life is not promised to no one. I will never forget the memories that I have when you use to come and spend the summers with us and you always wanted to go fishing. You didnt care where ma and dad took you as long as you could get your fishing rod in. I love you so much and it just doesnt seem real. To my sister, hold on, I cant say I know where your comming from or how you feel because people carry loss different. I love you dearly, more than you can imagine and I'll always be here. I didnt get a chance to say that to darrell I dont want to make the same mistake

Daron your son I will always love you Dad

DARRELL,
MY BROTHER, MY ONLY REAL BROTHER I LOVE YOU AND EACH DAY THAT GOES BY WITHOUT YOU CALLIN THE HOUSE TO TALK TO MA, OR TEXTN ME ABOUT MY BILL ASKN ME WHATS GOIN ON CUZ OF MY SIGNATURE. I'LL SAY NOTHING BUT YOU WAS ALREADY HIP TO THE WHOLE SITUATION THAT SOMETHING WAS BOTHERING ME. YOU WILL ALWAYS SAY" WHATEVER YOU NEED LIL SIS JUST LET ME KNOW. YOU KNOW IF I GOT IT I GOT YOU." YOU STARTED GOING BY D (DOUBLE X) I NEVER REALLY UNDERSTOOD WHY UNTIL MA TOLD ME AND I THOUGHT IT WAS UNIQUE. IT SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING YOU WOULD COME UP WITH DOULE X STOOD FOR DARRON AND DJ.KUTE. BUT I MEAN IT STILL DOESN’T SEEM REAL. IT SEEMS LIKE A BAD DREAM THAT WE ALL KEEP LIVING EVERYDAY, THAT WE TRY TO WAKE UP FROM BUT WE CAN'T. YOU USE TO ALWAYS TELL ME THE LITTLE STORY ABOUT ME THAT I NEVER COULD FORGET BECAUSE SOME POINT IN TIME YOU'LL SAY I REMEMBER WHEN YOU WAS A LITTLE GIRL. I USE TO FEEL EMBARRASSES BUT IT WAS TO FUNNY. LIKE THE STORY YOU USE TO TELL ME ABOUT I WAS YOURS. NESHA WAS ALREADY UP UNDER TYRELL AND SHE WAS A BRAT.lol. ALWAYS TEASED YOU AND MIKE AND PICKED WITH YALL. BUT YOU USE TO SAY WHEN I WAS IN MA STOMACHE I WAS YOURS. AND YOU TOOK ME IN YOUR ARMS AS I WAS YOUR. I WAS CLOSE UP UNDER YOU. DIDN'T LIKE HOW YOU WOULD KICK ME OUT WHEN YOUR GIRLFRIEND CAME OVER. WENT UPSTAIRS MAD AND MA WOULD CALL YOU AND TELL YOU THAT I WAS MAD, OR I WOULD SIT ON TOP OF THE STEP AND CALL DOWN THERE"DARRELL CAN I COME DOWN THERE NOW?" THOSE STORIES WAS THE STORIES YOU WOULD NEVER LET ME FORGET HOW I WAS TO DRESS IN MOMMY HIGH HEELS WHEN SHE CAME HOME FROM WORK.I WAS YOUR SHADOW ALWAYS FOLLOWED YOU.NOW I'M LEFT WITH NOTHING BUT MEMORIES TO HOLD ONTO. IF I KNEW SUNDAY WAS YOUR LAST DAY HERE ON EARTH I WOULD'VE FOUND NICO A BABYSITTER SO I JUST SEE YOU THAT LAST TIME.IT WAS UNEXPECTED AND IT’S GETTING HARDER EACH DAY INSTEAD OF EASIER. I KNOW HOW MUCH I MENT TO YOU JUST AS WELL AS YOU KNEW HOW MUCH YOU MENT TO ME.

