Happy Birthday Darren. Please continue to watch over your family and friends. I MISS YOU SO MUCH.

Bro, it's so much going on and so many things to talk about with you. I just wish your presence was with us. You are truly missed. I love you!

I love and miss you bro!

Merry Christmas Bro! I love you.
Missing you and Tony so much. See you two on Sunday as usual :)

Hey Hey Homeboy !!!! I must say feelings are the same but the cookout was finally a HAPPY PLACE for me, and I miss you alot and to see the generations smiling, reproducing and HAPPY was wonderful. "Thanks Monique," for your continued strength & gatherings for us to embrace the LOVE and CARING that we all have deep down for one and another. Once again!!! I Miss & Love you Bru and Love you 1 and all........

My Bro,

It's so much going on these days and I try to be strong. I'm hurt & scared at the same time. I can only pray that everything work out. I really wish you were here to have my back bcz sometimes it feel like I can't take it all in. I do know, it's not my battle and God will not put more on me than I can bare. I know he got me and things will get better. Life isn't a smooth sailing and we will have our ups, downs & challenges. I miss you so much.

Love your Lil Sis

I love and miss you so much!

Your Lil Sis,

My Bro, My bro, My bro,

Today mark 5 years since you been gone and it seem just like it was yesterday. I miss you so much words can not explain. Still trying to get back on track with things but since you departed things haven't been at it's best. I will continue to smile through it all and continue to be that back bone you once told me because I know that is what you would want. I love you. You and Tony continue to look down on us as our Father God will continue to cover us in his blood.

Your Lil Sis,

Happy Thanksgiving Bro! I wish that you two were here. I noticed Lil Darren packed his plate just like you use to. Now Amani Omg, I can only imagine what you would say or if you would even allow it lol. I love & miss you bro.

Happy Birthday Bro! I love & miss you so much.....

Hey Bro,

Another not so good day but I'm getting through it. One of those days I don't feel like being bothered with nothing or no one. Just want that me time. It's too much stuff going on and I know you would be the one to straighten it all out. I'm so lost right now all I can do is put all of this is God's hands. It's just a lil too much to bare and it weakens me. I know you always said I was the back bone of the family but you were always there to have my back. You were always there when I needed that someone to talk to. You were always there when I needed that father figure in my son's life. Where are you? (tears). This pain, this pain, this pain. By the Grace of God, I manage to get through it on a daily basis. Some people would not even realize what another person is going through. My body feel so numbed. I know if anything, you and Tony would tell me to stay strong and with that, I am trying so hard. I know in life nothing is a smooth sailing but goodness. Just that moment you need that someone, they are not there.

I love and miss you all so much.
Just pls continue to watch over us.


My Angels, My Protectors for life.

Bro,

This life has been a challenge but each day I continue to stay strong. It's been so many days that you are needed and it hurts that you are not here. I love and miss you so much.

Love your Lil Sis

Bro,

Another successful cookout. I miss you two so much. A lot going on but most of all, I know you will be so proud that Lil Darren walked across that stage.

As life goes on, it amazes me how strong one can be when losing a loved one and I know my bros will want just that.
The last couple of days, something has been very troubling and heavy on my heart but I will let go and let God.

Hey Bro,

I got so caught up with wishing you happy bday on fb and didn't post it on here. Boy do I feel bad. But I love you and miss you soooo much. As your bday has passed and the holidays are approaching, its going to be another challenge getting through it. I do trust God to give us the strength, so with that alone, I know we will get through it.
Love you always.
My Angel, My protector for life.

There's so many obstacles in life that we have to go through. I really miss that I can't talk to you about somethings. Well, you have another Angel to join you all. Just make sure you con't to watch over us and protect us.

Love you all.
My protectors, My Angels for life.
Your Lil Sis,

Hey Bro,

Hey Bro,

Thinking about you all heavily. Well, I have joined this crazy world of facebook but won't be on there telling my life. It is good to get in touch with folks I haven't seen in years. I miss you so much.

Hey Bro,

Love your Lil Sis,

Hey Bro,

Just dropping in as usual. Well you know I had to cookout and every thing went well and everyone really enjoyed themselves. PeeWee broke down a tab bit in memory of you all but it still went smoothly. I miss you both so dearly.

