I will wait for you to visit me in my dreams. I love you. You may be gone but you will never ever be forgotten. Rest on Pooh.

April 6, 2015

Pooh, I am having such an unbelievable time adjusting to life without you. For the past 10 days , I've been falling asleep to the CD you brought me. I caught myself a few times getting ready to call or text you. Certain times of the day I be anticipating a call or text from you. I often look at the last picture you sent me. Once reality settle in I feel a huge lump in my throat. Followed by a chest full of tears. I miss your voice, I miss your conversation, I miss your advice, I miss your smile, I miss your smell, I miss your presents, and I will always LOVE you UNCONDITIONAL no matter what. Pooh you will always live forever in my heart. I will never forget you and the times we shared. I will think of you every day I will LOVE YOU always and FOREVER to INFINITY

April 6, 2015

Pooh I left your service early because I couldn't say goodbye. When I got home, I called your phone to hear your voice. Call me crazy, but I left you a voicemail telling you how much I will miss you. At first I was angry then a calm came over me. Letting me know that you were Free! No more worries, no more pain nor suffering. I will miss you my SON! Love cousin Reesa

April 6, 2015

Pooh I left the service early because I couldn't bear the pain of saying Goodbye to you. When I got home I called your phone just to hear your voice. Call me crazy if you like, I left you a message on your voicemail telling you how much you will be missed. I was mad that you left me so soon. Then I praised God that you are in a better place, no fear, no pain and no more worries! I love you my Son, Cousin Reesa

April 2, 2015

Pooh Bear I will never forget the day we first met 3 yrs.ago it was at a time of sorrow. You really help me get through that most difficult time, you often said I just want to put a smile on your face. You would just say off the wall things to help me get by and keep me laughing. Now as I watched you lay there. I said to myself who's going to help me get through this one. Who can I call when I'm feeling down now, I often catch myself getting ready to call you every time I see a Batman van I will think of you every time I see a caddy I will think of you every time I hear a song you like or sung I will think of you baby you will always be in my heart God may have you now. I still have all my memories. Pooh Bear I will wait for you to visit me in my dreams I LOVE you I will MISS you everyday. Now spread your angel wings in fly no more worries no more pain God got your back

Tina,

I pray that God provides you with enough strength to get through your sadness, brokenness and emptiness. Words cannot express your pain right now and I know that you feel like the world has stopped. Well, allow me to shine a little light for you today. I know your light is deem and I just wanted to inform you that our God is a God of uplifting the sadness, mending the broken and feeling that empty space that you feel right now. I encourage you to open your heart during this of sorrow and allow God to move through and around you. He is our light, comforter, protector, supporter, peace bearer and most of all our savior.

Father God, I come to you standing in the mist of my cousin storm asking that you provide her with your Arch Angels to guide her through this difficult time. Grant her understanding over this madness as you comfort her.

Show her your way Father God that she see and recognize that it is you that has her right now; touch her spirit my God as you show her the way to wholeness. God surround her with the right people for support remove anything unseen that might try to arise as she deal with the loss of her husband.In your son Jesus Chris holy name.
