As parents we never expect to see a child laid to rest. It is during these times we ask God why? Take comfort in knowing that God's plan for Tola was complete. Tola served the lord well and his reward now is to walk with God in heaven.

Adam, you will not remember me but I worked for your father in 1973-74. My prayers are with you all in this time of sorrow and pain.

Tola was a blessed child. He touched hearts where ever he went. I am his Aunt Jabrea. I was also one of his best friends. It hurts me to see him leave. But atleast I know that he is in a better place. I send my heart, prayers, and love to my family and friends!

Although there are few words that one can say to help ease your sadness and loss, please know that prayers are being said for all of you to help you through this difficult time.

Due to the circumstances, we were not able to obtain flights to attend Tola's "going home" service. We will try to visit with you all soon.

Dear Adam, Tasha, & Ayanna,

Our hearts and prayers go out to you and your family. "Tola" had such a sweet & innocent spirit (and he could clean up better than any 60 year old homemaker)! Tasha and Adam, you did a wonderful job raising him while he was in your care. I know you are going to miss him, but he is with God now. I thank God for the opportunity to know and love Tola! May God bless you and keep you in His loving arms!

Dear Tasha,

I hope you remember me from working with you at the Department of Elections. I just want to express my deepest concern for you and your family amidst such a trying time. Do know that God has a purpose in all that He does, even when we as humans do not immediately understand. He has brought home with Him an angel who will be a guardian for you and your loved ones, and with whom you will surely reunite in the wonderful kingdom of Heaven. Be blessed, my sister.

With love,

We sincerely offer our deepest sympathy during this difficult time. It seems so unfair for life to end before completing our journey, however some are called to complete them in heaven.

TO THE FAMILY,

Amir and I were in the 4th grade together at the SU Lab School. We often talked. The thing I remembered the most about him was he was not afraid to die. He knew JESUS long time ago, which remind me of what my mother always say, "WE LOVE OUR LOVE ONES VERY MUCH, BUT GOD LOVE THEM MORE." I am going to miss him, but most of all he is well with JESUS, smiling that beautiful smile. I thank GOD for the precious time we had. May GOD continue to comfort you at this time and always.

LOVE,

RE'SHONSI AND FAMILY