Well you know whats going on. So I tend to hope God have something in stored for me cause whats going on is unbelievable and unacceptable. Therefore, I'll wait patiently. I miss the heck out of both of you and it bothers me so much that I can't stop pass your house or pick up the phone to vent.

Man just con't to watch over us cause I know I have my Angels and my Protectors always watching over me.

Love your Lil Sis 4life

Hey Darren,

I was just sitting here asking myself, where do I get the strength to get through these days. I miss you both so much.

Love your Lil Sis,

Hey Bro,

Ma bday went well. She really enjoyed herself. I only wished that you and Tony was there. I do know that you all were there in spirit though. Man I miss you so much. I'm still trying to stay in my denial stage to get through these days and ignore the fact.
But at the end of the day, I know I have my angels watching over me.

Love you Bro.
Your Lil Sis

Hey Bro,

Missing you a lot. I try to keep my mind clear to get through these days but sometimes are harder than others.

Love you Always,

Your Lil Sis

Hey Bro,

What a day. Justice was served and I am satisfied. Only wish that you were here. I miss you so much. I hope now you can rest in peace and con't to watch over us. I know we still have a long road a head of us but I'm sure by the Grace of God we will get better with time.

Love you Bro

Hey Bro,

Just letting you know the vigil went well. It was cold as heck but we got through it. I know you were watching over us and we felt your presence there. It hurt so much that I can't hear your voice and get a sis/bro hug from you, let alone see and talk to you about the important things in life.
Well I do talk to you in a sense. I'm trying to get out this denial stage and accept the fact that you are gone and gone to a better place.

You no longer have to deal the stress in the world. When I went to counseling a couple of weeks ago, it was one thing that really stood out. We all came to an agreement that losing someone is like losing a limb.
You are pretty much never the same anymore and that's the way I feel. Life is not the same without you here.

I love you bro.
Con't to watch over us as I con't to pray for strength and healing.
My protector, My angel for life.

Love your Lil Sis

Hey Bro,

Well it's 2years now since you've been gone and we still have our ups and down days. I can't help but to think about you every day. I'm so hurt about my bros leaving me. You all were always my protectors and now my angels watching over me.
The vigil is tonight, so hope all goes well like last year.

As we stand in you remembrance, con't to watch over us cause I know you are there in spirit.

Love you and Tony both.
Your lil sis

Happy New Years!!!!
We all miss you both. Wish you were here. It's a new year now and we have to con't on getting through this new chapter in life with out you all.

Love you both.
Your Lil Sis

Merry Christmas!!!
Life still not the same with out you and Tony. We all are still trying to adjust to this new chapter in life.

Con't to watch over us as I con't to pray for peace and strength.
Love you both.

Your Lil Sis,

Hey Bro,

Hopefully now you can rest peacefully.

Love you

Happy Birthday Bro! I miss you so much.

Love your Lil Sis

Happy b day Darren love you and miss you!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Hey Bro,

"Sigh" Well these last couple of days has been rough. My strength is starting to weaken again. I pray that I gain strength to get through the upcoming weeks. We all miss you a lot and the next couple of weeks we all will be reliving this whole things all over again and its gonna take a toll.

I ask that you, Tony and our heavenly father con't to look over us and guide us in the right direction. Give us healing and strength to carry on.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" Philippians 4:13


Love you Bro.

Your Lil Sis

Hey Youngin, we got them cowgirls last night I know you were having a ball. We look ok as a team, but have alot of areas of improvement. Miss you yelling at the TV and our rivals, remember as long as we beat the cowgirls its like the superbowl.
Love ya Homie,
Fish...

Hey Bro,

Everything is just going. Trying to prepare myself for next month cause I know that's going to be a struggle. The kids are doing ok but at this point we can only con't to take things a day at a time. I didn't have such a wonderful day today cause I was thinking about you and Tony. Now it's just me and Eric trying to keep mom strong. We all try to paint this picture like everything is ok and we are healing but truth be told, it hurts like hell inside.

Ma, man she trys to be so strong but I know she is under a lot of stress and hurting badly inside to the point it scares me. I know you and Tony are watching over us and I ask that you all along with Father God watch over Sonny as his surgery is being performed.

