It’s been twelve years since you left Moose. I understand Gods will, but it still feels the same. I know your in a better place and I will see you again. Love and miss you so much, not a day goes by that I don’t think about you, think what could I have done? God told me he was going to take you, so it was bigger than me. I know your good, even though I’m not at times. You finally got your Mansion, and your wife Grandpa and other loved ones.
See you when I get there......

Miss you like crazy Moose. Thinking of all the the qualities you carried keeps me straight. It was never a dull moment with you. Your charm, wit, comedic way. Your love for your family and friends. All the times we had to rescue you. . Love you nephew!❤❤

Hard to believe it's been eleven years, the loss and shock of it all never goes away. You are never forgotten, the new generation of your cousins and nieces talk about you like they know you. The legend of the Moose lives on, trust me it does!! See you when I get there, love you always,

Happy B Day!! Miss and love you so much. Seven years, I guess the best way to look at it for me, is I'm a year closer to seeing you. I keep it going, the way I preached to you, if I were gone. Not so easy, and I still would sacrifice me for you all day! Love you and miss you son......

Hey my Love, it's the eve of your 26th Birthday. I miss you like crazy! You should see Kera's little T's, Tyliez & Tytus!!! Tytus's birthday is today, he's 1 (smile). They are adorable, you would get a kick out of them. Tell Jesus, i'm looking for a full-time job (lol...), baby needs a new pair of shoes! I Love you more than life!!! Happy Birthday My Love. Have a piece of cake for ME... Love, your #1 Girl - Mom

Hey My Love Holland, It's your Mom. I was having one of those what's it all for days.... But all is well. I miss you terribly. I ask Eli (my puppy) all the time, where is Holland? He just snuggles up to me more (lol...). He's my love dog, I adore him, you would get a kick out of him. I know that all is well with you, because you get to be with Jesus. Well I'll write you soon. I Love You, Always, Your #1 Groupie, Mom. Hugs N Kisses to you.

Hey Moose, it's pops. You have been on my mind so much, it's crazy! It doesn't get better, EVER!! God just see's me through it. I wish you could see your younger cousins, they are a host of characters. Carter is really the business in baseball, really good. Reminds me of you with his skills, trying to determine if he will be as tough. Artie is like you for sure! Boxing skills at three years old . James is a wise guy, baby D swears he runs a 4.5, more like 8.0 . You would enjoy them. Of course the girls are growing up too fast. Miss you so much, I'm still trying to figure this all out. See you when I get there!
Love you,

Hello Mr. Holland, this is your mother. It's been a while since I have been on this site, but I was just thinking about you early this morning, time has really flown by, but to me it still seems like yesterday. I miss you so much Stink, how's Jesus doing? Lol... I'm sure you're hanging out with Him everyday. I'm a little jaded. Life here is going pretty good. Just missing you. I Love You so much baby. See you when I get there. Hugs N Kisses!!! Mom B.

Hey Moose,
Just checkin" to see how things are going with you and grandpa. We all miss you sooooo much. You are both thought of daily. Your mom and dad are doing the best they can. We have such great memories carved in our hearts and that with knowing you are sitting with the father in Glory. I know you and daddy were watching us walk in your memory at the "One Legacy" walk. It was a beautiful day Moose. Bittersweet but beautiful. Both sides of our families, friends,and the ROC represented.
Now your dad, Donna, and I are going to become Ambassadors for "One Legacy" in your name. Your organ donation has saved the lost of 4 other people.God called you home when you completed your assignment and he orchestrated the organ transplantations so that the others may live.Although the pain is hard to bare at times, we trust God and his will for your life.
How is Suga Baby doing? I know he is happy to be
with his mom. I tell you, we will celebrate your birthday to the ful-
lest and make sure you keep them laughing until I get there.
Love you,
Aunti Twink, Nana, and Kyndall-Girl