BYE,
THE HARDEST THING TO DO IS SAYIN GOODBYE,
IT’S HARD TO HAVE TO REALIZE YOUR NOT HERE NOMORE,
FROM A BABY ON AND YOU COULDN'T EVEN SEE ME WALK ACROSS THE STAGE,
WHY YOU,
I STILL DON'T UNDERSTAND,
BUT I GUESS YOU HAPPY SMILING DOWN ON US,
NOMORE HOSPITAL STAYS,
NOMORE MISTREATED WAYS,
WE ALL NEVER REALLY KNEW WHAT YOU WAS GOING THROUGH,
GUESS WE SHOULD BE HAPPY FOR YOU,
WE KNOW OUR FAMILY WELCOMED YOU WITH OPEN ARMS,
AND OPEN DOORS,
AS GOD CLOSED YOUR EYES AND SAID "PAIN NOMORE"

LOVE YOU #1 BIG BRO DXX

Darrell,

I can't believe that you are gone. Daddy, Mommy, and me were just up to see you on Sunday, and Mommy makes the call to the hospital on Wednesday and she gets the worst news in the world that you were gone. And the following Friday we are burying you. This is the part where I want to wake up and discover that it was only a really bad-bad dream. But seeing you in the casket, I knew it was not and the hurt is unbearable. I wanted to break down and fall to my knees asking God, "WHY", "WHY"!! But you never asked why even when you were going through so much, and you never gave up. I had to be strong for Shenese and Tyrell, but mostly for Mommy.

It hurts when I think about you or who can I turn to now. I always came to you with my problems. We talked about everything. You protected us, was there for us when we needed that "brother" you were there. Losing you lost a part of myself because I don't have a brother to talk to or love me the was you do.

Out of all of us I was the last one to have a baby. You were so excited when I found out it was a girl. I remember seeing the look on your face when you said you would be home before I get out of the hospital. I will tell her what a good uncle you would have been and that you are her Angel. You are my #1 and only brother DXX, Big Bro. I love you, miss you and you are in my heart forever.
Your lil sister, Nesha

My cousin,

I am sorry, very-very sorry for your loss. There are no words I can say to ease the pain. Just want you to know me and my family have you and your family in prayer. You love your son but God loved him best. And on Wednesday, Jan 21st, he looked in his garden and saw that he needed a flower and he chose Darrell. And he made his garden complete.So don't worry he has Doris and Kim to watch over him.

If I never told you let me take the time now before it's too late. I love you very much and we are blessed because we are joined together by blood and Christ.

Darrell,

Your mannerism was perfect and you always had a glorious smile. It's hard to believe that I won't hear your mom say "Maxine, I'll drop by your house on my way to take Darrell some food". You're family to me and you will surely be missed REST IN PEACE.
P.S. Tell Dominic I love him.

To Florell,

I don't know where to begin all I know is that when you cried I cry I feel your pain. I will always be by your side you're my BEST FRIEND, my SISTER, my COUSIN. Oh my goodness, it breaks my heart to see your heart aching and the pain in your eyes. I know how you feel, but I have to be strong for you. You see I know how much you loved Darrell and I know how much Darrell loved you. Just know that Darrell is watching over you and he will always keep you safe.

Love you,
Maxine

Floreel,

To my friend. I know it has been many years but I carry you in my heart at this time knowing that you will get through this. You had always been a strong individual and I had always admired your strength when we were in high school and working at the Pentagon. Although it's been many many years and I have lost touch but across the miles I send you and your family my prayers. I know its hard and the words I may say can never ease your pain but I know day by day God will fix it for you. You playing his voice everynight is understandable. Please know you have a friend across the miles who is praying for you though it all. Your strength comes from the Lord. The love of your family and friends will continue to build you up. Continue to keep the faith my dear friend.

The time we spent was short but the memory are lasting ones thank you my wonderful nephew. Say hello to Grandmom,Doris,June,kim,&charles Love you all

February 18, 2009

My Son,

I know God don't make mistakes, but I miss you so-so very much. I know I had you for 33 years, I just wish it could have been much longer. Today marks 1 month that you've been gone.

When I'm going out, I find myself still going to the drawer to get your door keys then it hits me and the hurt floods in.

I know I have to be strong and accept this but right now it's just too hard, and in time I pray it will get easier. There's a constant ache in my heart.

I have the last message you left me on my answering machine. I play it every night before I go to bed just to hear your voice. Just so I can hear you say "Ma".

It's hard to accept that I will never see, talk, or feel your arms around my neck again. But I carry you in my heart and one day we will be together again. I love you my son.

