Hey Los! I was just sitting here thinking about you and a big smile came across my face. It's almost been three years since you've been gone......still seems so fresh. Forget you, never...How could I......you shared your life with me and I will never forget all of the things that I most loved about you. Always and Forever!!!

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.

Carlos,

You would think after two years all would be well with me.

Well its not, things have become very hard for me. I feel like no one understands me like you did.

Just the other day I called for you, but got no response. Carlos I need you now more then I ever needed you when you was here.

I pray that God would bring you back for just one day, so that I could just talk to you and tell you just how much I love you and how much I miss you.

Well I know that I could go on and on with how much I miss you and Love you.

I'm just going to say this little prayer. " God I know that all good and perfect things don't always last. But if you could just answer this one pray and bring Carlos back so that I could just talk to him. Just to see him and tell him I love you and will never stop loving you." Amen.....

Hey Los, It's me Trese and tomorrow is the last day for any and everybody to sign your guest book. As I read all of the entries today, I still couldn't believe that you are gone away from all of us. It truly seemed like yesterday that you were just calling to say, "What's up" or "Holla back"! Carlos as we all wait to see you again just know that we all are doing well and God has soften all hearts so that it won't be as hard to deal with you gone. Love you, Trese

Well Los we have reach another day without. Its seems like you were just here with us laughing and playing. Carlos when I first met you. I would have never thought you would have such impact on my life. I miss the late night talks. Just calling your answering machine listening to your poems. I still can't believe that you are gone away from here. You were very special to me. You will always have a place in my heart forever. I will see you at the pearlie white gates one day until then I love you.

I miss you

Carlos,

I'm still missing you like crazy. Your spirit will always be with me.

I feel as if you are with me all the time.

I pretend as if you are on an extended vacation, and I'm waiting for your return.

So that we could talk and laugh about all the thing that you encountered while on your vacation.
(smile)

That was something that you loved to do. was laugh and enjoy yourself.

So every chance I get, I would laugh about something you've said in the past.

I can't wait til we are able to see one another again, so that we could get back to old times, laughing and having fun.

Like one song writer wrote "YOU WILL ALWAYS BE THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS",

Love Always
your Lil, Big sister

Hey Poppa,

It has been a long time and I really miss you so much. Happy Belated Birthday. I had a celebration with the kids in your honor.

I often sit and think of ways to ease the pain of you being gone but it is hard to swallow losing the only person you could trust.

You were totally honest with me at all times and I will always be grateful to you for being a part of my life.

I love you so much!!!

January 24, 2007

Sis Stephanie

Thoughts of you on your "Special Day" "L"

January 18, 2007

Happy Birthday Carlos!!! You aren't here in the physical sense to celebrate your Birthday, however, those of us that knew and loved you will always remember your "Special" Day. You always looked forward to your Birthday and was really big on "Holidays". Your smile has been missed, the long talks, everything!

January 20th, a Day I will remember and Celebrate.

It is funny I remember Carlos and Herbie as little kids playing in the neighborhood. He was a bright sweet kid that grew into a charming young man. I saw him while visiting DC about 2 months before he passed. As always he had the biggest grin on his face and a warm greeting. I was so saddened to hear of his passing, just stunned really.

My heart goes out to the Crosson family. I know what it feels like to lose someone you love. Just remember it does heal in time and gets a little easier with each day. The pain never ever goes away, but you will get through. God is a good God and doesn't give you anymore than you handle. Just remember his body was just a vessel for this world, but his spirit lives forever!!! God Bless!

Time has past so quickly. I still can't believe Carlos isn't here with us! He is missed so much! Hey Steph, it's going to be alright. I know it's really hard but you have a strong heart and spirit and remember, God will help you through all the tough times.
Your friend always,

Carlos,

We have come across yet another Holiday with out you. You would think by now all should be well with the fact of you being gone.

Well its not! I came into the house on Christmas day, and it is still not the same.

I don't think no holidays will be the same with out you. life is just not the same with out you.

I miss you still. I wish this was just a dream and some one please wake me up!!!!!

Love sis

Carlos,

I know that they say that "TIME HEAL ALL WOUNDS". Well for some reason its not working for me.

Its a year and almost two months, and yet I'm still in pain. and still have no rest.

