I miss you. I miss you so much! I don't want to sound selfish but I still question "WHY?" I know we're not suppose to question, but "Why you?" Brains, beauty and inspirational. Those are only a few words to describe you. I want to pick you up and just DRIVE! Talk and laugh about everything like we always did. I love when people walk past my curio cabinet and ask "Wow, is this your sister!" My face just lights up and your voice taps my spirit. I miss you so much, Meechie. My ANGEL in Heaven! I will ALWAYS hold you near and dear. Until we meet again. I LOVE YOU, MEECH!

Hi Meechie, living life without your presence hasn't been easy...days into weeks...weeks into months... months into years...and years turned into 5yrs. Life keeps moving, as time waits for no one, u knew that that's why u lived your life to the fullest, making ur dreams & goals come true along the way...as your family was always waiting for the next accomplishment, so that we could live it out with you. Thanks for your passion and leaving a legacy for the young ones in the family to look up to, my Mello knows you, loves you and has a role model to look up to, Thank you....love you to the moon and back....until we meet again...Auntie

Hey meech at work bored can't stop thinking about you. I'm turning 26 next month I'm bless and grateful to make it to 26 but I sure do wish you was here. I still have dreams about you mostly good and sum I just see you on that hospital bed wishing I could do something to save you. At 25 I feel like I'm a few steps behind in my life I ask myself what am I doing wrong I thought I did everything right in my life so far sure I made sum bad mistakes but its people out here that done worst but living fine I just don't get it. But the more and more I pray go to church and keep my faith I know the lord and you have a vision for me I'm just to blind to see it right now but I will open my eyes. Because I realize the storms don't break you they make you. I miss you so much feel so alone and out of this world at times only person I can depend on is my mother I don't know where I would be if she wasn't in my life. But I miss and cant thinking about you and I will talk to you tonight Love You Meechie Boo.

I miss and love you, Meech! I set the pic that you shot in black and white next to the television. D'Amber wears your shirt like it's a designer name brand. We'll never let you go. Didn't know I'd feel this way. Just wish I was more aware of what was going on. I was with you daily but didn't pay attention. I'm so sorry. God knows I am!

The loss of our loved ones, who are gone may be too painful to remember, but their lives are too precious to forget!

Their absences are like the sky, spread over everything.

If love could have saved them, they would live forever.

How very wonderfully they came into our world, in the moments they were with us, what a gift!
But what an imprint their footsteps have left upon our hearts.

Losing a child is like losing your soul. You may bravely face the world without your loved one, but, on the inside, you feel like you are dying, but hold on…. to life.

Some precious lives may last just for a moment, but our memories keep those moments lasting forever in our hearts.

Our loved ones may be gone but never forgotten, although we may not be together,their spirits live within us.

What we have once deeply loved and cherished, we can never lose, for all that we love deeply becomes a part of our souls.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a pathway, we would walk right up to heaven and bring them home again.

Denine, I pray for you and Doty always in my heart, and for all the people who loved Meechie during her life and pray for God to give you Beauty for your sorrow.

With Love,

Aunt DeLesa

Denine and Family....after recently losing two first cousins in less than two months I truly feel your pain....Heaven is an open door we ALL must go through .... some sooner than others - true that does not ease our pain BUT we serve a good God and he went throught it too! We all must strengthen our realtionship with God~ Jahvon Be Blessed on your Baptism for your eyes will have been opened and the healing will begin. Denine in time the pain will lessen you will never forget your beautiful baby girl praise God and give Thanks for the time you did spend with her and I pray those precious moments/memories and pictures get you through the rough times !!! God Bless you Denine