I will con't to pray for strength because we need it.
Love you.
Your lil sis

Hey Bro,

I am missing you too much. You are really needed right now. I have so much going on in my life and don't know where to start. I just con't to ask God for the strength to get through it all. Everyone is still holding up and doing the best that we can.
I know in a couple months we will be re-living this whole thing again and it will take a toll. Please con't to watch over us as I will con't to ask for strength and healing.

Love you always.
Your Lil Sis.

Hey Couzo:

I haven't sent you a meesgae in a while but your always in my heart... I miss you so much. And the year has gone by so fast. My little boy is almost a year old. He amaze me every day! The other I thought about you when I put on A'Dairion's Redskin outfit on he looked so cute. Of course my mother was hating becasue that Cowboy fan, lol! But you know it was all in good fun... Anyway, I just wanted you to knwo I was thinking about, continue to watch over us, love you much!

Muffie

Hey Bro,

Well it's still so much going on here. Other than that we are maintaining. Of course, you are missed dearly. For me, its a lot going on as you can see. But I'll get it together. Wish you were here so I can talk to you though.

As always, I will con't to pray for us to have healing and strength. You and Tony con't to protect and watchover us.

Love you,
Your lil Sis

Hey Bro,

Wishing you and Tony a Happy Father's Day. I miss you both a whole lot.

Love your Lil Sis

Hey Bro,

Thinking about you and Tony as always. When I came to visit you all, I went to the office to put in a service request for Tony's memorial and I was telling the counselor there how much I miss you two and you all were my protectors, I"m sure you still are.
Although, it's still a lot going on and still trying to accept all of this, I just hate when my mind just wonders away from the good times.
I miss that I can't call you to tell you things, I hate that I can't call you to say Rookie smelling himself, I just hate that I can't call you to tell you to come see the things I have done to the house.
I just miss everything. I wish that I can call you up just to say something.

All I ask now is for you and Tony con't to watch over us.

I love you both.
Your Lil Sis,

Hey Bro,

Man this world is going crazy. I don't know what to get out of all of this. I miss you so much. I still feel myself crying in my sleep. I just want to get better.
I still try to be in this denial stage to get me through these days but I know in reality that you are gone away.

I miss you sooooo much and we really need you. Pls con't to watch over us and I will con't to pray for strength.

My Angels, My Protectors.
Love your Lil Sis

Hey Youngin, its your Dogg checking on you letting you know you been on my mind. I still have my times when I look at my phone & go through my contacts and see your number waiting for my phone to ring. I miss our off season football Redskins/Cowboys talk & Madden games. Doggy (MD)

Hey Darren,

When I heard the news of the Redskins getting Donovan McNabb all I could do was think about how happy you would be especially because of the season we had last year.

Continue to watch over us all and I'll continue to pray for your family.

Donnita

Hey Couzo:

As you know today is your mom's birthday! We surprised her with lunch. That was the happiest I've seen her in a long time... She deserve it! I know she wish you were here... I know I miss you so much... You are truely a great Man....

Muffie

Hey Bro,

Wishing you all a Happy Easter. Wishing you were here.

Love you
Your Lil Sis

Hey Bro,

Just sitting here thinking about you and Tony. I miss all so much. Still trying to get better though and still a lot going on.

Well you con't to watch over us.

Love you Man.
Your Lil Sis

Hey Couzo:

Your little couzo,
Muffie

Hey,

Ant had is baby. He had a boy 8lbs 7oz yesterday. I can't believe he is a dad. Unbelievable. I guess we all had to learn how to be a parent. I sure wish you and Tony were here to see this one. I know you see it, but you know what I mean.
He is a cutie. I'm sure he will do well being a dad. You and Tony was the best influence on him, so he knows what a father is suppose to do.

So that mean, Tony is a granddad and you are a great uncle and granddad. So make sure you all con't to watch over us because we now have another addition to the family.

Love you Bro.
Your Lil Sis

Hey Bro,

Boy do I miss you. I am such a changed person now and I'm not sure if its a good thing. I just have so much anger built in me since you have been gone.

I know God has a plan for everything. I just con't to pray that he give all of us the strength to get through this and have some type of healing.

