Deawna, Lil' Deian, Woo, Debbie and family:
Please know that my heart goes out to you all. No words can make up the loss you have experienced. My prayers are with you all. God will wrap his arms around you and comfort you. He knows what is in each and everyone of your hearts, don't be afraid to ask. You know your dad/brother would not want us to move on so that we all can be with him someday. And just like the poem, take one day at a time. God has a plan with all of us, and we all no what Deian's plan was here on earth. Keep believing and keep the faith, because we all know how our lives have changed with the grace of God (there is no other way). Bless you all.
Love you.

The last time I saw Deian was at the Dollar Tree that was one year ago. I am sad that he is no longer here with us but joyful that he has moved to a much better place.He will suffer in this life no more for God has opened up the door to life everlasting and eternal love in that wonderful place called Heaven above. To the family, and especially to his children, please except my deepest sympathy,and may you find comfort in his memory

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.

Debbie and Mike,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Deian was a good guy who I have known since about 9 years old. Debbie remember the good times and just how much your brothers liked to tease and give us such a hard time when we were kids and most of all the fun that we shared.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Call me.
Love, Geneva