Hey meechie, It's boo your cousin/bro I know I haven't been on in awhile kind of hard to read this and still remain happy I try to remember you happy and that gorgeous smile you had. Lately I been going throw some up and downs in my life and I haven't really been myself but I realize I really haven't been myself since you past you was my best friend the person I went to besides my mother we use to talk every night when you got off work, you was suppose to come kick it the weekend you was in the hospital I lost my relationship with god at a point because I couldn't come to grips why he would take you from us so soon. I never really dealt with I was trying to be strong and not show the hurt but in all the hurt came down line because I never really dealt with it. The more and more I think about you the more I want my cousin back but even more my bestfriend but I know you in a better place watching me and you gave us a gift in my niece mello man she remind me of you and she know who you is which is beautiful, I love that little girl more than life itself me and my sister don't have the best relationship like you and Doty but she know I do anything for that girl. so lately I been trying to mend my relationship with god ask him for his forgiveness for losing my faith and becoming angry when you past and each day I feel myself getting back to how I use to be before I lost you but its go be one day at a time I wasn't happy with my life at all and it showed people start to tell me I'm not acting like myself but lately I been more happy and having more faith then ever and trusting the lord. On your birthday this 1/24/14 I will be getting baptized by our uncle Minister Justin Barnes in your shirt I got made its a celebration for you but also something I been wanting to do and get my life together in the right way family go be there and I know you will be there.

Denine,

I saw you last at your Grandmothers wake services last year after not seeing you for many many years. It was then you showed me your daughters picture and told me she died. I did not know the circumstances but sensed it was extremely difficult for you.

It seems like we are here on earth forever but really it's not ...in time you WILL be reunited with your Beautiful Beloved Meechie and then you can catch up like old girlfriends which then it will seem like eternity ! I can feel the Love for her as everyone continues to remember her and I only wished I had the chance to. There is no doubt in my mind as I look at her she reminds me of you as a little girl who grew up to be a beautiful woman whom you and your Mom can be very proud.

Heaven continues to replenish itself as it gives and takes from here so know that you will always have a Guardian Angel watching over you and yours !!!

Happy 29th Birthday Meechie!!! Wow it hurts me that I cant touch or call you and say"I'ts your Birthday girl!" I haven't seen you in 2 yrs, and I missed 3 of your Birthdays. I went out to your site last week, and it was sunny out that day...but this day was different, your stone and all your decorations had such a beautiful glow. It looked like some one poured a shiney gloss on your area... I've never seen anything like that before, ever. A few of yor aunts said that you were looking down on me that day, to let me know that your o.k. & that your with me at all times. I wish you could give me a sign so i would know your o.k. ... I miss and love you always... My pooh bear forever... Mommy

Hi Meechie, Happy Birthday. U dont know me, Im John your moms boyfriend... I hear a lot about you from your mom and how much she loves you. I wish I could take your moms pain away, but I know that I can't, but I will always be there for her.

Linda B.

January 24, 2012

Happy Birthday Meechie! I can only imagine how happy you would be today....we miss your smile, your sillyness & your love of life. Today is your day. Continue to shine your light down on us. Words cant express how much we love & miss you, just know that we do, you are out of site, but never out of mind,
much love for you Meechie.

Darlene Shelmon

December 23, 2011

Denine, My heart goes out to you still, cause I know the hurt, the pain, the sadness--- of losing a child. I realize that the circumstances are different because your daughter lived in Columbus and it is easy to imagine her being there. If you find yourself smiling, it's O.K. If you find yourself laughing that's O.K. too. You know your daughter and that's what she would want for you.

This thing called death is something that we can't go around, over nor under. We have to go through it with our heads held high, because I'm going to see my child again, I have to.

There is a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance.
Ecclesiastes 3:4

This is a poem that I ran across right after Keijuan went to be with the Lord. I have shared it with a lot of people. Denine don't think this is easy for me. I'm full just writing this letter. I miss my child deeply.

DEATH IS NOTHING AT ALL

I have only slipped away to the next room.
I am I and you are you.
Whatever we were to each other,
That, we still are.

Call me by my old familiar name.
Speak to me in the easy way
which you always used.
Put no difference into your tone.
Wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.

Laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me. Pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effect.
Without the trace of a shadow on it.

Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same that it ever was.
There is absolute unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?

I am but waiting for you.
For an interval.
Somewhere. Very near.
Just around the corner.
All is well.

My Girl, My Friend, My Cousin, My Sister! I'm looking at the last picture we took together and I'm still in disbelief. I visited your grave and I looked at your headstone with blurry eyes I stepped so lightly on the ground. ("You are not down there!") I know we are not suppose to ask the Lord "why" and I know I'm selfish for saying why not someone else. But I miss you so much. I just want you to call me one more time. Ask me what all to put in the greens and the blackeyed peas. Let me tell you how spoiled you are. Share our fashion and make-up tips. My heart will never let your spirit die. You are: My Girl, My Friend, My Cousin, My Sister! I love you, "Shining Star!"

