Hi Leah,
Just wanted to stop by and say hi and let you know I miss you. I wish you could see how everyone is growing up and how things have changed since you left. I will continue to keep the promise I made to you regarding Adaizala. She is becoming a stronger and wiser person each year. It has been hard not having you around, but I know you are watching over us daily. Say hi to my mom for me. I miss her too!!

Ten years still hurts like yesterday. Everyday something reminds me of you. I STILL can´t eat spaghetti without thinking of you. I still remember your last visit I tried my best to get you to stay. I will always hear your voice and remember your laugh. You were an AMAZING gift to this world and are forever in my heart. Love u Sis.

It's been ten years but not a day goes by that I don't think of you Leah. You are certainly missed by many and you would be so proud of your grandchildren. I love you always.

Hey ma, just stopping thru to let u know I've been missing u like crazy, over time I am processing the fact u r gone with the Lord and I understand that never to question him so I know he will continue to bless you and family and close friends and David is terribly missing you and I just hope that he can take the time to process of you being gone and to know it takes time to heal from it and I'm really trying mommy, I just wish I could here and see u once more just to know it happened, o mommy I love u so much (crying) I have to go , love u ma

Hi Ma,
I miss u so much and if you get a chance could you say hi to my mom too. Even though I only knew for 5 years I feel like you were a blessing and I am sad you are gone but glad you are in peace with the LORD. Your daughter Daya is missing you alot and we have nights where she just needs to talk and I am there to help her thru. Keep your arms wrap around her. It's hard to lose someone you love so much, but we all have to go. David truely misses you and I am sure you miss him as well. I can still hear your voice saying my name incorrectly Tw-ana..lol you always made me laugh and put a smile on my face and I really miss you. I am going to let you go because as I am typing this I am getting choked up thinking of our last trip with you to PA and to NYC. Love you Ma and may you rest in peace.
Love always Datwana Burke AKA Twana

Hi Leah,
You would have been real proud today. Your daughter graduated from college - can you believe it? She did it! I am so proud and I know that you are looking down on us on this special day. We miss you and love you so much baby. Don't worry Leah - I will get it together.
Your husband, David

Hi Baby, Happy Valentine's Day. I love you so much and it hurts so much whenever I think about you- which is all the time. I know your spirit is with me, but I still just cannot accept that you are gone physically. I was going to try to visit your grave today, as painful as it is to do. But, I am still waiting on Adaizala and the car, so my visit may have to wait until another day. I do want you to know that you are always with me and I miss and love you more than words can tell. Again, Happy Valentine's Day Porkchop. There is no one to replace you and there never will be. Love, Your Hugga Buggs

Hi Leah, Well I went to Leslie and Brian's 20th Anniversary Renewal of Vows Ceremony with Adaizala and the kids. We had a great time. I know you and your mother were looking down on us when we saw that rainbow appear for a brief moment. That was beautiful. I miss you so much baby and it's only been six months and there are days I don't know what to do without you. I'm trying to just push ahead and make the most of each day, but it's not easy. Rest In Peace Leah and know that you are loved and never forgotten.

Four months have gone by since you left me Leah. Today would have been our 15th wedding anniversary. You are always on my mind and in my heart no matter what I do. You are always loved and never forgotten. Our grandson is getting so big and talking more, but I know you are watching him grow too. I miss you Porkchop.

Leah, It has been one month since you left me and it hurts like it was just today. We never had the opportunity to do so many things together that I wanted to do because you left this world much too soon. I do have some beautiful memories and they will be with me always. I will do my best to hold things together and be there for the kids and grandkids, but it won't be easy Leah. I cannot fill your shoes. It just hurts so much and I hope you know how much I loved you and how much you will be missed by so many people. Love always, Your Husband

It still hurts to know that you are gone. it's sad to know how many times i've only seen you.i will forever miss you. i some times feel like someone touches me at night, but cant figure out if it's you or Grandma Jean.But i also think to myself that it must be you, in the room with me at times,but just the most randomest times....i i will always know you will be with me. if i can or cant tell you are there

I always told you that I didn't know what I would do if you left us. Though we had our rough times, we had many great times and many special moments during the past sixteen years. You mean everything to me and I don't know how I'm going to deal with these years ahead of me without you. You were a very special person with an incredible personality and you made everyone laugh and feel good. You never felt above anyone and you were there for everyone. I hope to be reunited with you someday and I will be buried right next to you at Evergreen- I bought the plot next to you. I'm happy that you're at peace now and don't have to deal with the sufferings going on in this world. You are in my heart always. Love you Porkchop. Your Hugga Buggs.

Leah,(OMG)....That's all I can say, (tear)..You were always on my mind!!! I am so sadden to have heard of your passing. I got to reminiscing about day 1 when we met April 4, 1997 (LOL) I was soo broke down n you were one of the first persons that I shared my life with!!! I remember all the good times we shared with our children and your parents in Albany..I am sorry I wasnt there for you! I moved to Kentucky and lose contact with not only you, but many of others...we are family, and my heart is so broken right now!!!! But you no what they say..God only takes the best..Yet another ANGEL has been taken..Keep those Pearlie Gates open for me when we meet again!!!!!! Good people are always hard to let go..I can say you were definitely a person, always SMILING, always laughing..when u were around, you always brightened up a room..My friend, I am truly gonna miss you, but my memories will never by lost!!!!

I wish you would have told me the last time you were here that you were leaving me forever because you know I never would have let you go! Even though I tried my best to get you stay, I knew God had a greater plan. I know I was the oldest but you always tried to be my momma! That was that jean terry side of you that I loved so much. I'm gonna miss you Sis. Hold a seat for me at the Masters table so we can eat some spagetti and hash browns together.*wink* I love you and will miss you terribly. You're Forever with Me. Malik sent you a hug.
