Last month I got really sad listening to Pandora and when you ran across my mine as I sit at my desk at work I lost it. As the tears fell I could hear you say you're ok, stop don't be not punk but easier said. It wasn't until I got home that I realize it was close to your passing 4 days to be exact. WOW is what I thought. SIGHHHhhh.. I then realized that what we had/have is real. There's not a day that goes by that I don't look at your picture that you gave to me that still sit on my dresser, it's still in the same frame you gave it to me in ;) or think about you. Your smile, the motivation and of course you saying 110% those many trips to the town LOL and all the other memory's we shared. Your truly irreplaceable.

D-Down for ME!dedicated Man,Friend and Father
S-Special man,Mr.Smiley,Sweetie Pie
Having that UNIQUE someone in your life that brightens your day is a wonderful feeling.The day MY ANGEL went home to his father,My first thought was "WHAT HAPPEN TO MY FRIEND? Where did he go? When is he coming back? Why did you live me HOWARD?But when you love someone as much as I love HEAVY,it's hard not having that security blanket there to help you make those right decisions in life.We became friends for a reaason.I THANK GOD,that he has MY ANGEL at home with him.Sleepless nights are now becoming a habit.....I hear your voice whispering in my ear "DONT WORRY,I'll always be hear for you,but I'm in a better place now,(A safer place)..Sometimes you tend to take advantage of the time you have in life,but as you know tommorrow is not promised to you.Our friendship was very special and everyday I wake up knowing I have MY ANGEL HOWARD looking over me,at that point I know I would be all right.Friends are forever,even though they might not be around,your friend will always be in your heart no matter what.I knew HOWARD was a good person by the first conversation.I was amazed by his demenor.He taught me alot things,He was very intelligent and SMART!He also taught me how to keep secrets.(SMILE)

Hey Hev Happy New Year's I thought of you today I turned on the radio and that song by Goapele was playing I rememeber you use to pull up on that motorcycle playing that song.. Oh you called me looking at you lalalala... And I knew that it was you outside. I talk to Sav all the time know. I try and be strong for her because I know she hurts so badly. And she tries to be strong for me as well because the lost of my boyfriend. I dont understand Sacramento use to be a good place to live grow up and raise your family it just seems like every year it gets worser and worser. Boy Hev please look over me and tell Jada that I miss him dearly I hope you see my babies up there give them a big kiss for me and you tell them mommie loves them and cant wait till I can hold them again. Everyday is a struggle. Since I lost my daughter and son last month I feel like everything I love I loose. I still dont understand why but now I know that this is life you live and you die. But for me I dont know if dying is what im afraid of. I think its more less how im going to go.. And I just want to make sure I make it up there were you are so I pray for forgiveness everyday... I love you Howard and thanks for being a good friend to us all....

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

When the wind blows,it softens my heart despite the fact it has been permanently hardened.
When the winds blows,it talks to me about my life and it hugs my soul and bestows a warmness upon it.
When the wind blows it forces me to look to the future,It reminds me of our past and were we came from and where we are going.
As the winds blows it comfort me..
The wind blows away all my hidden struggle and pain..As the wind blows fear is erased,it gives me a since of pride ,honesty and truth.
Its Duty that bring everyone joy everyday.
That wind that is so strong is here to protects us all from any hurt and pain,So when you feel that WIND that is so STRONG and REFRESHING you know it's Duty!I am who I am because of you...Happiness abounding and sad times are few,I stand tall as a nubian "PRINCESS" and respectful and because of you I stand with my head up high with confident with no queston why,pefection one cant deny.
Loving you Duty and missing you,
Your Best Friend in the world

Big Daddy-'HEVY DUTY'
Had a long but great visit with you on sunday not wanting to interrupt with any of the immediate family that could have been their saturday the anniversary that you were taking away from myself and others that loved you and everything you represented.The fine man that you were,a father,son,nephew,uncle and a friend to so many.The rememberance of everything you brought into my life I can only wish that you were around for so much more.The number of nights we spent together,the trips we traveled together,the jokes we played on one another,the love notes you left for me in the bedroom when you came and I wasnt there,us hanging out and doin' it BIG!!! I miss all of that.After all this took place I had so many phone calls from folks to find out what had happened and how was I coping?Coming to the awake was hurtful not being able to at least see you one last time to kiss you bye.Attending your services was beautiful though and your brother put his thing down.I couldnt hold the tears back especially after hearing the things that others had to say about you and how you also touched them.Seeing your children and family and how they were trying to hold it together but doing pretty good.I know it has been just days over a year that we have been departed with you,but for myself everyday is a struggle feeling as if you were just tooken yesterday.With the strength of GOD Ive asked him for advice and guidence with the things that I do.How am I suppose to move on without the man I knew I could always count on.The man I knew would give it to me straight.There is no one that can take that place that you still have in my heart and soul.I know that their will be a day that we will see/be able to be with one another again,and the visits with you and images that I had and continue to keep of you and I will have to be enough until we're together again.You may be gone physically,but your spirit is with and carried with so many.I wanted to say again thank you for giving me that part of you for so many years.I felt priviledged to have one of the many few people like yourself to touch me the way that you have.Now I know that you are an angel that will always keep over me.
I LOVE YOU BABY-
*YOUR GIRL SAV*

I want you here so bad. I'll love you forever and I'll remember you in everything I do. You are the life of my party! Always sweet, smiling, caring, loving, and I can go on and on. I can remember every single moment in time that we shared on each date that passes. Everyday that I wake up I know what I did on that same day last year with you in my life. I am trying my best to stay strong. But you know how sensitive and emotional I can get. I'm doing my best to keep smiling for you because I know you're watching. Monica is here for me like she promised she would be, we get together and talk about your silly self all the time (smile!). Not to mention how much I miss you, I miss being around your little ones just as much because they are the life of you and they will live just for you! I remember when it seemed like it was yesterday that I didn't know your name, and the next day I felt you in my heart. I have so many fun memories. We had such a nice time together. You have taught me so much and I promise you I will keep it with me like a key to a lock.
