Our Blessed Beloved Son:



We love you here on Earth As It Is In Heaven



A Heart of Gold Stopped Beathing. Two Beautiful eyes at rest, God Broke Our Hearts, To prove He only takes the best. God knows You had to leave Us, but You Didn't go alone. A part of Us went with You, the Day God Called You Home.



"I love you Charlie; its so hard to say goodbye; and I won't ever. You live within in me always and Forever; Mother"

PRECIOUS MEMORIES



SUBMITTED BY: Father, Mother & Son



Travelling back into the past, passing over the bad and stepping into good, with no regrets or resentments towards the bad memories that I may encounter; But accepting them as a trail for happiness and a just cause for peace. Knowing that I have a lived a life to its fullest witout inflecting death upon myself for proof that it is the will of God that I live and not my own.

It is seeing the simple and the easy as something I have already overcome and not as something to get away with and loving because I have it to give and not because I want it in return.

It is understanding that all have not experienced as much as I and others may have experienced even more before finally travelling down the road that is guided by the light of peace acquaint now thyself with Him and be at peace, thereby good shall come unto thee--Job 22:21

Every soul shall have the taste of death - Sura 5:26 Quran

It is God who gives life Then gives you death - Sura 45:26 Quran

The family wishes to acknowledge with grateful appreciation all acts of kindness and prayers that our many friends have shown during our loss. May God Bless you All.

Uncle Da'wud,

It's seems like it was only yesterday that you were here, over my mother's house cooking on the grill. I miss you so much. I miss that crazy smile of yours and all those sloppy wet kisses you use to give me. You were so full of energy even at your lowest point. You were alway willing to give a helping hand. I just want you to know that when you left to go upstairs you left me with the most precious memories of you and your energetic ways. I love you.



Your neice,



Tynika (nikki)

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named.

That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love.

May be able to comprehend with all saints what is breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now unto him that is able to do exeeding abundantly above all that we ask or think , according to the power that worketh in us.

Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21

Rose you have my deepest and heart-felt sympathy, I will continue to pray for the family. I miss all of you. Your great-niece Takia sends her sympathy

also.
