Slim.. no matter how much time goes by it´s like you were here yesterday. I´m sure I´m not the only person who´s feeling this right now. We ALL miss you. I keep picking up the horn when I wanna talk but I gotta keep remembering you´re not on the other line. Keep rocking with me n my dreams. One day we will finish that talk. Until then rest easy and take care of Moms.

Love you ALWAYS.

Slim,

Its been 14 years and not a day goes by that I don't think of you. It still hurts like it was yesterday. Still looking for you.. Still trying to figure out where you are. Only to be broken after finding the truth. I know you're looking down on us from above but just know our hearts are STILL looking up at you. STILL remembering you. STILL loving you. You forever will be EVERYTHING that a Brother should be. Thanks for looking out for me. We lived by that code. Always Next 2 All Hearts...

Next 2 All hearts
Me and you we just the same .
If you got a heart
Hold your heart the same as me

Cuz I will bleed with ya
Share my grief with ya
Go on my knees with ya
So you never need G's with ya

Some will NEVER understand that...But we do.

Today has been one of the hardest for me in a long time. I thought that I would be okay. I've been having dreams about you. Us having talks again. BUT today of all days I woke up hurting... STILL trying to figure out why? All I know is that 5 years ago from today someone took my smile.. my older brother.. my BEST FRIEND.... and I cant seem to get my smile right. I will NEVER forget you Dee... NEVER.

Dee,

I gotta say this Mothers Day has been different. Mom cameback to DC to celebrate it. The last time I saw her on Mothers Day was when we threw her that cookout... The funny part about it was that she remembered it. It was the first thing she thought of. YOU. It was what I thought of. I think Jay and Ray being here with Tarrin made her feel so much better. It was like you were right here patting her back telling her "Ma its ok.. I got your back..." That was how it was .. That was how you were....I just want to say THANKS. Thanks for being who you were to me and more imporatntly for who you are (because you live on in all of our hearts) to everyone I love and care about.

Your Little Brother,
Ant

PS.. It breaks me down hearing little Jay holler "Uncle Ant" and I think back to Tarrin running down the stairs calling you when you come in the door, "Unlce Dee! Uncle Dee!"

Dad wassup I think about you every single day but me my shadow have been trying to do good I have really been trying hard. We both got jobs now but sometimes I think nobody sees it at all. I think about all kinds of stuff, like when you took me and my shadow to the park and just throw the ball. I always think about you when I’m on the field and when I line up. I miss you a lot and even though I met marlan I really don't feel complete without you, my daddy. I remember when you let me sit in your lap and let me drive, you know I was siced. The most part I miss is Christmas Day. You used to come in the room when me and Darion was knocked out and clap super loud and tell us "Wake Up its Christmas baby." Sometimes I would be in class and just daze off and think about you. But I know that i . got to be strong and live so I can enjoy life . But Kaylin been doing great, always got on a smile but I know you looking out. I haven’t talk to Jay in a while but I will soon though. Now I done reached that age were I’m thinking about a car and getting my permit, cuz Darion about to go get his and I can’t keep walking I’m ready to push. Well that not all but I just wanted to write you and say wassup.
I Love You Dad

February 14, 2008

This month has been one of the hardest Months ever for me. My schedule at work has been CRAZY but it has allowed me no time to think .. BUT when all is quiet and I am at home alone.... I think of my brother...I think of us....I think of times we spent... I think of all the times from playing football on 5th St with Louie, Reggie, Sonny and Keith to just "pushing" during the summer. Its hard to breath let alone live when such a large part of you is missing ... I am spread pretty thin between making sure Tarrin handles his business and becomes the kind of man that we always talked about... to trying to make sure Darion, Ray, Jay and Kay know that they have a lot to live up to and Im not going to stop pushing them. I dont know .. I just want you to know that there hasn t been a day that has passed that you havent been thought of or spoken of in some way... I really feel for the people in my life that never got the honor to meet you... You were one of a kind.. and I love you for that...

You talk about hollow victories....I went to the game today and left one of my seats empty .. Thinking you were there .. I wanted to laugh when the game was over.. Skins 27.. Cowgirls 6...BUT it hurt too much.. It wasnt the same... come to think of it ... Life isnt the same.. I miss you Dee... My Life will never be the same.. You were my smile... People cant understand why I want to be alone with myself during these times... BUT Its hard not knowing or even hearing you laugh.. and all that Cowgirl hype... You always took the good with the bad and never ducked my calls after these games... I want you to know ... No .. I need you to know I love you... and I will forever strive to be the kind of Man you are and the Kind of man you always wanted me to be...

