TO WIPIN TEARS OFF THE FACE OF MISERY WHEN SATISFACTION HAS WON....
TO TELLIN YOUR 2ND MIND YOU GONE STICK WITH YOUR FIRST...
KNOWING HOW TO BLESS AND LAUGH OVER A CURSE...
FIGURE OUT HOW TO STAND STRONG WHEN YOUR LEGS ARE TOO WEAK...
LOVIN SOMEONE WHO HAS PAINED SO MUCH THROUGHOUT THEIR HEARTS DAILY LEAKS...
FIGHTING WHEN A STRUGGLE IS KILLING YOUR SOUL AND INVADING THE HELPLESS MIND....
ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS TO GO FORWARD AND NEVER REWIND...
TO KNOW YOU HAVE TO START FROM THE BOTTOM TO GET TO THE TOP....
TELLING THE BIRDIES THAT THEY MEAN NO GOOD SO THEY CAN GO FLOCK...
WATCHIN YOUR STEPS AHEAD OF YOU AND NEVER THE CLOCK...
DEFENDING THE DEFENDLESS AND TO HELP RICHEN THE POOR...
IS THE PATH THAT I CHOSE WHEN I CLOSED THE DEVILS DOOR....

ON BEHALF OF YOUR LOVING MOTHER
August 25, 2008
Sitting here remembering, the smile upon your face and how it made the world light up. You were full of heavenly grace. No longer can i see your face, for you are with God above but your loving smile will always be tucked in my heart with love. I know you wouldn't want to see me crying the way I do but losing you was a part of me, and days I can't make it through Do you hear me crying? It's because somedays I'm down. I look aound for you but you're nowhere to be found. Only pictures now remain of you and special songs that meant so much. So if you hear me crying, It's because I cant feel your touch. My heart still aches in sadness and tears, Oh how they flow! What it meant to lose you no one will ever know. So if you hear me crying, It's something I cant control. Just understand my son , when I'm with you again I'll be whole. I love and miss you my child, BIG D

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

To Big-D
You the person who always looked out fa meand God took you away,
I know im not supposed to question God but I asked why couldnt u stay?
I remember when i got that phone call and I prayed it wasnt true,
Apart of me was gone I thought why couldnt he take me too?
I miss your smile...
I miss you callin my name
Its hard for me to let go
Things just aint the same
No matter what people say your my big brother and will always be
I was always apart of you
And your apart of me
I just hope you restin bro
Letting your mind be at peace
You have no worries now
No stressin about these streets
They say your baby on the way
I wish you could be here too
Everthing happens for a reason
Now we have apart of you
I LOVE YOU BIG-D
So until we meet again
Watch over me bro
We brother and sister till the end!
-Always your lil sis Janet

To my big brother Big-D im sittin hear on New Years Eve thinking of all the fun times we shared in 2007 and how i wish you could be here with me in 2008.I think about you everyday big bro and all the nice things you have done for me over the years and i still shed a tear when i want to talk to you and you dont answer your phone but you know what? After i cry i smile about all the "good times" we had and i remind myself that you are at peace and have no worriations. Most of all i know that you would want us to "Ease Up" because what is done is done...because you have already made your mark in our hearts.R.I.P Big Bro and watch over us in 2008
-Love You Always and Forever
