Ken, Andrea, KJ,

I love you guys and I am so sorry in your loss. I heard from Ken about Kendra's passing but unfortunately I was out of town during her services.

You guys will be in my prayers as you heal as a family. I know from experience and my faith..God will not put on you more than you can take and fortunately you have each other for support. We can only take peace in knowing one day there will be a heck of a Myer's Family Reunion in a much better place than we exist now.

You guys are such a great family! Please give each other a big hug for Coach Burt. You are in my thoughts.

Kendra,
This is Auntie Theresa saying hey fish. I am still in awh over this entire thing and I must say I am in denial! I can remeber some 19 years ago when you were born, wow a girl and she is cute too. There was nothing that I as a auntie would not do for you from driving 5 to 6 hours to hand bring your birthday gifts to picking you up to bring you to Fort Myers for the weekend and taking you back almost like a weekend pass.
You were and will always be my 1st child! Over the years we became very close I think I even referred to you as my daughter to those I introduced you too. I just can't believe it's all over now. I still have moments when I wait for your call or text asking me"Auntie what you doing". I have the "TINKERBELL" Wal-mart gift card too.
Kendra the life you lead was full of just that LIFE and those who knew you or even heard about you knew that you lived life to the fullest I must say I commend you for having been the person you are it didn't matter what hand you were dealt in life Baby Girl YOU PLAYED IT! That's my girl you get it from your AUNTIE.... We all need to learn something from that. Tyra is setting here as I write this and she is sad but I know you would say something like "Tyra whatcha cryin fo suck it up" and then the arguing would began... I know ya. Guest what me and Uncle Tim went out Sat. (say what) you see us. Well Baby Girl I gotta go. I'll talk to you later.

Ken, Andria, Alycia & KJ
We may not talk on a regular basis but know I Love You and this is only temporary we WILL see Kendra again!

Oh my gosh I cant believe I am writing you under these circumstances. It's hard for me to even realize what happend. I know you in Heaven smiling down on me. However, it's still hard to realize that you are really gone. I know we had our ups and downs but the love we had for each other out weighed all of that. I miss you like crazy. It was so hard for me to talk to Ary when she would ask where you at. Never the less she realizes that you are in the sky and that you want her to do good in life. Chuck misses you like crazy. Yall two were one of kind with each other. Girl I finally got me a tatoo after all these years..........LOL. I know you will like it. It's a crown with angel wings and your name LaLa with stars around it. It's real cute it's kind of similar to the one on your back. I guess I will write you later because this is real hard for me to do and I can't stop my eyes from watering through this note I am typing to you. I love you girl and will always miss you. Your Awi Safawi loves you so much she sometimes be having conversations with you on the phone. Chuck aka ears aka wayne head and all the other goofey names you had for him misses all of the cracking yall did with each other. Girl I gotta go missing you just came on the radio and now I am truthfully crying like crazy at work mmmmuuuuuuuuuaaaaaahhh!!!!!!!! RIP LaLa

Hey Baby girl I miss you so much girl I'm going to miss talking to you on the phone. we been friends since we were little and youand me use to have sleep overs together we have so many memories like when we worked at burlington our senior year of high school and we use to always get in trouble for laughing and talking the whole day!! i even remember when we were in middle school and we had our tweety bird book were we wrote back and forth to each other about the boys we liked and the girls we didnt we were a trip sis! oh yea remember our freshman year of college when you always wanted me to stay in your dorm room cause your roomate decided not to come and we use to clean our room while listening to beyonce and rick ross lol!!!! those were the days I cant even start to imagine you not being around or just a phone call away it's going to be hard here with out you to make me laugh, but I know that god doesnt make mistakes and you are looking down on us watching over us! the crew is incomplete without your loving smile and contagious laugh. you dont have to worry about being forgotten because you will live on thru all of us all the memories that we have will forever be in my heart were sisters forever girl!!!! I thank god for allowing me to have such a special person in my life for so many years!!!


To the Myers family, I love all of you as well stay strong we will all get through this together day by day.