You Little Brother,
Ant

Hi Darius,

I am sad for two reasons. One you are no longer here and two the Cowboys beat the Skins.

Most of all I know you are smiling in Heaven and that makes me feel a little better. I knew you were rooting for those Cowboys.

Dee,

This "thing" in my heart gets no lighter.. I ask myself does the pain of losing so much of myself ever go away? It doesnt... No matter what I do or achieve in life it will never take the place of you... I can never say THANK YOU enough for what youve given me.. years of thoughts and mere memories to cry and laugh at.. I love you... You are not only my brother but you will always be my BESTFRIEND.. that friendship will last even unto death.

Hey! Hon
Jeremiah and I miss you deeply.

Today, Jay and I buried my great-Aunt Bee. I sometimes wonder why! But, I just don't question the WILL of GOD.

One year has past and another year will be added. Darius, I look at our son every day and he reminds me of you in so many ways. U are truly "MISSED" by your family and friends. Keep looking down on your sons, and daughter; assure them that you will always be with them in spirit and have a light that shines on them marking you! I just can remember it clear as it was yesterday, running/working out with my PGPD co-workers, after, I lost my god-sister 1 day before you. My Heart just drop and it couldn't take it NO MORE! But, I continue with GOD's Strength and Will to raise our son in the way you will be a proud father.

I continue to pray for your father as he lost his son and your brother(Ant) as everyday he takes so, so, so, so, many memories that ya'll shared growing up together hard and he sometimes can't believe that you are gone.

God will continue to give everybody strength to go on in life, but remember the smile that you gave, the crazy jokes that you shared, but, most important an true friend that we could talk too! U were indeed, "A SHINY STAR".

Thanks for giving me our son.

DARIUS, Jeremiah and I WILL ALWAYS LOVE U!

Hey Dee!

Christmas is past and Jay is really enjoying the gift from your brother... making a whole lot of noise and driving me crazy! but I know you can see him from heaven. Just continue to look down on him and give him the assurance that you are with him forever... I continue to show him pictures of you and he will reply "that's daddy, I want his hat" so of course he has plenty of hats.. especially the red one that he adores. Well, I just wanted to share those words today and I know that you are doing GREAT in heaven... Keep balling on the court... since basketball was one of your favorite games.

December 20, 2006

Christmas is coming ... I know the hustle and bustle of life...It gets a little hard not hearing you talk about what you have to get the "bay bays" I find myself when Im at home alone, thinking about you and our Christmas's. How the boys wanted to stay up all night and try to get their gifts at 2am. Craziness!! What Im missing most right now is your laugh. It was something I always treasured .. It was my sign that everything was going to be alright.. and I needed that. Now here I am .. Accomplished some of the dreams we talked about but still feel empty... It hurts... I cant remember a day that has gone by where I havent thought about you.. The problem is when I think too hard about it.. The anger in me rises .. How dare some soft.. country... let me leave that alone.... Im getting angry now.. No dare touching us... I just want you to know that I feel you.. You are in my heart.. You will always live there.. I will make your chilren remember you.... ALWAYS.. Ive got so much love for you... My heart could burst...

Your Brother Forever,
Ant

Well Darius I know its been awhile since we spoke but I felt I needed to talk to you now! Maybe you can help us... I thought I was doing good for me and our son, I had moved out of mothers house and into my own place. Had a good paying job, things was going great for us! Now everything seems to be going down hill the rent, car note, etc. for due. I cant even have a descent Christmas for our son. Its hurts me everyday knowing that I cant provide for him the way I want too! All I'm asking from you is could you please shine a little light on us for our son's first Christmas...

We love you conditional,
Cecilia and Davian

Dee

This has to be THE hardest week since you left. Nana passed on Monday... I have been staring at the screen trying to form the words that you know my heart already feels. I cant believe I lost two of the most influentual people in my life in one year. We always talked about the fact that we both believed Nana would live forever. We grew up hard BUT we did know that Nana was LOVE. No matter how hard things got .. whether it was the grind or school or whatever.. We always had to have our guard up BUT with Nana it was always Love.. You never had to do that... Us two "brothers" sitting on the bench in the kitchen where Nana fed all of us.. I still dont know how she did it... Anyway I guess what im trying to say is in a way God has Blessed you this day and bought another spirit that you know will welcome you with open arms of love. When you see her tell her how much I miss her and love her.. You always knew how to get to her first....Simply Dee... Simply Dee.. I love you big brother and I miss you... Tell Nana I guess she knows about the cake now ..

