I send my deepest condolences to Cu's family, especially my dear friend, LaTonja.

"Tanya"- I can't begin to know how it feels to lose the love of your life. Your relationship was special in every way, good and bad. Just know that time and prayer will help to heal all wounds and as your friend I will do my best to help you and the boys through this tough time. Whenever you need me just call. I'm here.

Snook, Doo,Kevin- You had a wonderful father with a big big heart with lots of love in it and he allowed it to over-flow to everyone he meet. A legend in his own time. Boys walk in your fathers footsteps.

Cu-Thank you for caring and giving so much of you unselfishly. I know the time spent, the yelling at the kids were all done out of love and to try and keep them on a good path. To some of those kids you were like a father, uncle or big brother. From the bottom of my heart I send love, honor and respect for all you have given.

MISS YOU!! YOUR GONE BUT DEFINATELY NOT FORGOTTEN. BABY DO YOUR THING-YOUR THING!!!!!

Coo, I remember all the times you would yell and tease us on the field. I remember all the times you were x-tra hard on us, especially on Tanya. We would all say "man coach trippin". Tanya would say, "Girl don't worry about him, lets just play ball". We all thought you were being hard but now we know you were just being dedicated. There is one thing we all learn from you coach and that is "If you go do something than do it right and always do your best". We can recall all the countless hours you put in at the Hunters field with us and the boys. You were definitely an asset to our young generation. Now you can look down and smile to know that you have made your mark in this world (a very positive mark at that) and now we can all look up and smile to know that there is definitely a heaven for a "G". We love you and will miss you always.

Kukuma,



You know I never called you Vauchon. And I know that you won't read this, but I'll blow up if I don't get this out. Writing always helps me.



I MISS YOU SO MUCH. You were like the sibling I never had and one of my FAVORITE cousins. Although we didn't see each other every day, you were never far from my thoughts and best wishes. My heart is shattered and I can't cry hard enough to get rid of this pain. First uncle Shon, and now you. I know deep down that you wouldn't want me to be sad, and I should be happy for you because you are now in a better place than all of us, but it's SO HARD. I'm really trying, but nothing helps when the media continuously harps on the bad instead of the good. I will always remember and cherish the good times we had - even the eye incident. "Oooh my eye!!" You know what I'm talking about! It wasn't funny then, but now it's a knee slapper. I will always remember the severe, yet hilarious, way you teased me and the unique way you did "the wave" on grandma's porch with me and Ricky while we danced to the Wikki Wikki song on the radio.



When we were really little, I didn't want you to come near me because I thought you were a yucky, stinky boy. What I wouldn't do now to give you a big hug and tell you how much you are loved and missed. If you are stuck in between worlds until we find your killer, please visit me. I won't be scared. If you have already reached heaven, please kiss Shon and grandpa for me and watch over Lala. She needs you even more than I. I can't wait to see you again someday. I am no longer afraid of death. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!



Your cousin,

Keisha "Cookie Monster" Cojoe.
