Well my son days are now turning into weeks, yesterday made one month since we laid you to rest and you know me I'm back at work and still crying and talking to your picture and as much as I try to make sense of this I can't.
The thing that is bringing me a little comfort is when I was making plans to lay you to rest God was actually revealing to me certain things to let me know that you were in his care ,like Aaron's mom (Melenie) picture popped up in my FB news feed from 6 yrs ago where I wrote "don't worry about your son I got him". Then when I was wondering what to dress you in God reminded me that you had already been fitted for your suit for Jay"s wedding ( a perfect fit) and the song by Beyonce "I WAS HERE" that was the song I've always said I wanted played at my funeral but after hearing it again I realized it was speaking your life.
I'm not going to say I'll be alright because I'll never be the same again ,you was my world,my love and everyone knows there was nothing I wouldn't give or do for you but what I will and have always said is God has a plan and purpose for all of our lives and from all the wonderful things that you brought to so many people lives it seems that your purpose for living was fulfilled.
May you rest in peace and I'll be looking for you when my time comes.
love eternally
MOM

Very hard to have to say goodbye to my childhood friend/former classmate. The memories of Cedric/Scoot will be with me forever. Walking with me to school after his mom would drop him off close by, working together at Winn-Dixie (our first job), all the fun times at school and after school, playing sports. I will never forget. I still tell some of his crazy jokes now. When my godmother passed earlier this year, he checked on me. We’ve always kept in touch and encouraged each other. I was so happy to see him going to Celebration Church and I would tell him that. God Bless The Simmons Family and everyone who loved Scoot.

Well my childhood friend, neighbor, and church member you have made it to the end of this earthly road before me. I am truly sadden by your departure but I will hold fast to our days in the hood playing until dark.
Many times you were the one who would get my Mom to let us come outside, you were the one who we would use to get her to fry us some chicken and make spaghetti
I am truly going to miss you my friend but you are in a more loving and joyous place, we will meet again someday. Much love, Kim Baptiste