Someone told me, some may say its been over year, but that was your brother not theirs, so they will never know the grief and pain that we are going through. It made a lot of sense to me. I am thankful for some that are still sticking around and giving words of encouragement and just showing compassion.

One thing I have noticed, as others say, grief is not just the first couple of weeks of the occurence but maybe a life time. So those who are there now, the most important time is forever. But I can't fault people because I know they have to go on with their lives. And at the end of the day, it will show who lives you have really touched.

As I said, I will con't to ask God for strength as you all con't to watch over us.

I Love you.
Your Lil Sis

Hey Bro,

Happy Valentine's Day to you and Tony.

Love you both.

Your Lil Sis.

Hey Couzo:

Time has gone by so fast. And I still look for you on family events... I know I miss you so much. And I know you would have had a ball with little AD... I miss you and love you some much!!!

Muffie

BIG YOUNGIN,

I miss you and love you Bro I can't type that much, but keep your wings over us all and fly high.

Love Ya,

BIG YOUNGIN',

whats the deal hot dog? where u want me to start..... well the begining is always a good place ... man what can i say say but things are still the same so to speak.... winter layoffs work gettin slow economy jacked up , but u know it aint no way we let stuff like that stop us ..... i mmean dont get me wrong i m still gettin it everybody is eatin and doin well . but these boyz up here get it twisted from time to time and funny thing about it i believe u got a front row seat and was watchin it all go down with a smile on your face cuz u know lil scott aint havin it, but they dont or should i say they do now ha ha ha !

on another note this was one hell of a football season. the play offs was somethin else..... Dallas went and as usual tony bozo i mean romo and the play calling was horrible.. but they still my team.

Brett farve let me down..... Nwew orleans made him pay like he weigh last night.....

but i aint slow, u probably had some thing to do with that. y'all saints stick together huh... lol so as u know its the saints and the colts yeah and i m goin with colts.....yeah yeah i know but manning is due and has a legacy to fulfill ... it wont be long before he decide to walk away.

Speaking of legacies, you will be happy to know that your legacy is still alive, well and being fulfilled , not only in thought and memories but in action. man listen we talkin vigils , get togethers and reserved seats, and all that is touching to know that u had an unbelieveable impact on the lives that u touched and paths that u have crossed with others.... and that s what makes the transition so difficult for me and many others .

with that beieng said ,i dont have any doubut in my mind that u and tony are on full time watch detail for your family friends and love ones well being ....

man i am just sayin its thoghts like that lets me knmow that not only are u ok , but everything and every one else that had the priceless chance to know u are going to be all right too....

PEACE BIG YOUNGIN

Hey Bro,

Well it's been over a year and I am missing you like crazy. This is still unbelievable to me. The vigil went very well. I was really pleased with it. Even with 7D, they did a wonderful job, very pleased.
Well today was not the best. I went pass Ma house and your pic is right by the entry door. I always seem to try and avoid it, but today I looked at it as I was leaving and my heart crushed.

Ma said she will move it, but I told her not to. I need to get through this. Maybe seeing your pics often will help.
There's a song that comes on called "Angels", it always take me to you and Tony because you both are my Angels watching over me.

I do wish that you were here with us because we need you badly. Oh yeah, its a difference with out you being here.

Oh, man back to the vigil, it was hilarious. Gwen said you gave her a piece of Ma's cake and she said it was delicious. She asked you what Ma put in the cake and you supposely told her apple sauce. Lol. Man I looked up at Ma with a look on my face like "huh". You know Ma don't put no dag on apple sauce in her cake. Najah sent me a text and said, you should have seen your face and lashes when Gwen said about the apple sauce "priceless".
Funny!!!!

The kids are really going through something now. Really missing you for real. I hope you are watching over them some way some how because they really need you. You know man, you was a true DAD. I mean, we all have our ups and downs but there were no downs with you being a Dad to them kids.
I'm sure with time we will get through this. As with the 1st year, its the first of everything and you not being with us (1st Bday, Thanksgiving, Xmas and New years, the kids bday and the snow (Mani)).
I just con't to pray for us to have strength and as always you and Tony con't to watch over us.

LOVE U BOTH, ALWAYS and 4EVER.
My Angels, My Protectors.

Your Lil Sis

Happy New Year Darren and Tony!!!!

I hope this year God will give us strength and healing....