April 11, 2008 As I'm sitting on the bus on my way to tallahassee to meet up with the rest of the crew so we all can be together, ride to Jacksonville & attend ur funeral service tomorrow I'm still in complete shock. I'm still waiting to get a text saying "hey cuzn" or "babygurl that's u." God doesn't make any mistakes, and for that we all have to know & understand that you are where you're suppose to be...up in heaven, @ the Lord's side & probably teaching everyone up there the Mississippi Slide because you LOVED that dance since high school. From the 1st day I met you freshman year, you called me cuzn because Le'Andre & I were dating. & ever since then the name just stuck. I remember when that boy came into student affairs & asked what my name was & you were the one who answered & said "her name is cuzn cuz that's my cuzn now leave her alone." From tripping out in student affairs with Jarvis & Ms. Ford, to the midnite trip from Jacksonville to Tally then to Gville, to us making everyone mad on the bus when they were trying to sleep after grad-nite, the fun weekends in tallahassee even though I was suppose to be @ UF, snapping pictures every chance we got, to just always laughing because of something you said or did....those are just a few of the memories that will forever be in my heart. Our click won't be the same without you there to do something to make us bust out laughing, but its a greater honor to know that you'll be our personal angel watching over us in everything that we do. An angel on earth who has become an angel amongst the heavens.

To the Myers Family: Although she has left us physically, she will always be here spiritually. She's seated at God's right hand watching over you all. Just know that Kendra truly touched each & everyone of our lives & even complete strangers. We're going to miss her personality, love, character & especially that smile. I pray & ask God for peace & understanding. Kendra, cuzn, my friend...I LOVE YOU ALWAYS & FOREVER! You touched my life greatly & were very important to me. Although you aren't here for me to talk to, I know you're watching over all of us...still with that great big smile on your face.

Rest in Peace BabyGurl & see you when I get there so we all can do the Mississippi Slide! Love you & you're forever in my heart...XOXOXOXO

Andria,
When our Father gives us the earthly opportunity to guide one of his very own, it is so difficult for those of us left behind when he calls them back to his heavenly fold. What a comfort to know that she is in his loving arms, basking in the Realms of Glory and I am also sure that if you listen when all that is human has silenced, you will hear him say to you..."Well done, my good and faithful servant. You have returned to me a Treasure."

My heart is heavy for you and your family at this time..

Kendra,
It is sooo hard for me even be sitting here writing this message. I never imagined that this day would come so soon. I still have yet to fully come to grips with all of it, but I do know you are in a better place. We have been friends for so many years and it's hard to picture life without you. You would call me everyday and we would talk for hours about any and everything. I am still waiting for you to call me, so we can laugh and trip out like we always do. I will never forget what you would say when I would answer, "I am sick of you.." It hurts so bad and I just want you to know that I love you bestfriend with all of my heart. I miss you more and more each day, but I know that we will see each other again someday. Heaven truly has an angel in its presence and I know you are looking down on us saying, "B-A-B-Y" Until we meet again, hold it down for me...LOVE YOU!

If there is anything that could ease your pain in this time of sorrow, it should be that you know she is looking down on us smiling, laughing and saying something goofy. She was one of the students that I often thought of when I was on my way to the band room. I knew the minute I walked in she would say something crazy or just do something to brighten up my day. Kendra has a beautiful soul and I can't wait to hug here again when I get to that wonderful place.

I am so sorry about your loss. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

The sorrow of the faithful
is not that of permanent loss,
but the tender sense of sadness
that comes in saying good-bye for now
to someone we love.
May today's sorrow give way
to the peace and
comfort of God's love.

Love Always

A man’s heart plans his way, but
the Lord directs his steps. May the
grace of God continue to guide and
keep you in your time of sorrow.

Andria,
My prayers are with you and your family at this time.
Little Did We Know
Little did we know that morning that God would call you name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone.
For part of us went with you the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide.
And though we cannot see you, you are always on our side.
Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To the family of Kendra Myers:
I didn't know Kendra personally, but I felt like I did. I've heard so many wonderful stories of her through her Auntie Mary Cooper. I am a close friend of Mary's and the family. My deepest sympathy goes out to the entire family for your precious lost. I pray that you will find comfort in all the beautiful memories you have of Kendra. I know she will be truly missed, but she's in a better place now. May God Bless and keep each of you.