Hey Darrell,

I bet U dont know what today is? Well I looked back and made a mini timeline of the passed few years and today is the day when me & Tyrell drove up to Silver Spring and picked up the "Green machine" the Taurus wagon (2/4/05). So Happy Four Years to the "Green Machine"... LOL

I also went back and found some good & not so good times in our past. Some of the dates I had to "guess-timate" due to situations. (U know what I mean) well here it goes...
Once in our 20's we last saw each other in late 1999 (I think) when I lived in Oxon Hill Village, you came to visit me with a cass on your leg. LOL you never told me what happened!!! We last spoke to each other or had any form of communication about 2001 when I lived in the same building as Snoop at Kennebec Mews. (I remember U left a note on my car but I never responded because I was w/ the kids dad (RIP Nacarto 7/17/07). But back to You. Sorry for not responding you know how it is... You did the same things to me years later when I tried to find You! LOL We talked about that too. But during the next few years we lost UNTIL 10/7/04! Thanks to my cousin Donna looking you up and finding you! Do you remember? Of course you do! I was so excited and wanted to see you but you were stand-offish. But I found out why later after talking more. Our first face to face after all those years was 10/13/04. I met you down at the Game Room w/ Donna... and that was the start of a new beginning. Just like the saying said "if you Love someone let them go and if they come back to you, It was mean to be" and thats what we were... Meant to Be!!! Nuff said on that!

I looked back and I didnt realized that Tink was only 2 yrs old . I remember you would go and pick the him up from headstart in 2005 and all the kids would want to go with you too, so you started picking all of them up from school. They clinged so close to you so fast. You are the first man they called "Dad"!!! and you were so Happy when they did. Your Rainbow Coalition"! I rememeber you would call me at work and say you took Tink to get a hair cut and I would get mad because I loved his long hair. I remember when we spoke in early 2008 and I told you I cut his hair and you said "GOOD"... hahaha For someone that use to have a bush and "gumby" hair cut w/Dye, wearing pock-a-dots in high school, you sure hated the boys not having fresh hair cuts! But enough of the back in the day for now. There are so many more things I want to say and ask you "do you rememeber" but I will take up all the space on your Guest Book!!! So until next time Scooter, I will be thinking of you!!!

Also to the friends and family of Darrell that may not have ever met me or my children I have attached some pictures of me and the kids to give you a better understanding of the family that filled part of Darrells heart.

Luv Always & 4Ever,
All5ofus!!!

Hi Darrell ,

It's me!!! I had a miserable weekend, as I am sure you saw. I couldnt eat, didnt sleep, continually cried and just thought about you! Don't get me wrong I had a few smiles and laughs when I reminised on the back in the days... I literally laid around from Friday 6p to Sunday 6p until I got a message/thought to go and read your Poems. I am sure people didnt know that about you, but Yes Darrell was a beautiful Poet. So I got up about 6p on Sunday and pulled out my "Seller 1 Sellers 2" Book of Poetry written by Darrell. When I went back to the first poem that actually was dated, it was written 11/04/95. During that time Darrell was up in the Mountain... I remember going to see Darrell up in the mountains with his father "Mr Sellers" and he took us to the movies and there was nothing playing way up there but "Fried Green Tomatoes"... hahahaha Til this day I have no idea what that movie was about! Anyway back to the poems, Darrell I just wanted to tell you that looking way...way...way back at how far we have come and had grown, I now know why we stayed as close as we did. Even though we lost touch for many years in our adulthood, we came back into each others lives like time had never passed us by. It was not until after I read through your poems that I realized and came to the conclusion that no matter whether we were together or apart, single or married, spoke or didnt speak, we were always and will always be connected with a Bond that can never be broken. Whether I was able to see your face and say Good-bye before you were laid to rest, I will never forget your face. Your handsome smooth brown skin, your big beautiful smile that would brighten any room and definetly the Dimple that melts hearts & souls at first glance!!! ~~hahahaha You like that one didn't you! ~~

You know that I will always question that fact that I missed your home going service and that will be probably my Greatest regret in my Life... But if I think about the Darrell Sellers Sr. that I remember not so long ago...you would never want me to come and see you when you were at the hospitals or other places that you were in when you were away from home. So I look at it as you would not have wanted me to see you like that, you only wanted me to see that Strong, but stubborn, Proud Man and provider that you are. So when I look back and picture You... that is what I rememeber and what I will always See!!!

To the Friends & Family of Darrell,
as I have stated Mr Sellers was a poet and I tried my hand a few time too. (but of course I was never as good as Darrell was ~~ or so he would say) But I want to share with you all one of the last poems I wrote for Darrell. I know they meant a lot to him so i dont think he would mind me sharing one with you all:

I WILL NEVER LEAVE!!

As I sit here patiently waiting, always thinking of you;
I can picture the waves of the ocean, touching a sky so blue!

