I love you and knowing that you love me unconditionally will help me through this. You know we have a bond that is unbreakable no matter whether you here in the physical or not. I can always close my eyes and here you telling me "stop playing with me" or feel you kissing me on my cheek and saying "I love you sis". Hey I will follow your rules and find me a guy thats not a sucker, promise.
Love you.
Your Godsister,

Linda, Jermaine & Aunt Ruby-I love you..and I am here for you, for whatever.
An ode to Brian:
Cousin, I would never think in a million years that I would be signing the guestbook of your death announcement. Its life, and I have accepted that. I am no longer angry. I'll let GOD handle that for me. I will always miss you and will always think of you and all your charm.
Don't worry about your family because we'll try our best to take care of them, like you would.
I love you Brian and Always will.
Your Cuz-O

Brian - It seems like only yesterday when I had the pleasure of meeting you. You were such a "big boy"...all of seven years old and so full of spunk...so full of life! And then I looked around and you were a grown man...yet still very much full of spunk and still so full of life! Thru the years your demeanor never swayed...always so genuine, so pure and true! You will never leave my thoughts and your spirit will always be apart of my soul little brother. Your time here on earth is done... You've left your mark... I know you have the angels up above laughing heartily and smiling brightly. May you rest in peace.
Ms. Quattlebaum, Grandma & Jermaine - words can not express the sympathy I feel for you and your family. May God keep you and hold you all in your time of sorrow.
Much Love, Many Hugs and Lots of Kisses,

To my Friend Linda the beloved Mother of Brian D.Thomas , We have been friends for a long while and our children were small together. This is going to probably be the hardest thing you have ever experienced in life losing Brian ( your baby son) so young but always keep all his smiles and all his gestures and comments, memories he made and gave to you so very close to your heart because he was a very unique young man who was much loved and will truly be missed by my son and daughter Dimitri and ,Yolonda and myself very much. But my prayers and my arms are open for you and your family when ever you need me. Brian you will truly be missed I will never forget how you just took to my special son Dimitri and just talked with him and listened to him no matter what he would be talking about. And to your Brother Jermaine and all of (Brian's) nieces and nephews and all the family whose hearts he touched may God be with you all in your time of sorrow and loss of your loved one. To his Grandmother Ruby who he loved so very much remember all the good times and stay strong and he will still be pulling your pants leg down just to keep you straight at all times(He was always keeping everyone and everything neat). Brian I will truly miss you. Love Conchita

To some you may be forgotten,
To others you may be a part of the past,
But to those who loved and lost you,
Your memories will always last.
They are a cluster of memories,
sprayed with a million tears.
Wishing God could have spared you
for just a few more years.

Linda & Jermaine,
Words cannot express the loss of Brian, (my little son)! I have known him since he was born with his cute self. He was always a happy person and a good son to you Linda and he loved his big brother! I guess I try and tell myself that Brian is now resting in PEACE and that, I am grateful for. But we all are left with the void and we will all be here for you Linda to help fill that void in some small way. Brian's smile said it all. He was a sweetheart!

I can not begin to tell you how sad I am knowing the pain you are feeling now. I can only say that if there is anything that I can do, just call. We loved him also, and will remember the last time we saw and talked with him. I will always remember that smile.

You will be definitely missed Brian. I remember when we used to hang out back in our younger days, but as we grew up you lived in a different area and I did, so we grew apart. I never forgot you (and the trash you always talked), but I love you man and I hope your mother, Geneva, Teddy, and the rest of your family can stay strong and pray there way through the pain. God Bless!
