May GOD be with you in your time of sorrow. May you have comfort in knowing that GOD is in control and he is too wise to make a mistake and too just to do wrong. Cherish the memories that you shared with Motor, becasue those memories will get you through this rough time. Always remember that GOD will never put more on you than you can bare.

Love,

I first met Motor at Raines High School where he was known as a class clown. I was in complete shock when a friend told me about the lost of this wonderful young man. I think everyone knew him has a loving and funny person. Motor was the type of person if he saw you at the store he would buy your items for you and make you laugh at the same time. I will really miss him and I want his family to know that he had a beautiful spirit.

May God bless the entire family.

May God comfort all the family and friends, knowing that God is your source and strength. I only spoke with Motor on a few occassions, but from those few instances I knew he was a loving, caring, compassionate young man who was loved by many. He will be missed.

Mrs Martha and Family,

Know that you are in our prayers during this difficult time. I remember Motor when he was a little man when the family stayed on Trenton. During his young adult life, he returned to Trenton with his grandmother. I had no idea who he was when he started coming to my mom's house to visit my nephew Bernard until my nephew told me that was Annette, Robin and Wanda's little brother. Boy had he grown. These last years, he just became a part of our family. Anytime I visited the old neighborhood I would always see Motor.

Cleveland Road neighborhood will not be the same, especially Trenton Dr.

Family stay strong! Remember: Weeping may endure for a moment, but joy does come in the morning.
