As much as we try to accept the fact that ur gone...we miss u more and more everyday.I was ur wife (what Brother used to call me) especially when it was my turn to cook,whether it was breakfast, lunch,or dinner and u would love and eat every bit of it,then u would quote "bay ur a good house wife...lol" U were not just my boyfriend u were my bestfriend and no 1 can compare 2 the love we shared.When I look @ Kearra I see u...we have so many memories that will never fade away,as a matter of fact I have flashbacks everyday of our pillow talks & the love after the fights,wishing the evening of August 11, 2007 would've never happened.U were there for us whenever we needed u through the good & bad. Remember once our seed started to develope you made a promise to me that you would put your family in a house and take care of home...I must say"u were a man of ur word" and I thank u because u showed me that young men out the hood could make a change if or when they really want to.I know ur watching over us ^ there & I can't wait until we meet again in eternal life.Tearra & I miss u so much until it hurts,even K-K she just doesn't know it now.Oh fatt,I will like 2 thank u again 4 not running out when times got hard and $ got low.U were a true man to me & father to T-T cause u stayed,we prayed,& stuck together until we got back on...that's why through ups & downs it didn't matter we were stronger than ever. Even after our last fight a family member who u love dearly told u "u didn't need 2 be with me" but u insist that I was ur soulmate and if there weren't any problems there wouldn't be a relationship...that's why I'm still deeply in love with u....& ur mama told me that u sat down & told Gio and her that"out of all the young ladies & women that you've been with I was the 1 you were going to be with"so R~I~P fatt & when we meet again I want it to be just like old times.
La'Shonda Smith(Skidmore) let u tell it lol!

It's us again daddy Mickey and Fatt we just wish u were here i still wait fa dat phone call say'n i'm fine it was all a joke u always play'd back door games lol but all jokes aside i honestly thought 08' was gon be our year to start all ova u said u were ready and i kept tell'n u get ur lil girls 2gether and we gon be straight i would give anything to have u back n our life we laid down some fire plans i just wish u were here 2 fall through u said u would always be there no matter what but GOD had other plans yes Me'Khi eyes are still pretty and yes they still change colors cuz he get it from his daddy lol i love u yea baby we were almost at 3 yrs. but ima make it do what it do even though i miss da late nite talks lol and da day time drama u gave me da greatest gift of all times Me'Khi Kernell Smith(Skidmore) 07/20/06 he helps me everyday and doesnt even know when i cry and mickey is around he play da big boy role and wipe my face and gives me love lilttle things like dat makes my day a lil easier i dont and never will doubt ur love fa me cuz my proof is n da letters ya all 10 of them and da love ur family shows towards us u did ur thang but u knew what it was and where it was good at lol my promise 2 u i made i hold my end down like a uptown g suppose 2 continue 2 watch ova us and we gon continue to keep ur memories alive we love u daddy Me'Khi & La'shonda Da Fam

My mother wants you to know that Brother was a 7th generation member of Amozion Baptist Church. In fact one of his fore bearers was one of the original signers of The Acts of Incorporation of Amozion Baptist Church.
But, I want you to know is that Brother was baptized in water; but more importantly, he was baptized in the Holy Ghost. He could speak in tongues and pray in the Spirit.
He had a heavenly language; but his earthly and earthy language always got the best
of him.
Nevertheless, he received Jesus, and when he did, Jesus never left him. God's goodness and mercy blanketed his life.
Somewhere in the Bible, it says that when you lose anything for the sake of the gospel, it will be replaced 100 fold.
Could anyone imagine 100 Brothers??!!!!
Brother was a headache and a handfull...and we all loved him....with his disgusting self.
Brother loved his people. He was not one to be alienated from any member of his family. He loved parents; his grandparents, his sisters and brothers, his aunt, his kids, his friends, his boys. He loved his neighbors young and especially old...always giving a greeting, always expressing a concern.
But he was devoted to his grandmother, Emelda, whom he called everyday, always asking if she wanted anything; needed him to bring her anything to eat...even on that last morning; assuring her that she could call him anytime she wanted...he liked that she called...
Brother was the quintessential "Peck's bad boy". But he was also a good child.
And he should sill be here. Just 23 years old...we should still see him; hear him, his dreams; even his schemes; still be aggravated by him; love him.
But God is sovereign and God is good all the time.
To those of you who are his friends and contemporaries, I pray that in your pathways there be life. That you live and not die. That you will know God and His son, Jesus and the goodness and mercy that is available to you through Christ Jesus.
It is important to the mothers and fathers that have raised you and those that love you.
I love you...God bless you..Cover you with the blood of Jesus

LEKIKA "KEEKIE" SKIDMORE
September 5, 2007
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