When will the pain subside. I know that it won't go away, but I just need it to subside so that I may rest.

Carlos I see your kids and it kills me inside to see how much they look like you.

And it also hurts me to know that they will never get to know the type of person you was.

One will always have some type of memory of you, but the other one will never get to know who her father was, she will see pictures of you, but that just isn't the same as being in your presents.

You would be so proud of your kids if you were here to see them. thats all you ever ask for was to have some kids before you left this world and it came to pass for you.

You just didn't have the opportunity to spend as much time with them as you would of like too.

I still miss you like crazy and hopeful will see you again one day.

Love your sis Stephanie

Hey Poppy,

I wanted to stop through because I was thinking about you all day today. It was weird because I was thinking about when I first got pregnant with Carlos and how you talked to my mom. If it weren't for you I may have been out there in the streets with no clue of what to do. You had ESP because you were always around at the right time. I know you are still there looking down on us and that makes my life that much better. Rest In Peace, Poppy!!! I Love You and I Will Never Forget You!!!! Until we meet again!!!

STEPHANIE CROSSON

September 8, 2006

Carlos,

I was sitting at my desk and I was listening to a song that reminds me of you.

Its by Mariah Carey." Never Forget You". That is a real true song.

Even thought the song was out before you past. It just seems as if she wrote it for right now.

I listen to this song every morning before I start my day at work, and every night before I go to sleep.

I still miss you a great deal. I went to a wedding this weekend, and I thought about a conversation that we had.

That you was going to be the one that will walk me down the aisle when I said "I DO" to that special someone.

It really hurt to know that, that day will never happen as for as you walking me down.

I will hold a place in my heart for you as if you was the one walking me down the aisle.

I know that you are going to be with me on that day. cause we already talked about it, and I know that you wouldn't miss it for anything in this world.

I love you brother!!!! I never got to tell you how much I loved you before you left, because you left so soon, but I know that you know exactly how much I do.

Hey Poppy,

It's been a year since you the Lord called you home. I still think of you everyday and wish it was all a bad dream. Poppy I am going through a lot right now. If it wasn't for you teaching me to stay strong and to have faith I would have lost it a long time ago. I celebrate your memory because you were so many special things to us when you were here. We will always have those memories in our hearts. Poppy, I will never forget you. Thank you for being like the father I never had. I love you very much.

Carlos,

It's now been a year that you've been gone, yet still seems like yesterday that u were here. That night was so unreal, talking to you one minute & you were gone the next. It will never be the same. I miss you greatly & i'll always remember your "smile".

July 19, 2006

Today I thought I saw you, my heart drop to my stomach.

I began to shake, and my hands was all sweaty.

I stopped in my track, closed my eyes and counted to ten, and then open them very slowly.

And as my eyes was closed, I began to pray. A part of me really wanted it to be you, but then reality slowly sat in.

When I opened my eyes I realize that it was not you. A tear felled from my eye.

I began to walk away, but as I began to walk away, I kept looking at the guy.

I must have been looking to hard, because he said something to me, he said "Its going to be okay" and I began to smile as I walked on.

I thought that it was you saying keep your head up, and that I'm still with you.

Thanks for always being there for me, Even though you are not here physically.

There's always a song that is played that reminds me of you, or maybe something that you might of said to me.

And that gives me the motive to keep on keeping on, even when I don't want to.

There's still days when I just can't seem to shake this reality thing that your gone, off of me.

I just think of all the good days, so that they can outweigh all the bad days, that we shared together.

Well its about to be one year since you have been gone ,and yet it still doesn't seem like its going to be a year. It seems as if it was just yesterday that you was say something crazy to me.

I love you brother, and still miss you a great deal.

I still feel as if it was just yesterday that we talked.

I miss you so much and wish that you can come back.

Angelo Graduated Wednesday and it was hard. I wish you could have been there with me to celebrated him.

I know he would have been happy to have you there with him on that special day.

Yesterday Angelo tried on an outfit of yours, down to the shoes, it was as if you was standing in front of me.

My eyes fell with tears as I watched him stand in the mirror.

Boy I miss you. Carlos you are 2 good 2 be 4 gotten.

