Quite often you just come to mind, you were so young when we lost you, today you would've been close in age as me,almost 25, & I still think of me you jay & Jon hanging out as teens, but I also think where you would be now, what would you be doing, who would you be with? I think of how you impacted my life for a moment, you were there for me at important times when I had no one that says a lot about what kind of person you were, so to this day...I wonder? Why you? But in god's graces I know you're okay...till we meet again Tasha love, RIP...

“ Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.. love will last forever!” 1 Corinthians 13:4

A Great many people believe that our eternal life will began at the time of our death. In reality, our eternal life with God began on the day of our Baptism, the day we became children of God. As adopted members of God's family, we become heirs of Heaven; as our heritage, God shares His very life with us. Life that is eternal, life that transcends all the time and space....Wheh we reflect on this great truth, we can come to relize that those we love who has goin before us, marked with the sign of faith , have not been separated from us. They are really much closer to us because they now live in the fullness of God's love, a love that embraces each one of us, weather here on earth or in the heavenly kingdom. It is in this divine love that we r truly united, not only to God , but to eachother....At a time of mourning, we ofted feel that we are distant from those we love. Actually, they are united with us now more than ever before. No more do they know the restraints of the humand condition. Now they are able to love us with a deeper love, a fuller love, alove that is enricher by God"s own love. No death does not separate us from those we love. It deepends por union with God and each other...............
R.I.P.....Tasha
In Loving Memory
God our refuge and strength,
close at hand in our distress;
meet us in our sorrow and lift our eyes
to the peace and light of your constant care.
Help us so to hear your word of grace
that our fear will be dispelled by your love,
our loneliness eased by your presence
and our hope renewed by your promises
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen......Eternal rest, grant unto Tasha, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon her.
May the souls of the faithful departed
through the mercy of God rest in peace.
Amen....Auntie...We all love u & missu...

O God, you do not willingly grieve or afflict
your children.
Look with pity on the suffering of this family
in their loss.
Sustain them in their anguish;
and into the darkness of their grief
bring the light of your love;
through Jesus we pray.
Amen.
R.I.P...WE miss u...Auntie

God our Father,
Your power brings us to birth,
Your providence guides our lives,
and by Your command we return to dust.

Lord, those who die still live in Your presence,
their lives change but do not end.
I pray in hope for my family,
relatives and friends,
and for all the dead known to You alone.

In company with Christ,
Who died and now lives,
may they rejoice in Your kingdom,
where all our tears are wiped away.
Unite us together again in one family,
to sing Your praise forever and ever.

Amen....Rest In Peace..........

I speak of you often, wonder what your life would have been like now. A few months ago I went to Florida and spent hours on the beach at night alone & shed tears for you and my aunt. I will never forget you & that is mainly because of our friendship was one on another mental platform. We often spoke about death and how your grandfather visited you after he passed, you made me realize loved ones do visit..thank you for being a positive individual. Love Ya, Shaun.

Another year has gone by with thoughts of you in mind. Memories of you and the family linger. Today I went to see you with your cousin Joylin and Joshua. We cleaned away the blanket of snow that was covering your stone and your grandma and grandpa Gonsalves stone. That was Joylin's first visit with you. She misses you very much. I took her shopping today to one of your favorite stores and she bought all the things that represented you.

We miss you so much my Natasha. We love you with all our heart.

Write each day to you and each time my heart skips a beat. Still, I continue to write. Expressing and pouring my feelings to you.

Continue watching over us all that are suffering and missing you.

Love you

Natasha,

Yesterday was a very beautiful day. I went to visit you and saw many beautiful flowers and a teddy bear. I knew that teddy bear was from from your dad. My visit with you was precious and I know that all the time I was there you were listening. Natasha, I cannot stop crying for you. I think of those big beautiful eyes of yours and your messy hair when you got up in the morning. All I kept thinking about was the last conversation we had. We had planned our weekend, dinner for the next day wish was good Friday. Saturday, I was going to take you shopping for clothes for your new corp. job, later do our first mother and daughter dancing night at the Black Repretory. Natasha, I know you are doing a lot of dancing where you are. Jonathan called me yesterday and wanted to see me, he is making sure I am all right. He has changed so much and is a good young man. I love him dearly. Everytime I see him I cry and think of you and say to myself I see why you did love him. Natasha, Jonathan misses you very much. Joshua is doing good in school. He has all A' and B's. He saids you are watching him that's why he is doing so well. All of your friends are remembering you always. Keep up the good work up there for us. You are the giving us strength. I love you and miss you. You are the candle of my life that will remain lit forever.
