Stephanie,



It was heartbreaking to hear of the loss of your son. I will always remember his smiling face every time he came to House of Roz. He is now an angel in the kingdom of God doing his work. Although we know this; it will not take away the hurt and pain you are feeling now, just remember God will take care of you. He will give you the strength you need to get through this difficult time.

My God, When I heard the news from Rick my heart dropped. To know your son died at such a young age it really made me realize this could happen to any one. I want you to know that I prayed with out ceasing for your son and had other people praying also. Always remember this too shall soon pass. When it seems to get hard for you Just Call on the name of the Lord. Seek His face and you shall find. Your son is in a better place, and God want to see you there too. So except Him now as your Lord and you too shall be saved. Much love.

To Malik's Family,



Continue to cherish the wonderful memories that you have of Malik. God needed such a special angel as he. May you find comfort in knowing that he is resting in the bossom of God. Look to the hills from which cometh your help, for all of your help cometh from the Lord.



In everything, just remember that "weeping may endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning." I pray that "in the morning", God will provide you with the understanding and the strength to endure.



God Bless

Dear Day/Leake Family:

On behalf of the staff and students at E.S.H. Greene Elementary School we would like to extend our sincere sympathy on the loss of your precious son. He will be remembered fondly for being the sweet and lovable little boy who captured the hearts of many teachers, staff, and students during his years at Greene. Malik was truly a shining star known greatly for his daily comeback phrases such as "Are you being sarcastic?" "Do you like my cologne?" Rest peacefully sweet angel and may your family find comfort knowing you are with God.



Love,