Pooh-Bear,

It's been 2 years since your last words to me. On this day, November 11, 2009, you were in the hospital crying and scared. You said to me "Mommy, I love you. Are you coming down?" I said "Pooh-Bear, I love you too. Please hold on! I'm trying to get there."

My life will never be the same without you in it. I miss you sooooo much! I wish I could see and touch you again. I wish I knew you are ok. It still doesn't seem real that you're not here with us. It's unbelievable.

I LOVE YOU ALWAYS.... MOMMY

MEECHIE~

I'M MISSING YOU LIKE CRAZY, LIL SIS!! I REALIZED IT'S ALMOST YOUR BIRTHDAY AND I KEEP THINKING OF OUR LAST PLANS. IT'S 5:17 A.M. AND I CAN'T SLEEP. I STARTED READING YOUR ENTRIES AND I BEGAN TO CRY. SO MANY PEOPLE LOVE YOU! IF I CRY MYSELF BACK TO SLEEP I PRAY YOU COME TO ME LIKE YOU DID YOUR AUNTIE. I JUST WANT TO HEAR YOUR VOICE, SEE YOUR FACE AND HUG YOU. THEN I CAN CALL DENINE AND TELL HER HOW CUTE YOUR OUTFIT WAS! I COMPLAINED ABOUT YOUR BRATTY WAYS BUT KNOW I WAS A MAIN CONTRIBUTOR. YOU KNEW I WOULDN'T SAY NO. BUT THAT'S THE BENEFIT TO BEING MY SHINING STAR! I WAS CREATING A "MINI ME" WITH PERFECTION! TTYL! (MUAH!)

My Dearest Great Neice Meechie,
I am so glad that we learned to trust
one another and reconciled that fact to
each other. Thank you for your last
kiss. You matured into a "Beautiful
young lady and showed more maturity
than a lot of grown people we know.
You had the "good courage" that the
Bible refers too and you know that.
I know that you are entertaining the
Angels!!! I will see you again by
"Faith I say this. From Everlasting
to Eternity, Lovingly Your Great Aunt
Sonya!!!

Dear Demie, wow how times flies. It was only yesterday when you would call me and keep me up all night me phone as you would travel from state to state on trips. We would talk about everything from your modeling and me being your bodyguard/manager and I would protect you. Now Gods Angels are watching over you, I look forward to seeing you on that runway to heaven one day. I pray that God will comfort mom and your brother. Everytime ihat I think of you I will look towards the sun of your warmth of love and to the stars in the night for that twinkle in your eye. Love you much your family Big Tim Hood. Atlantic City NJ.

Demetria, a year has passed and I still cannot believe that you are gone. I thank God for the times that we were able to spend together. You may not know it, but you gave me a front row lesson on how to be a young woman who is about her business. Although your time here was short, you definately left behind a wonderful legacy. I will continue to carry you and this legacy with me everywhere I go. Love you!

Demetria I wish I could speak to you one more time. I want to tell you that I'm sorry! I'm sorry that I didn't hold a longer conversation with you that day you stopped by my airbrush shop to talk to me. It's really eating me up inside. I feel like you wanted to talk to me about something. I just keep having that feeling. I remember you said that you stopped by to say hello because we had not heard from each other in a while. I can still remember when you were walking out the door and you looked back and smiled. That smile stayed with me. I really miss you my friend! Time went by and in April of that next year I searched your name on the computer to see how your career was going. That's when and how I found out. That was a sad day for me. I think I stayed in for two days in a row. I normally don't cry much but I couldn't hold back. Demetria this is my letter to you. When I finish writing this I'm going to get on my knees and close my eyes and know that this letter got through to you. I also want to tell you thanks! Thanks for being a strong lady and living your life to the fullest. You inspired so many people to go for their dreams. Oh yeah! I'm not going to forget the food fight that we had at Ryan's Steak House that day you pushed my ice cream into my face. That was funny.
I miss you!
Luv ya!

Meechie, as I sit her writing I can't believe it has been over a year since you've been gone. I just want to say that even though you passed away at a time in which many cannot understand I know God had a purpose for your life. Most of all I realized that each day isn't promised and to live life to the fullest - cherishing the time you have with family and doing what you love the most. I know you are smiling down as you watch your family find comfort and strength. I love you and thank you for bringing me closer to the family, especially your mom.