Whats up son, its pops. Its been a while, but since we talk every day, its all good. You already know, there isnt a day that goes by that I dont think about you. There has not been a week that has gone by, that I havent shed a tear over you. I feel like I have been cut in half. You were the other half of me, and I will NEVER be the same man I was when you were here. I still have days when I ask God, why he left me here. I have many days where I expect the worst to happen, and hope for the best. If God called me and said he was calling me home, I would be so ready to go be with you!! Its funny, everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die. The thought never scared me since I changed my life years ago. I cant wait to reunite with you and my loved ones. I feel cheated sometimes, but then someone every day loses someone. I have to trust Gods will, but it is not easy. Everything I ever did was based around you, im still trying to figure out what to do with my life. IM going through a little drama right now, but its not the worst thing ive been through, as we all know. NOTHING could crush me more, than the loss of you. I hold on to every word I ever told you;"keep it pushin son", "it will get greater later". Its hard, but I know its God and you and pops keeping me strong.Ive always put everyone before me, that was my job. Now that your gone, IM gonna start thinking about ME. I havent felt happy one day since you've been gone, ive just been okay. I get sick sometimes, when I think of how God shown me this before it happened. I tried so hard to protect you, but you had to do things your way. I am so sorry I wasnt able to protect you like always. I have often felt like I failed you, I was always able to make things okay. I know you are glad we elected for you to be a organ donor, four people are alive because of you. I am working and takin classes with Legacyone, to education minorities on the importance of donating. I will carry your name and all that you gave until God calls me home. Life is really not the same without you, I still havent figured out what I have to look forward to. IM trying to keep the faith. I know everyone misses you badly, I see it on their faces when your name is mentioned. They all have a funny story to tell about something you did. You know I could talk about a crazy story every day, about something we did together, never ending!! I miss you so much son, and I cant wait to be with you again, it wont be soon enough. I love and miss you and my dad so much. Until I can get home......

Hey moose....I know you are in heaven..which makes me able to be content with the fact that you passed. But I must tell you that you and your family have been on my heart..and I'm sorry they lost such an amazing young man...I was just thinking about you and D rapping in your dads living room and you got em bad and you were just like 11 it was incredible. Or when I introduced you to my cousin candice and you fell in love and so I dropped her off for a date with you and you asked her to brush her teeth with you...lol...your guts...anyway...I still have love for you...and I will see you again in heaven...."God take care of Moose..amen"

Moose! Hey cousin...sorry I haven't stopped in to say hello in such a long time. Just sitting here and had a quiet moment at work and you were on my mind.
OMG, The boys are so big! Little Anthony is 13 and taller than me! He is wearing a size 12 shoe! DeSean is almost 6 feet tall! We talk about you often. And everytime we do, someone has a funny Moosie story to share that we all laugh about. Everytime I make spinach dip Anthony brings up the time you and him sat at Grandma's kitchen table and ate THE WHOLE THING, bread bowl and all,LOLOLOL. And DeSean loves wearing one of your old pop warner t-shirts. I bought some ninja turtle bracelets and the boys wear them EVERY DAY in remembrance of you. I hope you know how much you are loved and missed. I am framing your picture, but I have to get a custom matte made for it but I am working on that.
Please send us all an occasional sign to remind us that you are watching over us with Jesus. Please give Grandpa a big hug for me. I LOVE YOU & MISS YOU LOT'S MOOSE. I'm sure Heaven has experienced new things since you've been there! LOL.
Much Love,
Tinnikie...or as you always called me Tinik... LOL

Hey My Love,
Mommie was just thinking about you. I miss you so very very much. I can't wait to see you again. I've been kissing your photo, everyday. You are always in my thoughts Stink. I know that you're with Jesus, that's pretty much my best comfort right now. I Love You With ALL Of My Heart.
Love Mom.

Hey Stink,
I went to Alexis' baby shower, it was very nice, her people were so sweet, you would have loved them. She had a cousin who was such a nut, she had me laughing all day. Her mom & dad were very compassionate. There was a young lady and her mom there, they said they spent a lot of time with you, they thought you were so funny. We all missed you so very much. It just felt like you should have been there. Anyway.... I miss you more than words can even express. Some up days, some down, just very hard sometimes. I know you must see me, because sometimes I pray and ask God to just send me some comfort, and I see your face in my dreams or hear your voice in my spirit and it helps me to go on. I Love You Stink - All My Love - Mom.

