Is only so many way to say you miss someone. Today and several other days as time continues to move on for others I was reminded that it´s not that I haven´t moved forward, it´s that love has no expiration date. Missing you doesn´t mean I´m stuck it means you mattered and you still matter. Grief is love with nowhere to go. You´re never forgotten loved beyond words can express. 34 years I celebrated for you today laying in bed and resting embracing memories of you instead of sadness. I love you little

How many ways can a person express they miss you! I watch and listen to all the post about you and see how they cope with losing you. Your son is a handsome young man and growing up nicely. He is a great boxer and I see great things awaiting him. Your brother Tonio is very tall and out grew all of us. I would like to see him pull it together more but at least he okay. Last time you seen Mani she was still runt and now all grown up attending her first year college. Your mom. My crazy sis talk regularly and find laughter here and there. Your cousin Jamie baby Lei Lei the monster would give you a run for your money. You would give her back in an hour Love you nephew, keep resting we hope and pray to see you in the new world.

Hey Lil, I know I haven't been on your page in awhile but life has been very challenging for me. Today is another year you were taken away from me & I'm still trying to understand & cope. I think about you often & speak as if you are still here with us. I have a difficult time talking to people when they ask me about you. I know I need an outlet or someone to talk too, so I can find ways to get through this grieving process better. Your dad came over this morning & took BJ story out. Him & Lil Nel washed & shined him up & went for spin through the city. Rocket had a fight in NC yesterday, he lost, he did really good considering his rotator cuff is messed up. Your brother has a daughter now, I wish you were here to help guide him through fatherhood. I love you & I always will.

Hey Lil, missing you bunches. Stop by yesterday to clean your headstone off & put some girlie pink flowers out.. I know you wouldn't approve but they match the Dogwood tree flowers that are blooming. I love you & you are forever in my heart & prayers. Tonio sent me flowers from San Diego, they are beautiful.

Hey Lil, my love for you will always be here. You are on my mind constantly. Thinking of how smart you were, how you could draw, putting things together by looking at them & how handy you were when you wanted to be. I remembered when you tried out for track & field, you had your 1st track meet & won, you were so fast. I think of the time you raced your dad down the street & you beat him, lol your dad was fast too, but not fast enough. You were amazinly great at boxing & fatherhood. Rocket is graduating this month on the 22nd from the eighth grade I was told. I wish you were here for all his milestones. Your son is growing up quickly soon be a young man. I love you son forever & always.

9-11-24 cousin Pacman left us to be with you. Aunt Tosha told me baby try to relax, stop crying & turn your phone off. She said "Shawn, you are still grieving the loss of your son & now the loss of your cousin". The Month of September is not good for you. I promise you will get to see your son & your family again & when you do they will wake up thinking they were sleep. They are in a better place than in this world. They are closer to Jehovah God. I love you son. #BJSTORY CONTINUES

9/7/24 was a really emotional day for me. I was full of anxiety. I was nervous & full of rage. I went to the cemetery to put flowers & balloons out but was unable to leave balloons because it was to windy. That just made me have more anxious. Cousin Derrick wanted to see your grave site so I left to go get him. Him & I rode around in BJ story talking about you & listening to music that really helped calm me down. Later that day he surprised me by taking me to Red Lobster to meet up with Cousin Jamie & Brittney. I was really shocked to see them. They are so beautiful. We all sat and chatted about old times & good times. Cousin Jamie insisted on following me home. When I walked in the house I was greeted with balloons with notes on them that the family had left. I had candy on the table & some of my favorite snacks. Jamie even bought watermelon & put in the refrigerator. Aunt Carla message said" She was proud of me & I was a damn good mother to your brother & you & still is. Aunt Niecy said " She remembered when you was around 7 or 8 years old & you was painting my toes". Do you remember when Coco slapped you & you slapped her back & she started crying & yall two started fighting? You know you loved you some Coco, lol. Do you remember been STINGY with Rocket? Locking yourself in the room with & not letting noone hold him. You were too funny. We miss you & I live love you. Lil I will continue to celebrate you as long as I live. Jamie said" She cannot stop the downpour but she will run in rain with your mom". Son that holds volume to me & I will forever be grateful. I got her back to. Happy birthday. # BJSTORYCONTINUESON

Lil J the family miss you so much and your presence is missed. You would be so proud of Rocket he is soaring. I know there is absence because sometimes I can see it in his eyes. I pray that our family always ask him what he wants in life and allow him to express himself freely. I speak with your mom often and she still struggling with your loss. If you seen Emani, you would be amaze how big she got. She will be graduating next year which means BJ will trailing behind in another four years. We miss you and love rest peacefully.

You have a USA 2024 Junior Boxing Olympic Champ. Your son Rocket went to Kansas, showed up & was unstoppable. Your life was taken because close people around you heard your cry but did nothing to help. I wish you were here to celebrate your son on milestone like this, because things are so divide. I don't even get too see Rocket. I'm proud of Rocket & you would be to. You have a great son. I know Jehovah God will continue to watch over him, protect him & keep him from negative things & people. I love you son & rest EZ.

Was woke up really early by your uncle, telling me someone told him that someone had vandalize your headstone. My question is WHY? I really dislike the times we are living in, but it's says it all in the Bible, that we will be dealing with crime, hatred, outcry, pain, suffering and more. I pray and hope this is not true. Someone already taken you away from me and my heart hurts daily, what more do they want? Gone but never forgotten. Loving always.