Lying along the beach, sharing our inner-most souls!
Gazing into the sunset, while the sand melts between our toes;

This path that we are traveling on, who knows where it will lead;
But by your side I will proudly stand, because my Love is true indeed!

Hopefully we are on the same page now, ready to face the world together;
To show that us two have again become one, and that our Love will last forever!

So take my hand and lead the way, I will be sure to follow;
In my heart you will always remain, never feeling any sorrow!

I am ready for Love, and all that it will bring;
I love to feel the sunshine, but I can also stand the rain!

To will stand by my man, through all types of weather;
To have the thought of leaving you is something that I would never!

Never do to violate our commitment, or lose your trust in me;
You’re my 1 and only Unconditional love, and that you will always be!

Through the good times and the bad, I am here to fulfill your every desire;
Just thinking of your arms gently holding me starts an uncontrollable fire!

Fire that only you can manage to tame, because it was you from the start;
That set my soul a burning blaze that melted right into my heart!

So I’m laying my soul right on the line, and wearing my heart on my sleeve;
So promise you will be mines now and forever, because without you I can’t manage to breathe.

YOU ARE MY SOUL MATE & YOU I WILL NEVER LEAVE!!!

As you can see from the date, it was written almost 2 years ago! That is one of the things that He and I had in common (the Love for Poetry)... so in ending this memory of Darrell, I will end it with a lyric from Our Favorite song on Floetry CD that we listened to daily and fell asleep to:

"" IF I WERE A BIRD I'D FLY AWAY, SPREAD MY WINGS SO I'D ESCAPE, IF I WAS THE SKY I'D LET IT RAIN, TO WASH AWAY THE PAIN""...

I Love you Scooter...
from your POOMA 1LUV

And sorry for the mistake, you let me know yesterday when reading your poems, I actually have 4 Tat's of YOU!!! My 1st Love... is that better... LOL

Unconditionally & Eternally Yours Lisa

Always & 4Ever Me & You,
No Matter What, No Matter WHO!!!!

To Ms. Florell, Tyrell and Family,
my thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I haven't seen you in years but I do recall growing up on Lowell Street with Tyrell being my best friend and Lil' Darrell tagging along with us wherever we went..we had many fun sleepovers and we played Atari video games until we fell asleep. Lil' Darrell will be missed, may God continue to watchover and care for you all during this time.

DARRELL.... NOOOOOO... I just can't believe it!!! I just received the news of your home going service and I can NOT imagine not being there. I am soooo sorry that we havent talked in the last few months. I am really at a lost for words right now... When I got the call at 12:50p today I just had to look and see for myself and there was your "handsome" face (as you would say) smiling back at me. Dag Darrell, my "Lion King" my "Scooter Boo" my high school sweetie, my "D-Scoot", Seller 1... I am so sorry I was not there! We have been through SOOO much together since meeting in 1988... wow how time flys. I can't imagine you leaving this earth and me not being able to say Good-bye! I am so regretful for how the last few years have gone by with us. God only knows how I prayed things would get better and we would be like we would always say 20 years ago and even 3 years ago "Always & 4Ever". but God had other plans for both of us. I just give God all the Thanx and Praise for having you in my life as long as you have been. You have taught me so much in the years I have known you and I remember everything we have gone through Good & Bad and I will treasure All those memories because they were with you!!!
You know how we always did it, Love Always and 4Ever!!!

To Mom & Dad (Vollins),
I am so so so deeply sadened by this lost for you and the family. I miss you guys and I will always hold a special place in my heart for all of you. You know I will always have a Special place in my heart for your son as I know he held for me and took apart of me with him!

To the sisters & brothers,
I haven't talked to you guys in a long time. I will keep you guys in my thoughts and prayers along with your children (Darrell's nephews & neices).

To Daron & DJ,
Hi Guys!!! it's really been awhile since I saw you both. I know you are so big now. Your dad Loved you both soooo much. I know with Gods tender mercy & grace in time you will both grow up to be the type of Men that your dad wanted for you, to be a Great Man just like your Loving Father was. I will always remember you both as part of the "Rainbow Coalition" as your dad called all the kids when we (All 8 of us) would go out!!! I pray for nothing but success for you boys as you grow up. ~ Ms. Michelle (as you both called me)

To the Friends & Family of Darrell,
I am so sorry he had to go and I send everyone my deepest condolences. From me and my children (Jasmine, Ja'lah, Aniya, & Nacarto) we will miss you Darrell and our Love is Unconditional & Eternal...