Dear Moose, I thought I`d drop you a line today, nothing has seemed right since you went away. Its been a year, I can remember the day, it makes me sick that I couldnt make things okay. I can remember watching Ninja Turtles all day, I would buy you a new one every Friday. They knew us by name at Castle Park and Scandia, we use to do the damn thing. Your first year of Baseball in Rancho, you killed it!! You had a glove at shortstop, I was amazed and boasting, "Thats my Son"!! You could do fifteen good push ups at six years old & forty situps, we created swag way before its time. We use to be so inseparable, you slept with me until you were in Junior High School, I love you so much it was nothng, we were a team. I can remember your first fight at school, I never promoted violence, but you got your glove back, GOD forgive us. You served them well in football, you were always strong physically and mentally. I put alot of pressure on you in the beginning, I knew you werent trying as hard as you could to be good, you just were. I can remember you playing on the church basketball team, you were a ball hog!! The floor didnt even get to touch the ball, you were guts!! We had our motor cycles, you had all the latest cloths, timberlands, whatever, you were my son and my baby. We would go to the Alley, and hook it up. I would lace you with nice suits, you wore them well. Remember we would go to Venice Beach and clown, we would laugh so hard!!! We were so much alike, telling jokes, clownin, demanding respect, looking out for family and friends. You were listening to me more than I knew. It took me a while to give you space, and make your own mistakes. I love you so much, I wanted the best for you. I was always afraid when you drove, especially when you didnt get rest. It is still so painful to me, I feel like I should have been able to protect you at all cost. I love you so much, my whole life was being your father. Sometimes I wonder what I have to look forward to now that you are gone. I shed tears for you more than you know, I miss you so much. I listen to your songs when IM alone, I feel like its just me and you. I know you help to keep me going, though I would rather be there with you. I would always tell you that you would be king when IM gone, and now you are with the KING. I still ask GOD why, it is so hard to accept. Its funny that everyone wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die. I am not afraid, I long to be with you.I am not so social any more, as IM sure you see, not even with family like I use too. It so hard to function with you gone, not too much matters. I pray all through the day. I know you are use to me being strong, but I dont want to be strong, I want my son back!! I really dont know what to do any more. I wish I could call GOD and talk to him, I want to know WHY!! He could have taken me. I just take one day at a time, I have nothing to get excited about, every day is another one like the other one. I know heaven has not seen anything like you, you are one of a kind. I cant wait to reunite with you and my dad. I feel like the load I carry around is too much for me, I never thought my life could go so bad. I want to live my life right, I dont want anything to stop GOD from putting the team back together, You and me. I will end this letter, as I am getting depressed thinking about you being gone. I love you sooooo much, dont know how long I can survive without you. Call me when you can,
POPS
P.S. everyone misses you!!!

Fatfat I get on here and I freeze like I don't talk to you so many hours of the day. Now that your not here with me all of the things that have been happening are everything you would protect me from when you were here on Earth. I have a headache right now and I cry whenever I remember the good times. I remember when I first saw you it was a picture of you and brie on her folder and me and crystal were like oh my gosh who is that, he's my next boyfriend then you walked up and we were so shy until you said hey sticks and bones. I guess 62 lbs was small for two freshman.The next time we saw you I was at cheer practice. For a moment you were sitting down next time I looked around the room for you, you were right behind me telling me to keep up :) Man fatfat I miss you so much. I keep getting flash back of this time last year I was "in pain" too. My hardest thing to cope with is you asked for me..you wanted to see me and I kept putting it off. If I could go back in time I would've spent every last minute with you. Whenever I hear that song "you just never know, don't put it off until tomorrow" I cry because that's exactly what I did. You made Heaven feel even more like home, because of you I'm not scared to die, because of you I'm closer to God, and because of you I'm so much stronger. One of the hardest losses has passed so if I can get through this with tears and sleepless nights then I can get through anything.
p.s Pray for me..watch over me ...this isn't getting any easier. The bible says cast all of your cares on him for he cares. I've never said goodbye, && I've never said I'll see you later I guess my new years resolution will be me being able to accept this.
"I love you to the moon and back". Fatfat && Bambii

Wow! It's your Birthday tomorrow. It's just about 4:00 P.M. on Wednesday, October 7, 2009. I decided I'd write you, seeing as I probably won't go the cemetery tomorrow, it seems to make it worse for me. I carry you in my heart, so you're always with me. I kiss your photo daily and tell you how much I Love You, I Miss You, I Wish Wish Wish you were here. I listen to your music all of the time, people think I'm crazy because I blast it, just like you and I would do. (smile). Tears are starting to flow from my eyes, but I have to tell you how much I Love You My Son, My Stink, My Love Child - words cannot even begin to explain. I know that you can hear me, so I'll just have you to ask God to strengthen me on this day, and comfort me through the night. All My Love Always Holland Elijah -
Your Mom Brenda.
(P.S. I'm going to get my tattoo on Sunday, what you think about that!) LOL... HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY

Moose Moose!
I had no idea this guest book existed! I've been thinkin about you a lot lately so I googled your name and whuddya know.. this popped up! We miss you terribly down here. I thought I was gonna be able to send you a nice little message without gettin all choked up but im finding it hard to compose myself. To this day I still ask why.. I was goin through reading the messages posted and it hurts my heart to see how much everybody misses you, especially your parents. You touched a lot of people and left a deep impact in all of lives. One that can never be filled. All we have now are the memories, and I could go on all day about all the silly memories I have of you! Remember Jackie's shants! lol. Well bro I just wanted to come through and say whats up and tell you that I was thinking of you. Do me a favor and tell my dad I love him and miss him soooo much! Thanks.
Love ya
August 4, 2009
Well...i finally accepted that there's just no getting over you...and that no matter how many screw ups I feel should have gone in your place, GOD decided it was your time..
its even hard to see all of 'the squad' [lol..im sure you thnk im too square to say tht] esp Darryl tht hurts the most..when i see him i just think of you...
i never thought id see the day that you would be gone..and i took so many opportunities to be around you for granted.all the days you called and i didnt answer-all you ever wanted was a ride or some random amount of money like 3 buccs..
i remember the last time i spent a whooole day with you..May 7, 2005..we had drove my mom nuts...and tht nit we stayed at grandmas and you wrote on my face...id give anything to let you do tht again..id give anything to see you bug the crap outta Kyndall..or impersonate my mom/MJ/Tyrone biggums...id give anything just to see you alive again...
i have to go to your site every other week just so i dont go dialing your number to see wht your latest move is or to ask you a dumb question about..well you know about what..lol..
its just so hard letting go..
i promise nothings been right since you left...its crazy b/c you always popped in and out: coming to a thanksgiving, missing an easter, most of the bdays etc but i guess knowing that youre gone is making everything feel like its falling apart...
Christmas felt so wrong..NewYears was ok but you kno how i got through it.and 4th of July just whacc its like the laugh in life is dead...all the jokes=gone..its just not the same..
i dont know wht to say to AFC.your dad..anyone b/c we're all hurting but in our own ways..
All i know is i miss you..i love you and i thank GOD tht I was blessed to call you Cousin/Brother

Hi Moose,
I just wanted to tell you how much I still miss you. Me and your uncle Jimi talk about you often. We like to reminisce about all the crazy things you used to do. I can still picture your face and hear your laughter. Thinking about you always brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart. I know that the Lord can barely contain Himself with you there to keep him laughing! Hmmm…you need to let Him get back to work; I have some prayers going up that I need a response to. :-)
You were such a unique individual; there will never be another you Moose. You are truly missed!

Hi My Love Child, I visited your grave site today for the first time. I thought I would be strong, but I wasn't. I know you saw me. I couldn't stay for very long, the tears wouldn't stop flowing.
I know your Dad goes all the time, so he'll be strong for both of us.
I Love You so very much and miss you terribly. I send you a BIG KISS!!
Love Mommie.

Hey Moose, its me POPS. I still find it hard that you are gone, its been seven months and I still cant let go. People say it will get better, IM sorry I cant feel it. I am only half the man I was since you left, you were my other half. Nothing in my life has been the same since. Somedays I hate my life, because I dont have you. I kiss your picture everyday, and tell you I love you, you probably watch me do it. I wish I could hugs and kiss you everyday. Even when we would fall out, I still told you I love you. If I could take back every argument we had back, I would. I know I only wanted the best for you, and I gave you all that iI could. It still doesnt take away the pain. I pray for all the family, your friends, cousins, and your mom. I pray for understanding, and for GOD to take away the pain. I tell GOD every day if he wants to take me, I am ready! You and I had conversations about what ultimately happened to you, and it haunts me at times. It was like I saw it coming, I feel like I should have been able to protect you from everything, like I did for so long. It was so hard to let go some, because you were becoming your own man, you were still my baby no matter what.I can remember me missing work, and talking you out of going to school so we could go to castle park. You never wanted to miss school then, who would believe that!! We did everything together, until you got a little older. I feel lost some days, I get mad, and ask why, I trust GODS will, its just hard. There`s not a day that goes by that I dont cry over you. I am not the same guy, and I never will. I was always Moose`s dad, thats who I was. Now I dont know who I am any more, I dont. I want to sream some days, the pain I have inside is unexplainable, I miss you so much.I ask you to give me the power to make it through the days sometimes, and I feel you pulling me along. I try to keep everyone going, but sometimes its hard. I try to keep your moms spirits up, and its tough, you were our baby. I would have never imagined you would leave before me,you were the one to carry on our name. You were just like me, as much as you would not agree. I am so proud to be your father, but I am so alone and sad without you. I really dont know if I could ever be happy again without you. Ask GOD when I am coming, and let me know. I am ready to go. Kiss my dad and tell him I love him, and dont bug M.J. too much, I know you love him.
I love you and miss you so much, IM just holding on until IM called.
POPS
P.S. help me get through each day, its hard for me,