Love you always,
Antonia

Meechie, words can not say what you mean to me. You were definitely a beautiful flower from the day I met you, and you bloomed into a magnificent rose of a woman. I've always been proud of you and I love you. Meechie you will remain in my heart and in my mind forever.

Meechie,
I miss you so very much. It has taken me this long to write you because it has been so hard for me to accept you being gone. You were one of my best and closest friends and know that you will never be replaced. I miss calling you to talk about the different things going on in my life and you giving me your advice on what I should do and vise versa. I think about you all the time and sometimes the things make me laugh and other times I cry for hours. I am tearing up just writing this. You were definitely an angel gone too soon and one of the most beautiful people I knew. Just want you to know that I miss you and love you very much. You will always be in my heart and my prayers forever!!

Love you always,
Felicia B.

Gone is the face we loved so dear,
silent is the voice we loved to hear;
too far away for sight or speech,
but not too far for thought to reach.
Sweet to remember Demetria who once was here, and who, though absent, is just as dear.

Demetria, you are truly missed!
Denine, you are in my prayers daily.

Love, Colleen

I can remember when you were just a little girl and your mom would take so many pictures of you. You were beautiful then and looking at all your recent pictures modeling was the right profession for you. Although you are not here with us any longer in the physical body, your spirit will live forever. God took you away for a reason we will never know why but I know your up in heaven doing what you do best and that is letting your light shine.I look at your picture every day and thank god for putting you in my life and my children's life's through your uncle Cornel. One day we all make that journey and the first face I know we will see is that pretty smile and loud mouth. Denine I pray for you everyday that in time you will grow stronger and live out the life that god has designed for you. I Love you
and I am here to listen,pray,cry or whatever it takes to get you through another day. Lavenia L. Edwards

Meechie,

When God calls a loved one home, we sometimes question the wisdom of His love, for no heartache compares with the death of a loved one.

We all are Gifts of God to one another; He places Special Earthly Angels in our lives to reflect his love to us. You are now a Heavenly Angel, looking down with God, and sending Love, Blessings and Peace.
We may be restless as our lives are not whole because you are not with us. But, we will be peaceful because we know it is not forever.

The saddest word known will always be the last "Goodbye". Instead, we say “So Long” because we look forward to seeing you again, in Heaven.
Your Heavenly Love is being sent to your Mother, family and friends, Love that supernaturally help us to keep pressing on one more day.

We have learned from you in Life and now from Heaven that we should cherish each other every moment we have to share.

You are loved without measure and without limit.

Love, Aunt DeLesa

Meechie,

I remember you as a very talented and beautiful young Lady. Your smile always provided a beautiful glow to everyone you shared it with. I always expected to see you in fashion magazines as a model enticing viewers to purchase the items you were modeling.

I imagine you, now, as a gorgeous Angel sharing the glow of Love from God along with His joy and happiness. You will always be remembered as a Niece full of life and energy. And each time I smile, I will attempt to share a glow to others as you did so well.

I expect to see you again when God calls me to share in my reward.

Love you forever, Uncle Mel

"Halo" everytime I here that song, remebering of how I had to pull your strength to dance through it, because that was just for you. You were an Angel here on earth, but now I know your one of my Angels. Although I wish I could still see you I'm blessed to have you by my side whenever I need you. For the last year the thought of being the last person you laid eyes on, I hope you could see my Halo too. Loving you more, Your Cousin, Dannie

--------------------------------------
Denine it's been a year and I know that you are still grieving. I also know that Jesus is still with you and the prayer and love of others are their also. I also know that the grieving and pain never goes away but believe me.....in time it gets less intense. It's been almost 8 years since I loss my child and sometimes it still hurts like it just happened. Grief can be so hard during the holidays, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one this holiday season.

I see you baby.....

A moment of silence for my cousin who left this earth last year;
At a time that was supposed to be filled w/ happiness & cheer.
Before I get too busy w/finals & forget to pay you mind,
Let me tell you that I love & miss you one more time.
Today is the official day of your deaths 1st anniversary,
since you're not here to Live It Up,this 1's on me.
I love you beyond actions &
miss you beyond words,
these words have been spoken to the heavens &
hoped to have been spiritually heard... by you.