Hey Dee-

I know it has taken me too long to write something down for you but it

has taken this long for me to actually come to terms with the fact that you have moved on. Since I really know you through your brother, I am left sad for you but extremely sad that he is left here to pick up the pieces without you. I remember a time when I used to see you on almost a daily basis and you always had a joke or two to tell me. I am so glad that Ant had you and you extended your kindness for me through your love for your brother. I wish you well in the transition from earth to heaven. I am sure you are dearly missed and I am proud to be included in the people who had the opportunity to meet your acquaintance. I will be here as a good friend for Ant to make sure he

continues to weather this storm and that he comes through all of this

safe and sound. Rest in Peace!

Hey! Country

I am sitting here at work just thinking about you and looking at your picture with Jay and Kayla. I have been down in spirit since friday and Jay and I came to visit you on Sunday to drop off flowers and a card for you. Darius, I really miss your smile and that red hat you loved to wear. Everytime you came around or if i saw you on the street, you had on that red hat, white tee, and some sort of dark blue jeans.. because you always kept the "Fresh" brand new white teeshirt in the back of your trunk.. if you spilled something on it.. you will go to the back of your trunk and get another one out..or go to the store and buy one.. I admire how you where just a clean man.

I just wish that you were here on earth... I went to dad's house on Sunday after Jay and I left you ... he said he was looking for the title on the ford and he took moment to talk with me and play with jay... I know that dad is missing you so so so so much... and he always try to keep his spirits up but i know he have his moments just like everyone else does...i just ask the Lord to keep filling our heart with happy times of you. oh! U should see how Jay all excited to go into dad's house and chase after Bandit.. trying to pull the dog's tail and bandit goes and try to hide from Jay.

I know i keep saying that i wish you were here... because i want you here. I am crying now! and getting emotional at work... i got to go.. cuz i can say so much but i am emotional attached right now....

I love you and keep watching over Jay.

We will see each other again.. then i am going to say " punch buggy, not punch back" to the stomach (smile)

Later Dee!

August 21, 2006

I cant believe that I couldnt just call you late on Saturday and tell you Happy Birthday.. and that your birth was a Blessing to so many. Man, I had to take off from work just to sit out and think about what you are to me and so many... I only pray that I can one day touch so many as you have touched me and everyone else.. Im going to make sure they dont forget you.. I promise you that.... Thanks for being there for me and everyone else.. and as you used to always say because you couldnt bring yourself to say it.. I got a rack of love for you Dee... and respect.

August 17, 2006

Dee,

Man I am sitting here and waiting on Sunday. I remember last year gving you that cookout on your Birthday. It was funny because you thought you were there for someone else's party. I remember now the reason why you were here. You werent here just to merely give people a laugh but to also make their hearts smile. I felt your absence yesterday I needed to take care of some business but I had no one to ride with me. I kept thinking my shotgun is gone. My back is gone. It seem like every time I needed you you were there. You may not have come exactly when i needed you but you were nonetheless there. Like when Pops and I loaded my stuff from the apartment by ourselves because no one showed up to help. We drove that UHAUL to the new house and Pops looked at me like, "How are we going to get that stuff off the truck, Im dead tired" .. and you pulled up in the alley with Nel' Jamie.. Jr.. and Gene... My brother ......always there... You didnt even call you just knew I needed you. I need you now. Help me Dee. This pain wont ever go away. I try to hide it. BUT it effects every part of my life. Something is missing from my happiness. My rainbow doesnt have all the colors.. Youre gone and Im trying to come to grips with it BUT it hurts. There's just too much I dont understand.. Just keep on my back. Help me through.. The Lord Im sure is going to use you. Pray for Moms .. She hasnt fully accepted it yet...Pray for Pop.. hes trying to maintain around the Big House' but I see the hurt in his eyes... I gotta go Ill hit you up again. One heartbeat. One Family.