Well Moose,
I thought I'd see how you were doing since MJ's passing.(smile) I knew you would take it hard. I could see you "Remembering the Time" when you couldn't stop impersonating him.(tee-hee)
I know your moonwalking all over the place. Maybe grandpa will let you teach him a few moves. Keep him busy. Although I know you and grandpa are well, sometimes the grief for us left behind is overwhelming and sometimes unbearable.When we are all together and you're not there, we pull up on all the memories you left with us. You know, that is what keeps us and your dad together.He misses you like crazy.Keep your eye on him.He would do anything to be with you but God says differently.
I am proud to be your aunt and proud to have a brother who raised his son, a "nut" just like him.
Love ya, Twink aka Boo Boo
Love ya

Hey Stink,
Mommie misses you, just sitting here at work thinking about you. I love you sooooooo much, and I can't wait to see you again. Some days are good, this just happens to be an alright one. I'm having what we call a M.M. (Moosie Moment) (lol). I know you're up there telling jokes, and being who you are, but I wish you were here with me. Thank you so much for being obedient to God on Dec. 7, He knew you were coming home. It's still so unreal not to have you here. I still talk to you though every morning, your photo is on the bathroom sink. Allll My Love, your Mommie.

My son, you were always my reason for everything. All that I am is because of you, you changed me for the better. My life will never be the same without you. I would have traded places with you without question.You were still my baby, its been you and me since you were a baby.I love you more than I love me. We were more alike than I knew, your kindness, your jokes, you not taken no mess. I love you and miss you so much, you were my reason for everything. I promise you, I will stay right with GOD, nothing will stop me from seeing you again!! I was ready to go when you left. I know it was GODS will, but is doesnt take away the pain. I will be there, I promise.
Until then, I LOVE YOU SON.

Although it's difficult to accept and we know God makes no mistakes.
You have no idea the impact you had in many lives. Your Legacy is Awesome!
You were a Beautiful Son,a Great nephew,a wonderful cousin, and a Loving grandson.

Moose...you are certainly loved and missed. I hope you are not getting into too much trouble in Heaven. I'm sure Grandpa is making sure you don't do too much damage. I miss your smile all the times you walked into Grandma's and said "Tinik, I didn't know you were here!" as you hugged me and sniffed my face...lol. I miss laughing at the times you would hold Anthony down and lick his fat cheeks when he was little. l think of you often and remember all the crazy things you said or did, like the time you tried to teach Donna to crump...hilarious! Cousin, I miss you and love you lot's. I learned so much more about you the day of your service. You packed a HUGE church with people who's lives you had touched...you squeezed a lot of goodness into your 19 short years with us. You are truly an angel.
Uncle Vincent...I just want to tell you that you are such a beautiful example of a father, uncle, brother, son and so much more. Thank you for taking on so many roles in our family. Even during such a difficult time you have continued to be a light for us. Please know how much you are loved and that it is my prayer that God's grace and peace continues to cover you. Thank you for your strength and your faith.
I love you more than you know.
Brenda...your unwavering faith has been an example to me. Thank you for being such a strong believer. Continue to let the Lord lead you through the grief. You are in my prayers.
May God Bless You All,

Holland "fat fat", I appreciate the fact that I was fortunate to have had you in my life. I'm happy to know that you asked about me and how I was doing shortly before your passing. I need you and I love you to the moon and back. Your mothers and angel and I look up to her as I looked up to you. She has all of those sons but she need more daughters. :] Your so lucky to have spent Christmas with Christ. We always said " I'm going to make it to the top before you then help you get there". Who would've know you were talking about Heaven? I guess You were right. I send my condolences to the family and friends. P.S. I don't look like bambii fatty hahah

Vincent, Brenda, and Ed,
Our prayers are with your family during this difficult time. Holland has been called home to be with his father, and I know that he will be missed. Although we were neighbors for a short time, I know that our paths crossed for a reason. Both Kelly and I will always remember Holland.

Our deepest sympathy to the family in the passing Holland. Brenda, our family will be praying for you and your family. This death will not be easy for you but because you believe in the All Mighty, you will make it through. Please take time to grieve your your loss, but spend some of the time remembering all of the good times you had with your son. Remember that when Christ returns, the dead shall be the first to rise and that Holland will be in that number. I know you can't wait to see him again. We love you.