It's still early, so I can't tell you right now how new years went for us..lol But if any drama, although you all will know, I will be sure to tell you. Wish you all were here with us.
Love your Lil Sis.

Hey Bro,

Merry Xmas! Well truth be told, it was a rough day. Ma really didn't do to well today, neither did the kids. I didn't know for sure if I was going to go over Aunt Lisa's house because I didn't go last year and you was there. I have never missed a Xmas going over her house but I was tired and had to work. If I had known that it was going to be the last holiday I would have spent with you, God knows I would have been there. You spent New Years with your buddies. All and all, it started out fine until Ronald acted a fool. Maybe I should have stayed home. But at the end of the day, we all are family and we need family.

I remember while you all was over there, I was talking to you on the phone and we were joking about my father, Ma and Cherry being there. It was funny. And when I told you my father had a new car, you were so excited. You went out there and said "damn Joe you sitting on 20's". lol. My father said you were the only one that introduced him as your father. He took it hard too when you left us.

I also remember a Xmas when you brought me a gift and I was so excited because I thought it was something big. When I opened it, it was a damn coffee mug that said happy holidays with balloons. Boy was that excitement gone. Now today I can laugh to keep from crying.

Me and Eric had a talk. By the way, he is staying with ma and doing much better. I am so glad. He is trying to open up. You know he keeps stuff inside. He came out and expressed how he feels. I was touched. One thing that really touched me was when he said "man, I have no brothers". BOOM! that hit hard because I never really thought about that. Especially, when I start thinking about the way you all use to stick together when you all had the neighborhood fights and when you all use to fight each other but I know it was out of love.

Boy, we miss you and Tony so much. I hope you all are watching over us because we really need it. I always say, my brothers are my protectors.
I love you all and wish you were here.

Con't to watch over us as I will con't to pray for strength.

Love your Lil Sis.

Hey,

Just want to let you know Thanksgiving went well. We know you and Tony presence was there. I still had your jersey and cap in the chair. Ma did not want to move it at all, although we had so many people over and not enough chairs. She actually sat between that chair and the picture of you and Tony. We did get through it though. I must say, I am glad its over with because I didn't know how that day would have went.

Oh, yeah. PeeWee was actually there. Haven't seen him in a couple of years now. We all are still holding up ok though. We just have to be extra strong through the holidays. Well you con't to watch over us and I will con't to pray for us to have strength.
Love ya.

Love your Lil Sis
My Angel and My Protector for ever.

Hey Bro,

Since we don't have a guestbook for Tony, I'm using yours to wish him a Happy Birthday!!!! I hope you all have a blast. I'll see you all a little later. Love you both and you all con't to watch over us.

Love your Lil Sis

Hey, Couzo,
I miss you so much... I wish you could meet A'Dairion A for Anthony aka Turtle and Dairion for you Darren... He is so handsome.. But I know your watching over us... Sometime I feel that when he looks up and smile he is smiling at you and Tony and Mama and Jimmy, Uncale Cat and Aunt Marie and all the family and the rest of the family... I miss you here at Thanksgiving... Love you much and your forever in our hearts.... Muffie

Hey,

You know I'm sitting here at work with a terrible headache. All of this is so hard for me to grasp. I keep trying to figure all of this out. Its still hard for me to accept all of this. I miss you so much and its still unbelievable that this has happened.

I just wish all of this was just a bad dream but its all real. It hurts so much. I keep praying for strength but the hurt is at a stand still. When will I ever accept this. I have 2 of my protectors gone now. Never thought it will be this way. I just wish one day all of this will pass and we begin to feel better. Someone told me, just be quiet and still and listen to God.

I just don't understand. Maybe its not meant for me to understand. All I know is I miss you a lot and don't know when I will get out of this denial stage. I just don't know what to do. My days are just going. And I still don't know for sure if I'm coming or going. Can't do things the same as I normally do. I guess all of this is apart of grieving. I know I may not get all the answers but hopefully one day I will at least get some understanding.

I love you. Love your Lil Sis.

What's up Bro, HAPPY B-DAY Youngin sorry i'm just saying it but we was real busy this week. we just chill in Sam parking lot on your day as if you were still here. LUV U BRO,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DARREN!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