Hey! Country
This is L (aka. Dark & Lovely). I know that it is a long time for me to write something to you, but, it has been hard for me to accept that you are gone for good on earth in the flesh but NEVER in the spirit. I think that as our little man (Jeremiah) grows up he is going to ask me "where is his daddy?" Funny, I have this picture with you with a low cut with NO BRAIDS and he takes that picture in our living room and say "Daddy" and I reply, Yup that is he. Jay will just smile and act all crazy, jumping up and down, just being silly. U should see Jay in church clapping his hands, being & staying on beat with the music, catching the spirit and my lord our son loves the drums basically anything that brings out music. He is growing up to be a handsome young man at the age of 2 years old... I am glad that you guys did spend some time with each other before some earthly no good vessal took you away from your family and children. Some nites i lay down and just think about the things that you were going through and you know that i always gave you words of encouragemnet with alittle of wisdom following behind that. Country I know that you are looking down on everyone that was dear to you especially your kids. I thank you for giving me big head Jay. U will be proud of what i am doing taking care of him. I have a GREAT SUPPORT SYSTEM that is amazing that anybody can want. Next, year there are some changes that is coming in our lifes but i will send and talk to you in prayer about that. But, you will see as you look down on us. and U would be grateful of it. Oh! I resign from PG Police on Jay birthday. I just didn't want to take that extra risk being on the street knowing that our son have only one living parent. I am doing GREAT now.. Back in the governement and just can't complain. I see weekends and holidays now... NO more working on those days.. I spend more and more time with Jay and he is loving every bit of it.. well I am work and i have to go into this meeting with the other AO's and I will hit u on your birthday coming up.. Its funny that you and my sister are born on the same month, day and year. WOW!

I love you always and I just want you to know that Jeremiah loves you Too!!!

Stay humble in heaven...

Since you had all this wisdom and people looked up to you...
Tell Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, and Luther Vandross I said whutz up and I know you guys are having a mighty great time...

One day we will meet again.

Dee,

I think this summer has been the hardest thing I have ever gone through in my life. My heart is saddened because I wake up every day thinking that this is all a "bad dream". That Im going to wake up and hear my cell go off with you yelling in my ear "T.O. baby!! Americas team!".. I keep thinking Im going to hear you talk about how Im at work missing "all this summer" and how I should "get some summer in my life". This was certainly your season. Big brother you knew how to live. You knew every day was precious and you tried to fill every hour of each day of your life with happiness.. I used to envy that about you. How could someone always be happy? Always laughing with everything going crazy about them...?? I loved you for that ...Your peace made me feel at peace. I loved the "talks" about our lives and what we were doing and where we were at. When you left those conversations I could never understand how in the world you knew so much about life...?? Now my heart is where it is.. and theres no one there for those talks.. It took me almost 4 months to actually look "Baby Kay" in the face ... It hurt so much because I saw you. Im sorry for that. To sit and hear her laugh without a worry in the world made me and my heart cry. Thats YOU. You lived like that. I look in Darion and Rays face and their hearts and listen to their conversations and I hear you. I hear the little "jewels" they think they are dropping on me and I smile because thats you. Those were "jewels" you had already dropped. You did a heck of a job. Now Im working on trying to build up my heart to look and enjoy your other gift, Jeremiah. I see you in him also...I know most who read this wont understand BUT this is supposed to be an intimate conversation or letter of sorts. Heaven is different for each one of us.. and I know what your heaven is.. See you on Willard St NW. Where it all began. Where we felt peace. The peace we chased after as grown men. Willard St is your heaven and thank you for allowing me to know that hearing your voice and growing up with you was part of my heaven. I love you always. I gotta go the tears are starting to fall and I cant do this at work...

I had to take a moment out on Mother's Day to share a few things with you, Dee! I always pictured myself being a mother, but I never pictured not having my son's father around on my first Mother's Day. Its hard knowing that you, Dee will never be here helping to raise our son Davian. I cry all the time wishing you were still here. Thinking to myself how am I going to make it on my own. I know you will see me through it. If only I could hear your voice just one more time. Just telling me that everything is going to be alright. I want you to hold me one last time and say just be strong "Pretty" for yourself and our son!

Today Davian is now 3 months old. He looks just like you, with a big smile like you had! Every time I mention your name to him, its like he understands who you are. All of your boys from around the way have been showing me nothing but love, so I would like to thank them. Most important thank you Dee for blessing me with apart of you. Sorry you never had the chance to ever see your son before you moved on, but I no your watching over him! Dee, I cant say it enough I love you and I will always miss you!!!