Hi Babe, As I was reading these entries everyone have written, I still cannot believe that you aren't here with us all. Last night as I sat on the porch and remembered how you and I would have it out about certain issues, then I thought about our last conversation. If I never said it before I am saying it now, "Thank you for being apart of my life, for understanding me as a person not just your boy's wife". Each and everyday I come home and walk through my door, I see your smiling face, damn do I miss you and I know everyone else misses you too! God has surely humbled my heart too alot of things and also given me peace to know that I will see you again. "Brickhouse",you rest on and I will see you again.

Love,

Trese

Carlos,

It's extremely difficult to forget someone so special. Not a day goes by that i don't think of you, & i look at your picture each and everyday. Often times when i sing "Love" i have u in my thoughts, because when i used to sing it u used to just give me that beautiful "smile" of yours. I hope that god continues to comfort those whom of which, are trying to deal with your loss.

Love,

CARLOS,

I WAS SITTING HERE THINKING ABOUT YOU AND,YOUR WONDERFUL SMILE, AND HOW I COULD CALL YOU AND, YOU WOULD HAVE ME LAUGHTING JUST BECAUSE.

MY DAYS ARE DARK AND MY NIGHTS ARE VERY CLOUDY, THEY HAVE BECOME SO LONG AND LONELY. I HAVE TO LOOK AT YOUR AT YOUR PICTURE EVERYDAY, JUST TO MAKE ME HAPPY.

I HAD A DREAM ABOUT YOU THE OTHER DAY FOR THE FIRST TIME,AND IT FELT SOOOOOO REAL, THAT ALL I COULD DO WAS CRY.

I CRIED SO MUCH, TIL THIS CALMNESS CAME OVER ME. ALL I COULD DO WAS PICK MYSELF UP AND SMILE.

I KNEW AT THAT MOMENT THAT I WAS GOING TO BE OKAY. (THANKS)

LOVE YOU LOS

Hey Los,

What's Up, Carlos I think about you all the time. It's not a day that goes by that you are not on my mind. This time of the year is really rough for me because you and I use to watch the playoff's game at Fridays every year. This is the first time in four years you are not there with me.

Carlos I remember the last time that we were together. We were at Friday's our favorite spot on Friday nights. That particular night it was me,you,and day-day. I remember the last thing that you said was to me was Love You sis.

Mr. and Mrs. Crosson (mom), Mrs. Lisa Crosson, and the rest of the family, I hope all is well. Although I have known of Carlos' departure, it takes time to digest certain realities. It does seem like yesterday that I saw and spoke with Carlos. Of course, he was getting at me about his big brother.

He made me laugh - as soon as we saw one another after many years his first words were, "What's up Dirty?"

That day, he made me think about how much time we lose everyday with the ones we love. DC life is unique and brings with it many circumstances for our families. We miss out on a lot with our loved ones.

Carlos was beautiful and his presence is a permanent imprint on my heart and mind. He represents this life we live and everything valuable in it.

I will remember to take from every circumstance in life the portion that represents love - the true reason for living. That day, he made me remember not to forget the ones we love while out here trying to survive, even when we can't be with them. And sometimes our loved ones' survival is based on us not forgetting them. I love you Carlos. Thanks.

Hey Pooh,
I know you are all the way cursing me out for that greeting but you know you will always be my Pooh! There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you and how different life would be for me and so many others if you were still here. I miss our talks, your listening ear when I was down and your words of wisdom that motivated to keep on movin. The Girls say hello and miss you soooo much!
"In Loving Memory"
Don't think of Carlos as gone away
his journey has just begun
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one
Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days or years
think of how he must be wishing
that if only today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away
and think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched
for nothing loved is ever lost
and Carlos was loved so very much!!

CARLOS

THIS TIME LAST YEAR I WAS EMAILING YOU TO TELL YOU IT WAS MY BIRTHDAY AND THAT I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO HANGING OUT WITH YOU, AND LOOKING FOR A GIFT.

THIS YEAR I WILL BE DOING IT ALONE.IT IS GOING TO BE KIND OF HARD KNOWING THAT YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CALL ME AND SAY HAPPY BIRDAY DIRTY REDDS.

WELL,I'M GOING TO DO MY BEST AND ENJOY MYSELF TODAY, AS I KNOW THAT YOU WOULD HAVE WANTED.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR LEAVING A GOOD PERSON TO TALK TO. I THINK THAT HE IS VERY HONORED TO HAVE BEEN GIVE THE PLEASURE.

