DARLISA,
I am so sorry to know that another important person in your life had to depart from here. It is not at all easy, and sometimes it doesn't seem fair, however I know that you can and will rebound from all of this, so just take your time with your healing, and CRY as much as you want to. Believe it or not that is the first step of the healing process. God loves you and so do I.

Sending my deepest condolences in the loss of Chucky. It seems like just yesterday he was just a baby in my arms. I wish I was there to see him develop into a young man. Words cannot describe the feeling of losing of a child, but may God provide you with strength and comfort in the wake of this tragic event. You are all always in my prayers.

To the Bandy,Diaz,and Butler Family,
You have my deepest sympathy in the passing of Jerry. I played on the basketball team with Jerry at West Side my freshman through junior year. He was one of the guys who pushed me everyday to be a better player and he will be deeply missed. I know that the family is a God fearing family and believer of his word, for he will never put more on us than we can bear. Continue to look to the hills from which cometh your health and always remember weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning. To Dontreal,Darlisa and Antwon, Be strong for your family in this time. Keep Jerry with you at all times, which i know you will, by being a positive influence for his children. May God Bless You.

I send my sympathy out to you and the angels that God have blessed you and Jerry with. And just remember that no matter what God will be there for you when the road gets rough. If you need someone to talk to don't hesitate to call.

Darlisa, I often think about you and Jerry and how inseparable you were at West-Side. I was just thinking about you guys a few weeks ago as I looked back at a picture that you gave me that you took at the Prom. My sympathy goes out to you and your family during your sorrow. Now that you have the job of being mother and father stay strong, raise those children in the right way and keep God on your side.
Love you,

Gone but Not Forgotten
Dedicated To Jerry Bandy
You were so full of life,
Always smiling and carefree,
Life loved you being a part of it,
You could make anyone laugh,
If they were having a bad day,
No matter how sad people were
You could take the hurt away.
Nothing could every stop you,
Or even make you fall,
You were ready to take on the world,
Ready to do it all.
But God decided he needed you,
So from this world you left,
But you took a piece of all of us,
Our hearts are what you kept.
Your seat is now empty,
And it's hard not to see your face,
But please always know this,
No one will ever take your place.
You left without a warning,
Not even saying good-bye,
And we can't seem to stop,
Asking the question why?
Nothing will ever be the same,
The house is empty without your laughter,
But I know you're in Heaven,
Watching over us and looking after.
We didn't see this coming,
It hit us by surprise,
And when you left this world,
A small part of us died.
Your smile could brighten anyone's day,
No matter what they were going through,
And we know everyday for the rest of our life,
We'll be missing you.

I will never forget the day when I met my little cousin Jerry & Darlisa for the first time in Math class at West Side I knew they were perfect for each other. Words just can't explain how I feel right now, but I do know that there is a God that will comfort you when in need.
To the Bandy, Butler, & Diaz family may God Bless you.