Unconditional Love,

Pretty CC

U will be truly missed. But at least I have my personal memories of You, Darius Mandell Jones. It was a blessing to have known you, and even a greater blessing that u touched my heart so much that I named my son after you...so there is another walking around with your name. It's amazing how one can leave such a mark on others. Rest in peace my friend. Lots of love!!

I first want to extend my condolences and prayers to the family and friends of Darius Jones. Though I only new him for a brief time, Darius was someone I considered a friend. He always knew how to put a smile on the faces of everyone surrounding him. He will truly be missed. God Bless and my prayers will be with you.

Darius, I just found out Friday that you are gone. I am so hurt. You were such a good person, and you always made me laugh. You always had nice things to say, and I really feel that your heart was true. I am going to miss your smile, and hearing you say "Holla at ya boy, Pretty." I know that God makes no mistakes, but I think in this case, he did. He took you too soon. You were so young, and you had so much more living to do. I feel blessed to have known you. I know that you are watching over us from heaven. I will ALWAYS be your biggest cheerleader.Go Cowboys! I will always love you, my beautiful, black Prince!

Dee,

Sorry it took me so long to respond. Its kinda hard knowing your not here anymore in the present. But whats even harder is not knowing if you can see how your baby boy is doing. He will never get to you, but he will always know of you. Sorry you didnt get to see him, but I know he sees you when he is sleep cause he is always smiling. It will be hard doing it on my own but I know you will always be right there when I need you. You will always have a place in my heart and you will never be forgotten. Love you!!!

Unconditional Love,

Pretty CC

My condolences goes out to the Jones family. It is always a void in our hearts when we loose a loved one. Have faith in our Heavenly Father and hold tight to His Kingdom Hope. It has been approximately 18 years since I last saw Darius, but my memories are like yesterday (3rd Street) Hi Sandy.....

Wow, this us hard to swallow, I can not believe Darius is gone just thinking back to elementary and how he used to be with my cousin's and brother and accepting me as his little sister. Always being there to make you laugh and he was always smiling. Darius you brought joy to everyone around you. You may gone from the body but you will forever remain in our hearts.

REST IN PEACE

My prayers and heartfelt condolences I extend to the family of Darius Jones. Although I've never met him, nor talked with him, I knew of him. Just by the way his brother Antoine spoke of him, he was truly a loving and funny person.

GOD won't put more on you than you can bare and HE does all things well. To all of Darius's family and friends, I pray your strength in the LORD. There is no sadness JESUS can not heal, and because of this I KNOW you can make it!

You're extended family in Philly...

(For we're all of GOD's children),

Praying for you always...

I extend my deepest condolences to the Jones family. I regret that I am just learning of Darius' services. However, Darius will always hold a special place in my heart. I think about "D" every day.

"D" was a great friend. I could always count on him for great conversation and humor. Hence, I made sure that I talked to him at least a few times a week. Right now, my heart is aching. I know that "D" is an Angel, who wil watch over all of us.

To my Big Brother,

You always looked out for me and told me you were proud of me going to school. It hurt me hard to hear you were gone. I will miss you too much. You will always be my child's honorary Godfather because I'll see you as our Angel in the sky. I know that you will watch over me and my child from up there as you watched over me out here. RIP-THE BEST BIG BROTHER

My condolences go out to the family of Darius ("D"). I will always remember and miss those laughs we had over the phones with the boy's battling because he and I both LOVE THOSE COWBOY's. I will continue to keep the family in prayer. GOD BLESS

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Darius better known just as D to me. When I think about D, I can't help but remember good times when talking to him on the phone or seeing him in person. He was always an upbeat individual everytime you saw him. If anyone knew D, he was always one to make you laugh. We battled all the time about the Cowboys and Skins. Everyone knew he loved the Cowboys. He'll be missed. To the family I say God will never put more on you than you handle.

I would like to send my condolences to the Jones Family. Darius was my boys (Darrius & Denzel) Uncle for a short period in this life, but he will hold a special part in our hearts forever.

I will cherish our conversations mainly via cell phone. Darius was a diehard Dallas Cowboy's Fan and he knew I was a Redskin's Fan so we had our debates.

Most of all I knew Darius loved everyone especially all the children.

Family keep your heads up and remember God is there for you during the ups and downs.

Love,

Marcella
