I can't believe it's been a month. It is still hard to acknowledge that you are gone! My heart goes out to everyone who loved you and I wish I had a chance to meet you cause I know that I would have loved you as my own son. One day we all will meet and until then...

REST IN PEACE knowing that you have touched many lives and that you will continue to live forever in our hearts!

Delvin, you will be missed...

Delvin - How can I explain the pain of your loss? I lost a son on 3/19/05. I miss your smile that lit up the room, your voice on the phone - Ma, can you come get me? Ma, can I come over? Ma, can we talk, etc. But I know you're still with me because I hear your voice talking to me almost every day. I can't tell you how much it meant to me when your Mom introduced me to your Dad in Ohio as your second mom, and when the girls were behind me, as your second family. Because you were FAMILY AND WILL ALWAYS BE. As you know, I used to write poems. I have not written one in years, so I am dedicating the following old poem to you:

The last time there was a happy smile on your face

How could we know we'd never again see your beautiful face?

We will live our lives missing you forever

For we will never again spend time together.

The last time, when we said goodbye

How could we know you were going to die?

The memory of that time will be with us always

Your last happy smile we would see for the rest of our days.

I will keep you in my prayers forever, I will keep Ronnette in my prayers forever.

I LOVE YOU DELVIN, AND MAY GOD BE WITH YOU.

Hey "lil Delvy",

It's Brooke.When i first heard bout what happened i just broke down because it happened so fast and sudden.and it breaks my heart cuz i can remember the last time i saw you we were all chillin watchin movies and crackin on each other.when i think bout you i see your smile that went from ear to ear and your funny jokes that always had me rollin(even when they were bout me) i am at the same time upset and mad at the fact that someone would take a life that was so dear to many people. i considered you my brother, you were always there and promised to always have my back and i thankyou for that. it also broke my sisters heart(nichole) when she found out what happened, its like she is a totally different person now that you're gone but she knows that she has responsibilities with taking care of the new baby Delvin. he is going to be as smart and funny and cute and is going to have the same smile that you had which was addictive. "lil Delvy" i will forever miss you but will never forget you.U will always have a place in my heart and you will always be my third brother! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! Also to the family of delvin, my heart goes out to you all and i pray that God will bring you all happiness, hold strong and know that through it all you will find comfort!

Love,

Brookie

Delvin,

I barely knew you, in fact I don't think I ever said more than two words to you but it still saddens me that someone so young is gone without really having a chance to experience the good things in life.

My daughter, Antonette, loved you and you gave me a wonderful grandson and for those things I'm grateful. Don't worry, Moneice and I will do everything in our power to take care of him and 'Nette for you.



To the family, stay strong and we'll keep you in our prayers. There have got to be better days ahead.



Love,

I will never forget your smile.When ever I opened the door and you were standing there, no matter how I felt, just seeing that smile on your face brought a smile to mine. You were just like one of my children when you would come to my home.It just wont be the same not seeing you and Will together any more.Im sorry you are gone but your spirit will forever live on. I will miss you Delvin but I know you are with God and you are safe now.I love you and miss you very much. Your other Momma,

Hold on to the good memories for the good will always out weigh the bad. The song writer wrote I've had some good days and I've had some hills to climb, I have had some weary days and some sleepless nights, but when I look around and I think things over all of my good days out weigh my bad days and I won't complain. My prayers are with you and your family.

Lydia Green

March 24, 2005

To the family: May God comfort your heart make you strong so you can continue to carry on. Look to the hills from which cometh your strenght you strength will come from God. (Delvin no child is perfect but you were always repectful to me and was there in my darkest hour with that pretty smile I will indeed miss you son). Lydia I love you Ronnete and Family

To My friend Delvin (Bleek)

Its going to be very hard to be in this world without a friend like you. It is sad because my friend is gone. I will miss the play fights and the picking around that we always did. You will always be miss and never forgotten. I will see on the other side when I get there. Homies for life. Your friend for life. Dana

Ronette, I've known you for most of my life. We met in the 6th grade and I was never at a loss for words,

until now. As a mother I can't even begin to imagine what you are feeling, but as a friend for over 20 years my heart aches for you. Delvin will be missed by all who knew him and remember God knows what is best for us.I know that you will see your Delvin on the other side.

