DJ,
Just woke up out of my sleep and the first person on my mind was your mother ,Ms./Aunt Geraldine. Know that I check on her from time to time and pray for her daily. Justin keeps me up to date with your little princess Aria. She is a beautiful and happy baby and your family is doing an excellent job with her. My prayer will always be that they find comfort and peace in their loss. Please continue to watch over them all as well as "My Justin". You are missed.

Baby Bro, It's almost been a year since you left us. It has been so hard I think about you all day everyday. The pain is still here, I have never felt pain like this since Papaw left us. I thought losing him was unbearable, but losing you has turned my life upside down. Foy was only able to stay 2 weeks after the funeral, so it has been hard not to have someone here to support me. Bro. Aria is sooo cute, she looks just like you. When I first held her she started saying DADDAD, I told her to tell you I said Hi and I miss you. I so hated to tell the kids that you were gone, they so Loved you they always talk about you. You know Lil Miss Aria, will never have to want,need or ask for anything. She will be taken care of til the day I die. Well Baby Bro Happy Birthday. I ask that you and Papaw continue to watch over all of us.
Love You Uncle Dj

Aria & Uncle Justin

Evette Martinez

April 22, 2012

Thought about you today DJ. Actually I think of you often. You are dearly missed but constantly remembered for all the laughter you brought into many lifes. Your baby girl is soooo smart. She lacks nothing as all of your family and friends see to it that she wants for nothing. She had her first Easter Egg hunt with Justin and Tiauna this year. Did you get your balloon...well it's on the way. Justin was scared to hold her when she was born. She was so fragile to him. Now? You can't keep him away from her. He's so comfortable and gentle with her. They even sleep together. You'd be straight clowning him but he's great with her, you'd be proud. Now Tiauna....man she's all over it! She has more pics of Aria on her facebook page then herself. Aria is definitely a fashionista! She even knows how to pose for the camera! She has this one look where she cuts her eye's at you as if to say..j*gga I know ya'll talkn bout me! It's almost scary cause she knows exactly when to do it. Anyway DJ, please continue to watch over your family and protect "My Justin". Please comfort him as he has a hard time every know and again. I pray that his joy soon over shadows his pain. You are missed

Janet Wooten/Long

August 21, 2011

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