WE TALK ABOUT YOU EVERY CHANCE WE GET, ITS GOOD THERAPY FOR THE BOTH OF US.

WE LAUGHTED SO HARD ABOUT THE TIME THAT YOU ALL FIRST MET. THAT WAS A FUNNY STORY.

WELL ANYWAY, THINKING OF YOU ON MY BIRTHDAY. STILL MISSING YOU LIKE CRAZY.

LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Babe, I wanted you to know that you were heavy on my heart today.Jeliah and I spent time woith your boy on last Friday, we truly enjoyed our visit too! On Saturday, I recieved a call from a dear friend of yours and I told her that I still can't believe you are gone from us. Day by day my wounds are healing but I know that I will see your face again. Sweetie,if I didn't ever tell you I am telling you now thank you for being there whenever I needed you. Ma is good as you probably know, J-Man is doing great too! Stephanie and everyone else are doing just fine because God has them all in the palms of his hands. I love you babe.

February 28, 2006

Carlos,

I was just setting here and thinking of all the fun times that we shared together growing up.

And how you never wanted me to hang out with you and your friends,cause you didn't want them to try and mess with me.

As if you were told to protect me from something, and even when we grew older, you still tried to protect me.

Thanks for always being there for me, even when I didn't want you to be. I now truely miss that. I never thought I would be saying something like that.

Eventhough you where younger than I was. (always my big brother)

I was thinking of our last conversation over the phone.And how you always made me smile, no matter what I might of been feeling at that moment.

You always knew what to say, how to say it, and always at the right moment.

Sometimes I felt as if I was comforting myself.

No one could ever comfort me the way you use to, or even make me laugh when I'm feel at my worst.

Today is one of those days that I'm miss you the most. Cause I'm feeling my worst, and you're not here to comfort me, or even make me smile.

People always remember to cherish what you have, cause someday you just might be where I'm today. With out my best friend.

(and this is the worst ever)

I miss you bookie, as my daugher would say.

Love you Brother

Poppy, I miss you so much. I just got finished looking at my photo album. I was looking at the pictures that I have of you. I was thinking about the time that you were at the hospital with me when I had major surgery. I don't think I could have went through it if you weren't there. You have always been there for me and I will always love you for that. Talk to you later.

February 14, 2006

Carlos,

You'll always be loved because you're the kind of person who touches lives and hearts.

You'll always be loved because you're very special.

You'll always be loved because you're one of a kind.

You'll always be loved simply because you're you.

Happy Valentine's Day Sweetie.

Love Always,

Jo

February 9, 2006

To The Crosson Family,

I said a prayer of sympathy

To the good Lord up above

To ask Him to console you

And comfort you with love

I prayed for help to understand

The wisdom of His ways

To trust that life is measured

By love and not by days

I prayed He'd hold your loved one

In the hollow of His hand

Filled with perfect peace and joy

According to His plan

Until that promised day

When all of you will be

Together in His warm embrace

Throughout eternity

Love You All,

Jolanda

Carlos,

Time has passed,and yet I'm still missing you more and more,that wonderful smile that you so gracefully embrassed us with.

I look at your pictures every chance I get,and sometimes I wish that you where still here with me.

I know the saying "Time Heal all Wounds",sometimes I don't feel as if time will ever heal my wounds.

Carlos I miss you more now, than I did the day that you where called home.

Some days my heart just aches so bad, that I wish the pain would just go away.

I'm really trying very hard to be a strong women infront of everyone, I think the hardest thing for me has been just trying to be strong in front of everyone.

I know that you would want me to be strong, and I am trying very hard. Its six months to the day, and yet your presents has not left me yet, and the way things are going it wounldn't.

Someone once told me that,"LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF BREATHS WE TAKE,BUT BY THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE OUR BREATH AWAY".

CARLOS, I GUESS MY LIFE HAS JUST BEEN MEASURED, BECAUSE THIS HAS TRULY TAKEN MY BREATH AWAY

Love Always,

Stephanie

I was just sitting and thinking about Los and how he is missed so deeply the poetry readings we just miss so dearly.

