Most people say, " you´ll be okay" or " it´ll get better" & to be honest, I just don´t want to be believe that this is my reality. It seems like everyday it only gets harder. It hurts that you´re not physically here and that I can´t just come get a much needed hug but, one day I will be.
I will always love you & I miss you so much.

It is almost six years since you were taken from me so violently. You and your brother are together now smiling down at me. I know that both of you loved me. I miss both of you. My heart is broken because I miss both of you so much. I pray each day for strength, peace and joy again but I know that will never happen. As I look at your pictures and memories that is all I have. I love you always

Forty years ago, God blessed me blessed me with a handsome boy with a heart of Gold. He would give you his last and go without. He would always advised me the right way. He was a child with years of wisdom. My last time with him was beautiful and I will always remember that goodbye. In all of his years on earth, this moment was the sweetest. He would always make me laugh when we would talk about his daddy. Tell me how much we spoiled Chris. His most beautiful gift to me was my granddaughter. He lives on in her. Thank you God for the precious memories.

A day does not go by without thinking of you, the smile, the hand sign and the words I love you Mama.

To Willie and the Crain Family
What can I say?
First, I want to extend my deepest sympathy for your lost. Second, I am sorry that I am just finding out about the loss of your son, David.
On March 27, 2015, I was channel surfing and came across channel 99, NOLA for life and witness your heartfelt story of your son, David.
It's been a long time that we have seen each other, but know that I keep all the VA family members in mind and spirit. May God continue to bless you as you remember all the wonderful time that you shared with your son.
With deepest sympathy
Claudia & Errol Ally

Today was your 37th Birthday. I thank God for the 34 years. It was a blessing because you left me with a beautiful granddaughter. You would be so proud of the young lady she is growing up to be. Ashaki is doing a good job. I continue to pray to God for answers because he is the only one that sees all things. I went to your graveside and sat for a while. The flowers were still on the graveside for a change.

Two years ago today was the longest and saddest day of my life. I did not get a chance to hug you one more time and tell you how much I love you. I am so grateful for the people in my life who loved you so much like me. This is what makes me press on in my walk with God. Only God knows my hurt and pain. Your daughter is what makes me smile when I think about you. SHe is so much like you in so many ways. I thank God that I still have a part of you here with me. I miss you so much.
