Darius Athey Memoriam

In Memory of DARIUS ATHEY This year has been very rough because I have been missing you so much. I still cannot believe that you are not here with us. With every breath I take, every place I go and everything I see, I am reminded of you! Even though you left us so suddenly and I wasn't prepared for you to go, I trust and believe God was not surprised and he wanted you to come on home to be with him. You are safe in his arms now. I will miss you always son. Grandma will miss you and all of your friends and family will miss you. Until we meet again. Continue to look over us and keep us safe. Love, Mom, Grandma and Aunt Shavon

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.

A whole year has passed yet it doesnt seem like the pain will ease up! As humans we always have a tendency of "wishing you back" but you are truthfully in a better place with a more important job to do! A whole year has passed yet the memory of how your smile could light up a room hasnt faded and puts a smile on my face eveverytime I think of you...which is more often than one can imagine! Keep smiling down on us and giving your mom strength! I love you and miss you but memories can never be taken away! Love, Malika

I was shocked to see this and I didnt know..I'm so sorry.and I will always remember Darius's smile, and his quiet nature. He knew me as Mrs Gibson at Mt Vernon Middle school. May The peace of god surround you and your family..