To the family especially to his sister Stephanie I never had the pleasure of meeting you but I do know that your brother loved you and often spoke about you I see your entries on this guest book and my heart goes out to you and to the entire family, your brother, and to Mr and Mrs. Crosson your son was a beautiful person his smile bought smiles when you did not feel like smiling his words were always REAL when he spoke we stood attention he was a wonderful person and I often think about him. My prayers go out to the family I know we all say that god won't put any more on us than we can handle, hang in there I know it's hard but with prayer we shall overcome anything, take care and may god bless you all, Stephanie baby girl hang in there it's rough right now but god's looking out for you thru Los eyes ....

Happy Birthday Carlos!

Los, January 20th will forever be your day because your memory will always be kept alive through your loved ones. They will be able to tell your son, nieces and nephews how much of a great and wonderful man you were! There are so many funny Carlos stories still to be told, anyone who had ever crossed your path are sure to have one to tell. You made so much of an impact on those around you. You touched those who knew you well and people who were just meeting you for the 1st time. No one is making you out to be a saint because you had your faults like anyone else but one thing for certain and two things for sure, you were one hell of a man that could never be replaced. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day to celebrate you, so sunny as if you were smiling down on us. We will celebrate you with the love you shared with us and the hilarous memories you have left. I declare today to be your day; YOU ARE ALL THE WAY FAMOUS (but I'm sure your big head already new that)!!!!!

January 20, 2006

Carlos-

You are so special! So many people are celebrating you today; and I'm proud to be one of them.

Happy Birthday Sweetie!

"Love and miss you"

Always,

Who would ever ever imagined celebrating your day of birth without you. I remember this day 2005 as clear as yesterday. Los I am still not all I should be, but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead and (in this case meeting you again), I strain to reach the end of this race to receive the prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven. Philippians 3:13b,14.

The prize at the end of the race is heaven. That gives me encouragement. Looking forward should give us all strength, peace, and hope and I agree its hard to let go of SUCH A WONDERFUL, EAGER SPIRITED, LOVING past. The scripture I mentioned above tells us we will may have to strain (or work a little harder) to get our energy focused on the right things, but remember God is right there with US to give strength and lead US on. God bless and strengthen everyone of you that has experienced some level care for "los". today marks a year of knowing Los and its hard enough accepting losing a close friend. Mother Crosson and Siblings I dont know what its like to lose someone so close to home but I will tell you your jewel has been sent on a new journey. A journey as we move along on our earthly pilgrimage, we don't need to stumble in the darkness of unbelief. Instead, we walk his light toward an eternity of never ending peace,happiness,and blessedness. They say the past is anything from before.. What's good about that is our past with Carlos will never change. Our memories, both good and bad times wont ever go away we will forever have them. We change by choosing to do so" "We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same." Happy Birthday!

Happy Happy Birthday "Los"

This will be the day that I celebrate your life, and all that came with it.

Because had you been here, I know that you would have went all out for your Birday, as you would say(smile)

So today I proclaim this a day of fun and joy.

To just set back and remember all the good times that I was allowed to share with you.

Wish that you could be here to celebrate with me, but god had something better for you to do at this time.

As the saying goes, "GONE, BUT NEVER EVER TO BE FORGOTTEN". WE LOVE YOU LOS.

Carlos,

Although your soul is now at rest

And free from care and pain

This world would seem like Heaven

If we had you back again

But still we say, His will be done

Your soul is with the Best

And we who grieve for you today

Are the ones who loved you best

Today makes five months since you've been gone. We miss you so much. You will forever remain in our hearts.

Love,

Jolanda, Romaine and Jeannine

THIS CHRISTMAS WAS VERY QUITE WITHOUT YOU.

NO LAUGHTING, NO JOKES, AND NO ONE TO PLAY AROUND WITH.

YOU WAS SANTA. ALWAYS BRING GREAT JOY TO ALL THE KIDS.

YOUR GIFT TO EVERYONE WAS YOUR SMILE, YOUR LOVE, AND ALL YOUR STORIES YOU USE TO TELL.

YOU ALWAYS BROUGHT JOY TO EVERYONE YOU CAME IN CONTACT WITH.

IT WAS FUNNY NOT TO HAVE A HENIKEN IN THE HOUSE WAITING FOR YOU.

