To the White/Walton Family I would like to extend my deepest condolences. Although I have not had much contact with Michael in over 20 years, his children are my cousins. Children, as old as I am I can't imagine what it is to lose your father. Take this time to not only lean on each other but trust God because in your most quiet time, he is always there and remember we as your family are here. May God comfort you during this difficult time.

To Marie, Danielle, Ollie, & Na'eem,

It seems like it was only yesterday, that you all looked at Meleek and wanted him stay. But that was not going to happen that day, Because God wanted him more and took him away. Your love, compassion, devotion, cares for many years. Missing him, loving him will not stop the tears. No more sickness and suffering for your Dear Lameek, He beared his Crossed; peace is now his to keep. He looked and felt all the love and concern that was humanly yours to give, That is what gave him that incredible will to live. But at that same time, he wanted you'd to have a peace of mind, He knew, it was just a matter of time. He tried with all his might, to keep that up hill fight, He fought a courageous fight, but then he seen in the darkest of night a bright and shining glittering light. God whispered in his ear, and said, my son I want you to, come near. God gave him refuge and wings, and he took his flight. For him it's "good morning." For you it's "good night." Dedication, tenderness, unconditional love without fear, Because of that, The Lord kept him near. His body you no longer see, his voice you no longer hear, But his love and presents is near and dear. Memories will make you laugh, cry sadden and sustain you. Talking, remembering and sharing when you have nothing else to do, But it is God's love that will see you through. And like you took good care of Lameek, God will take good care of you. Never let anyone tell you not to cry, You love this man, and you now have to say good-bye. I believe God gave us, the ability to make a tear, And God's not going to give us, no more than we can bear. You gave him tender loving care, you were always there, Day and night, seven day a week 24/7, Meleek has his wings, he is now in Heaven. He was many things to you on this earth, He is now reborn, he has a new birth. He is an Angel in flight, He now looks upon you both day and night. He knew that he had a "family," that love him so much, He felt it by just, a kind word, gesture or touch. You need no florist to try and sell em, You gave him his flowers while he could smell them. And I can see him now; up there in heaven and feeling good, Knowing that his family did the very best they could. I hope you can put, your trust in the Lord to see you through. Like God takes good care of Lameek, God loves and cares for you too.
Humbly & loving Submitted,
Your Friend,
Pat "Pat Fat" Bowles
