To the Howard family, our prayers go out to your family. May GOD comfort you thru these trying times.
I have never met Adonis but my son Trey knew him and expresses his sympathy.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Matthew 5:4

Pastor Timothy Deas

September 7, 2008

It is with sincerest prayer and sympathy that I write this note to the family. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Edonis when I taught at Rutland Middle School, now two years ago. I was, at the time, teaching his older brother Deion and met Edonis through him. Edonis struck me as a very high spirited child who loved to have fun and loved to bring laughter. I was deeply moved and saddened to hear of his passing. Please know that your entire family is in my thoughts and prayers and also know that even in this, God will take care of you. Keep looking unto the hills from whence cometh your help. May God bless you.

Dear Edonis,

Its hard to believe that you're gone and you will no longer be with us. I really do miss you, words can't express how much I miss you. I pray that you're in a better place now.My prayers go out to the Howard family. May God bless and keep you.
My deepest sympathy,

My deepest sympathy goes out to the family of Edonis. I fist met Edonis when I moved behind his family on Dewey Street. Ednois and all his brothers were like my own kids. Ednois were always a good person. Words can't express the pain I feel for hs family. Keep your heads up to the GOD and he will see you through.

Felicia Guyton Newbill

September 6, 2008

To the Howard family, I am deeply sorry for this very sad occassion and I pray that you and your family heal from this trial through the Lord Jesus, I have never met Adonis but my daughter Qydasia knew him very well and expresses her sympathy.
To the family I want to say that God is the only one who searches the heart and has the power to heal the heart, every one who is born must die and man can assume the birthdate but can't determine the actual death date only God has the power to determine the date but please remember man understandings are not God understanding and his decision is far more better than ours. May you all keep the faith in Jesus Christ.

To Edonis's Family
Life is a series of challenges and tests. It comes fully equipped with pleasure and pain, sunshine and rain. It is a potpourri of every feeling imaginable. I have been in the storm and I have stood by the ones I love in the storm, and I must tell you that the storm does pass after a while. The thunder quits clapping, the rain stops, the clouds clear, and the day breaks. What a blessing it is when the night has been to long, to know that at last- it is morning.

You all are in my prayers thoughtout this storm. I meet Edonis thought my kids ( Yandchia and Keyon) and he was a pleasant and respectful young man that will be missed by a lot of peoples but will be welcome in god's home and heart.

Regards,
Kim

Dear Edonis family, I only knew Edonis for the time he was at Miller to the time of his death. I know this seems like a short time to know a person, but he just clicked and fell into my heart. I will never forget him and for all the things he did. His locker is right beside mine and it's just so hard to go to it now. He brightened my day when I needed uplifting. He was there for all his friends. I pray to GOD that he is in a better place. Edonis I love you and I just thank you for being my friend!