I'm praying for you and your family,

God will see you through.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not to thine own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Proverbs 3:5-6



To the Family of Delvin Spencer:



I was saddened to hear about the passing of Delvin. He spent much time in my home in his middle school years when my son would invite his friends over for sleepovers. I will remember Delvin fondly and his smile, as beautifully contagious as it was, will be missed.



May the precious memories of your dear loved one comfort you at this difficult time.



With deepest sympathy and Christian love.

Delvin I don't know what to say when Logahn called and told me I was in shock, I couldn't believe it so I looked in the news paper and saw it for myself. You were like a little brother to me. I remember how all of us first met in Cloverleaf Mall (lol!). Those were the good times. You will be greatly missed by all of us. Angie, Mia, Me and esp. Logahn. Words can express how I feel, I just know I can't believe your gone. Your were so young, and the day before it happened I was just thinking about you and remembering how it used to be and how we all used to be on three-way talking late at night and you know we were not supposed to be on the phone. All of the crazy things. Dontae keep your head up baby boy, it's going to be alright. To the family I express my deepest condolences to you, our thoughts and prayers are with you.



Rest in Piece Baby Brother we will miss you.



"It's so hard to say good-bye to yesterday"



We love you, Sharreese, Angie, Mia and Logahn.

Delvin will be greatly missed. My prayers and thought are with the entire family. We all go way back, and when I first met Delvin he was a silly cute 13 year old who even though he was younger than me I couldn't help but love. After meeting the family I felt like I had became one of them and would be one of them always no matter what, so to the family Mom, Zippy, and everyone else I know it's hard but please be strong, you know he's in a better place now, where the angels are welcoming him in song. Delvin was truly loved but both his family and friends. When I heard about this I went into shock i could'nt believe my little Delvin was gone. I just started thinking about how his smile could make me smile even when I was mad at him, how we used to play fight all the time, the places we went together, all of the little things, and how I will never forget him. I will always love him no matter what, and he will always be in my heart. He always asked me to sing for him, so when I found out I started singing the following song by destiny's child..."It's too far, it's too fast, it's too quick it wont last, it's not right but it's not wrong, there's no time, move along, now I come much too far and I know what's in my heart and I know what feel, I can tell when it is real, my time has come" It made me realize that his time had come and I just have to keep the wonderful memories I have of him alive. Once again may God bless this family and keep them.

And if anyone of them needs to get in contact with me they are more than welcome to e-mail me with there number and I will call them asap.



Rest In Piece Delvin Terell Spencer, my smiling ray of sunshine, I love you!

Hey Delvin, it's your sister Bre..Man, I don't know what to say. This is so hard, I never thought that I would have to do this. I love you so much, and I still can't believe you are gone. I still hear your laugh, and I still see your beautiful smile. Words can't explain how I feel right now. Im so caught between feelings, Im so sad but Im very mad. This wasn't suppose to happen, you was supposed to grow old with me. You wasn't just a friend to me, you was FAMILY, you was my brother. I remember all the times that we spent together, everyday. I just wish they wasn't taken from me so quick and sudden. We have been tight since the sixth grade. Whenever I had problems, you was the first one there for me, and I thank you for that D. It just hurts me so bad that the last time you came to my house and called me, was the last time I was going to hear from you. I want you to know that I love you more than anything, and Im going to take care of Derrell, and Dontae. My mommy and Auntie Shelia wants you to know that they love you too! Mrs. Ronnette, and Melvin..I am so sorry, I can't say that you will be alright, but things are going to get better. As long as we take it one day at a time. Delvin, not a day is going to go by when I don't think of you..You are forever in my heart and once again I love you so much. Take care brah brah, and like I told Maurice, ya'll hold it down up there, and it's not goodbye, It's I will see you later.



"Life ain't always what it seem to be..Words can't express what you mean to me..Even though you're gone we still a team..Thru your family I'll fulfill your dreams..In the future can't wait to see,if you'll

Open up the gates for me..Reminisce sometime the night they took my friend..Try to black it out, but it plays again..When it's real feelings hard to conceal..Can't imagine all the pain I feel..Give anything to hear half your breath..I know you still living your life after death"



Delvin..we love you, R.I.P!



Love all your sisters- Brittney, Whitney, Courtney, Tiffany, Nene.