I WAS JUST SICK THIS CHRISTMAS, I'M STILL FEELING LIKE I MUST BE DREAMING, WILL SOMEONE PLEASE WAKE ME UP.

CARLOS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND NO ONE WILL EVERY BE ABLE TO REPLACE YOU.

Happy Kwanza Carlos, I wanted you to know that I truly missed you on yesterday which was Christmas Day, of course I had to pop that 1738 just for you. It was so hard for me to be without Stink as well as it was even harder not hearing your voice or seeing your face. Slim I miss you like hell. Not a day goes by when your name is mentioned in my home as well as in public. Los, you rest on my dear and I will see you again in that great get up morning. I love brother, Trese

Hey Poppy I just stopped through to let you know how much I miss you. I often remember the talks that we use to have. You always knew what to say to make the biggest issue seem so small. You've helped me through a lot and I will always respect and love you for that. You have a heart of gold and no one will ever take your place in my life. I love you so much. Merry Christmas Poppy until I come through again.

I find myself thinking back to all of the memories we shared and I can't help but to think to myself "I can't believe that Carlos is gone". I constantly listen to your final recording on my phone wishing that I had said something more to encourage you stay home or do something "safe". I see that this, was not meant to be. I bid you a tearful farewell, Carlos and pray that one day, you and I both will meet again.....in Paradise.

To Ma Crosson, Lisa and the rest of the Crosson family I apologize for taking so long to sign the guest book. It has been real hard for me to come to grips with the loss of the father that I never had. Carlos and I shared a bond that no one could break. He has been there for me when know one else was. I will never forget how big his heart was. So I want to send you my deepest sympathy. Ma I wanna Thank You for giving birth to such a special person he has graced all that knew him with so much wisdon and love. To the rest of the family I love you all.

THERE WILL NEVER BE A TIME THAT YOUR NAME WILL NOT BE MENTIONED OR MEMORIES SHARED BY THE ONES THAT TRULY LOVE YOU.

SOMEONE WROTE ONCE "THAT YOU ALWAYS MISS THE ONES THAT ARE DEAR AND CLOSE TO YOUR HEART THE MOST"

YOU ARE THE ONE THAT THE WRITER WAS TALKING ABOUT, CAUSE YOU ARE TRULY MISSED BY MANY.

THIS MONTH MARK THE FRIST DAY OF YOUR TRUE FREEDOM!!!! (SMILE)

AND THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF AN ETERNAL REST. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO KEEP WATCH OVER YOUR SOUL.

LOVE YOU LIL BRO. YOUR SISTERS TRULY MISS AND LOVES YOU DEEPLY.

December 9, 2005

Carlos,

No farewell words were spoken

No time to say goodbye

You were gone before we knew it

And only God knows why

It’s been four months today since you went home to be with our Lord and Savior. I realize that God doesn’t make mistakes. He certainly chose a treasured angel when He decided to choose you.

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.

Love, Peace and Blessings

So many family members, friends and loves ones that you have left behind and I wish everyone peace, comfort and strength in your memories (such loving and joyful memories)! Wishing for everyone to find solace in your sense of humor, favorite sayings, spoken word and your memory of you being you (so lively an animated). Such a wonderful person and friend to lend support in your own time of turmoil, one of a kind!!! Never to know the tremendous impact and inspiration you would leave on so many. Such a legend with your original style (so 80's style), love will live on for you in so many!!!

The Broken Chain

We little knew that morning

That GOD was going to call your 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 strength is still our guide

And though we cannot see you

You are always at our side

For now our chain is broken

And nothing seems the same

But as GOD calls us one by one

The chain will link again

With Love Always,

Jolanda & Brianna

Carlos,

Yesterday I loved you and that love made me cry

Yesterday you went away and you never said good-bye

Yesterday we thought that tomorrow would come and chase the dark of night away

Yesterday my heart began to break because I knew that you could not stay

Yesterday I found out that your time on earth had come to an end

yesterday I had to say good-bye to my friend

Yesterday we never thought that we would ever be apart

Yesterday I never thought that you would ever be breaking my heart

Yesterday we talked and laughed about all the good and bad times that we've shared

Yesterday I held on to my memories I thought that you would always be there

Yesterday I thought that it was all a bad dream and you were coming back

Yesterday when I woke up and you weren't there and I had to face the obvious fact

Yesterday I realized that my dreams of us being together will never ever be

All of my yesterdays all added up together and they will still be yesterday that you had to leave me!!

