Hey you ... it's been a long time and I'm still thiking of you daily. It's strange cause sometimes I think you are still here it's hard to say I had so I just say I have two children. Yeah... I know it's crazy but it is what it is.

Now that your dad has passed I have lost the two best men in my life since my father. It's so hard to say good bye so I'm never going to say it. But I miss you both so much and much as I try to move on I'm unable.

FOREVER LOVE SON

Well I did my second Christmas without my baby, don't know how but I pulled through. I promise I'm going to be better next year (like getting a tree) but things can never be the same without my #1. Taquan is a big help though. I thank you for helping me mold him into the person he is today, he really misses his uncle Alan. Love you always and forever!

Oh, Alan as you always say "I'll be right back"

You know your dad heart is still aching and I pray GOD give him the strength to go on. Sometimes it's hard for him too. We both just remember the great times we all use to have enjoying family time.

Miss You!!!!!

Well Alan it will be a year on the 25th of June and it feel like it was only a couple of months ago. I sit here alone and still cry that I lost my only son. I miss you so very much and I'm not sure what will happen from this day forth. But, I will say things have not been the same without hearing your voice saying what you doing ma. I wonder if you have seen Keisha yet? I know you and Keisha are both in GOD hands and can't be more @ Peace. I hope you know that it's not a day that I wake up you are not on my mind. It's hard but with the strength of GOD, I know I will get through this storm as well. You know Keisha is still on my heart so why wouldn't you be still on my heart as well.

Thinking of you,

Mom

Well I got through our favorite time of the year, which was rough without you there to knock on the door Christmas morning asking "What's for breakfast?".

Still too much to handle though...

Hey Babes. I still can't believe it. I look for you to walk in the door while me and Weezy doing homework and say "Kim what's up Kim". My world is lost without you in it. Love you and miss you always and forever.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABES!!! I know I'm a couple days late on here, but you know we did it up for you at the cook-out at my house. I still don't know what I'm supposed to do though.

We've been mourning, crying, laughing, reminiscing...I've been to the funeral---even spoke, but it still feels so unreal---so surreal. I don't understand and I guess I never will. I will always remember the last time I saw Alan 3 weeks ago. We had a ball (as usual) celebrating my birthday. I along with everyone else have fond memories of Al that I’ll always cherish. I will forever miss him but I have faith that he’s in a better place—having the time of his life.

Kim, Marquita, Tony, Monica and Boo: There’s nothing that I can say to make the pain of losing Alan go away…I wish that I could. I just want you all to know that I’ll always be there for whatever you need. We’re family and that’s what we do for each other

Love you all always,

Sauntia

Monica, Kim & Boo...

You have lost an angel. Know that Alan was a remarkable son and brother who grew up to be a wonderful young man. Having known him since the day he was born I am blessed to say that he was a good boy and man. He didn't have a bad bone within him. He was well loved and he will always be loved. I know that in your pain and loss GOD knows you love Alan, but he loves him more for he gave his only begotten son for us all.

I will never tell you, you will get over your loss because you won't. But someday you will learn too cope and the memories that you have of Alan will continue to live forever in your heart and life.

You are in my prayers now and always and more than anything I love you all.

Thank you all for all the prayers and everything else. Both my family and I appreciate it greatly.

My brother I love you now and always. I know that people say things will get easier with time because it has been said once before when we lost Keisha. But you are different, this one messed my core up. You were my everything for so many years, I can't imagine my life without you in it. I gotta prepare for you services (which is insane to me).

Your big sis Kim

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
