DOUGIE,
I really can't believe i'm signing your guest book right now.I would have never imagined you would be taken away so tragically.You loved watching Sports Center,playing the game and watching cartoons. You truly had a good heart.You'll be missed.

MY DOUGIE,
No words can explain how lost I feel without you now.You were my man,my friend,my SOULMATE.You did not deserve to be taken away from me.Each day seems like a bad dream that I cant wake up from.The whole family misses you.Nothing seems real any more.Evernight you came home by at the most 12'o clock.We all watched T.V. and laughed.You always had your coronas.You and Nas walked home from school every day.Nas loves you so much.I'm really at a lost for words because it is so hard for me to undertand how your not here with me right now.We had many good years together,and I will never forget you.There will always be a place in my heart for MY DOUGIE.I LOVE YOU,I MISS YOU,AND I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU.

I miss you so much already!! I just saw you the Saturday before it happened and I still cant come to terms with it. I came to the funeral but couldnt bring myself to see you that way, but I know you knew I was there. I just couldnt take it and I know you understand. You mean a lot to me and always will. You will never be forgotten, never!
You are deeply missed.

To Dawu, The day I found out you departed this life I was deeply saddened. I no you are in a better place but time will never prepare anyone for a lost like this. To the love ones of Wu may god comfort your heart and keep you strong in your time of need. This is a shock to us all although I met Wu my through my cousin some years ago and his demeanor came off nothing short then a genuine person. There aren't to many times when you can say someone had a good heart but it will be a shortcoming statement to say anything less.

To: AP I no how you 2 were, when my cousin called me and informed me of your loss I prayed that everyone that he has touch find the strength to carry on. Be strong and remember there has to be some kind of struggle before success and in due time everyone heart will find peace. God Bless you all.

RIP Wu, You will always hold a special place in every one heart that knew you. To the love ones and to the wife of Wu May god comfort you in your time of need. I use to see Wu take his baby to school every morning dowtown paterson, I saw that he was doing something positive and it often make me realize that it's ok for change and from here on out that's what I will try to do CHANGE for the better. I'm a testimont of a hard headed individual but in due time I can be better and always remember god allow u turns..

Love,

Sheima Leary,

Wu,

it's so difficult to accept that your no longer here, it really hurts. I've known you since childhood and we all grew up on the block together (N. 3rd). You were always a humble brother, very down to earth and always witty...and if we ever needed to ask a question about sports, we knew "WU" would have the answer, and I'll definetly miss those sports breakdowns...You will be dearly missed but you will never be forgotten..you will forever live in our hearts. I love you my dog.

Wu yesterday I was unable to attend your full services due to me working 2nd shift but I no you saw me there along with AP paying my respects to you. AP told me he learned of his best friend/brother death through a visit from his mother and wife and said he had a hard time excepting it til actually seeing you with his own eyes. He was hurt god and he took me down with him. Yo son we go way back me you Dog, Lionel, Dontaye way back to school 12 days son and I can't believe this is reality! I regret not seeing you since 07 actually came in but until we meet again God no that you name will continue to ring bells.

Peace,

To The Family and Friends of Douglas "Wu" Wilson.....,
Please allow me to extend my deepest condolences on your loss. My only consolation at this time is that I remember the beautiful aspects of Wu, his smile, charm, wit, and genuine good nature. When those tears start to flow and I ask myself "Why him?", I take a minute to remember one of his silly jokes, a story he told me, or any instance where I saw him smile thru those big bright eyes....as long as we remember the life and times of our fallen soldier.....He's still here with us....may the memory of you last forever.

..MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU STRONG IN YOUR TIME OF GRIEVING.

My Dear Friend Wu,
Words cannot express the void I feel right now, I am already missing your smile, bright eyes, infectious laugh, and your wit...I can't say that i have had the pleasure of knowing you as intimately as your family or circle of friends...but i have known you long enough to know that on that night...We were robbed of a ray of sunshine...Dougie

Dedicated to Wu:

They say everything happens for a reason,

Love, Death and Pain, What's the meaning?

They say a new star is born when a precious life is taken,

The lord holds the answer and there is no debating,

My better half was more then a friend to you,

He truly was your brother,

No one could heal our wounds so to replace you there will be no other,

They say time will heal all wounds but your life was so precious,

Time will never come to soon.

Douglas Wu Wilson you will remain forever is our hearts,

The world will never be the same without you for you have truly left your mark.

Love,

Tosha and Dog

More then a friend, You are my brother Love Dog!
