Pooh & Michelle,
God only lends us his angels for just a little while, and little Marquis was truly an angel, I know he is in heaven looking down on you both and smiling, when the sun shine, that's Marquis telling you that he's always with you, so be strong. God bless you and the rest of your family.

Hey Poo, I hope this message reaches you in the best of health and spirits. You know that even though we dont see each other as often as we used to there is no love lost. When I heard the news I was in disbelief myself, it caught me completely off gaurd. I cried just as though it was one of my own, so I cant imagine your pain. I can remember just like yesterday that we were small children playing together. I know that your son was so precious and dear to you. Remember that anything that we loose on this earth God will fully restore it to us again. This is only temporary I know that you will see your handsome son again. God is keeping him extremely close to him. Watching over him day in and out. He's rejoicing and dancing in the cloulds waiting to unite with his loved ones. I will continue to pray for you and your family. I hope that this will bring encouragement and lift your spirits. Rest in the peace of God.

Pooh, I DID NOT KNOW YOU. BUT YOUR SISTER MEKA AND I ATTENDED ARMSTRONG TOGETHER. WHEN I WAS ASKED TO SING JESUS SPOKE TO ME AND SAID THAT THE SONG WAS TO BE MINISTERED TO YOU DIRECTLY. GOD IS LOOKING OVER YOU. IN FACT HE KNEW YOUR END FROM THE BEGGENING. EVEN THOUGH ITS HARD JUST REMEMBER THAT TO BE ABSENT FROM THE BODY IS TO BE PRESENT WITH THE LORD. GOD BLESS

Poo, I haven't had a chance to speak to you since this has happen. I can only imagine what you are going thru. Marquis was my son's "partner in crime" and he would certainly be missed by the both of us. I know it's going to be hard but stay strong and just know God had a different plan for Marquis. He is now an angel watching over all of us. You are in my prayers and my deepest condolences goes out to you, Marcus and your entire family.

TO The Winston Family:
I do not know you, but when I saw the news, I was hurting for you. It is so sad to lose a young life and very painful. My prayer for you and your family is that through this death you will be drawn closer to God then ever before. He is the only one who will see you through this. So please get to know Him personly. Life can catch you off guard. It can feel like a raging strom that you have to battle alone. But you are never without power. Your constant supply of eternal love and energy is only a prayer away. May you connect with Gods love and let the healing begin.
"Casting all your cares upon Him; for he careth for you. 1Peter 5:7

Mecole and Family,
Our condolences goes out to you all. We can't say we know what you are going through because we haven't lost a child that's so innocent and young. All we know is GOD does everything for a reason and only He will understand.
You all will be kept in our prayers and GOD will lift you and carry you through these tough times you are having to deal with right now. Your baby boy is looking down on you right now and always remember that you are not alone.

My heart goes out to that childs family, especially his mother. Words can't express what you must be going through in this difficult time; but I feel your pain. I went through the same thing two years ago with my son. I lost him to an act of violence, and he was only one years old. I know how it feels to loose your baby, when they have such a young promising life. I'm not saying it's going to be easy, but put your faith in God, and he shall see you through.

Just know that have a lot of support from those who only know you from the news but are praying for you because God is our father.
May His Grace and Mercy rain peace and blessing on you and your family.

To the Winston Family:
You don't know me and I don't know you personally. I just felt in my heart that I had to write. My family and I live around the street from you. My sons might have played with Marquis and I might have passed you by. But when I heard this story, something in my heart told me I had to send these words to you and your family.
I would like say that my heart goes out to your family. I hope that you would trust God and look to him in your time of sorrow. He is the only one now who can heal your heart. I hope that you find peace in him and know that he loves us all. My God be with you and your family.