My dearest Carlos;

What can I say.....I miss you sooooo very much! I will cherish all of the memories that we have, from the very first time we met. Los, I have always loved you and wanted the best for you. I've always wanted to protect you as best I could from anything bad in this world but this time Baby, I couldn't and I guess God had a different plan for you. The love that I have will NEVER CHANGE and you will forever be in my heart. This has been very very difficult for me but I am trying as best I can to deal with this. Boy, is this a test or what! This is the hardest thing that I've EVER had to deal with.....I've lost loved ones and friends before but this time, my Precious Carlos.....you've been taken away from me and I just can't believe you are gone!

We are never to question God and ask why so I won't....I know you are in a better place so for that reason, it helps me a little, knowing that you are being well taken care of. I am constantly trying to fight away the tears from the sadness of you being gone but it's not working. It's going to be a process that is going to take time.....

Thank you for sharing your life with me and your heart! I will take all of what you have taught me and apply them to my life!

I look forward to reuniting with you again!

Lisa Crosson (Your Wife: "L")

CARLOS,

Well its been 2months and 3days since you've been gone.But it seem like just yesterday we were talking on the phone to one another.

Time has past, and I'm still trying to move on with my life, but it has been a long and hard journey.

I heard one writer say. "People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, But people will never forget how you made them feel".

I can truely agree with that writer.Because you was the type that would leave a lasting impression on a person. And that will never be forgotten.

So just to let you know that I will never ever forget the wonderful person that you was and always will be to me. (My Angel)

Love you always

your sis

Appreciate the Blessing

I had a litle worry

and didn't know what to do.

Until I looked to heaven

and all the skies of blue.

It made me understand

that solace can be found,

With faith and hope and love

To make my joys abound.

So take a look at heaven

just when your troubles start....

And pray for precious guidance

To pacify your heart.

And when your prayer is over,

And your worries too-

Appreciate the blessing

that comes from heaven to you.

"What's up, Babe?" Goodmorning, I was thinking about this morning and wanted you to know that I miss you alot. Each day is getting easier for me as I pray for God's strength. Los you just don't know how much you touched lives and changed hearts, but do know that you are truly loved and missed each day. Jeliah asks me from time to time, "Mommy, will I see my Uncle Carlos again, and I tell her with love in my voice, Yes you will." Stink misses you as well, how much I cannot begin to tell you, but you know. Los, we love you!

Dear Los,

I am sitting here on October 4, 2005 of just hearing the news that your young soul has been taken away from us all too soon. I only had the honor of knowing you for a short while but trust and believe that you will never be forgotten in my heart. I will always keep with me your words of wisdom and that beautiful smile. May the angels up above watch over you and your family.

Forever a friend,

Forever in our hearts

We thought of you with love today

But that is nothing new

We thought of you yesterday

And days before that too

We think of you in silence

We speak your name with pride

And we relive our memories of living side by side

Your memory is our keepsake

With which we'll never part

God has you in his keeping

We have you in our heart

Love Always,

Jo & Bri

Mere words and thoughts cannot express the loss of someone as HUGE as Carlos. The news of Carlos' untimely departure has been very difficult to comprehend. I keep asking, why him, why now? The only source of comfort has been the knowledge of the promise that God has made to each and every one of us....that we shall all taste death, not in our time but in His. I pray that Carlos will finally find the peace and serenity that he soo desperately sought in this life, in the next. My condolences, prayers and love go out to the entire Crosson Family. May God and His perfect plan be your source of strength, comfort and understanding now and always. Love always.....

Gone From My Sight

I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other.

Then someone at my side says,"There she is gone!"

"Gone where?"

Gone from my sight. That is all. She is just as large in mast and hall and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear her load of living freight to her destined port.

Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says: "There she is gone!" there are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout, "Here she comes!"

Uncle Carlos,

You know we were drawn to each other immediately, I still remember the first day that we met. Thank you for being an ear when I needed one or a voice of reasoning when I needed that. Most of all thank you for that fabulous smile of yours. You are finally free. Hey, don't worry I am going to take good care of Marcel for you. Love you.

We will miss you
