I was never sure what to write. So I didn't. There really aren't any words to describe the sweet, innocent, angel that you are. Your smile and your cool, calm, collected nature will never be forgotten. I looked at your pictures today and immediately began to cry and think to myself why??? But then I remembered...It's said that everything happens for a reason and you should never question why...so I won't. You will always be loved, missed, and remembered in our hearts. Love always & forever...Jarra and Bri

Hi sweetheart, today is exactly one year ago this void in our lives began. As I was preparing to take Dontre camp, my phone rang, just as it did when your mommy called with the sad news. Today is extremely hard and I don't know how we will get through it. God said that he will carry us through difficult times and that is where our faith will lie on this very difficult day. I recall the day when you said that "you were so black because the doctor gave you a needle" that memory still "cracks me up" still today! The ability you had to make a person a person laugh was just one of the many talents God blessed you with. Oh and not to mention that million dollar smile, that everyone loved. As today, tomorrow and everyday thereafter go on, the memories we hold will be replayed time and time again. God couldn't have chosen a sweeter angel to join his team in heaven. You had a gift that everyone recognized early on in your life and God needed that gift to shine upon heaven. EJ, we love you and the pain of you leaving here is no easier today, as it was on this day one year ago. We miss you baby!!

Loving you Always, Aunt Tracy

Hi Ej. Its 12:08am and its now been 1yr since you passed. I'm sitting here crying my heart out. I miss you so much. Words can't explain it. I was looking at pictures of you today and I just can't believe it. When grandma called me screaming I didn't want to believe what she was saying. It just wasn't real to me until I saw you laying there in that bed in an eternal rest. My heart dropped and then I knew that it was real. The whole ride over to the hospital I was saying to myself and god that everyone was just overreacting that you was alright. I just didn't want to face the truth. Now its been a year and I'm still hurting like it was yesterday. Good night Ej.

Hey Baby, It's already been a year since God called you to your new home. It was hard for a long time, but I was told not to be selfish and be thankful for the blessing God has shared with us.Though you were here a short time, the essence of your presence presented joy and happiness. Your smile was the symbolism which was the blessing in it self.Until we meet again...I LOVE YOU EJ...Please remember to tell God that I really am grateful for all that he has put me through. Grandmommy, Val, Isaac, Joseph,Mommy, Joshua, Kemi,Jessica, and Ricky all said to tell you hello. God Truley gave our family a wonderful blessing the day he blessed us all with you. LOVE ALWAYS BIG CUZZO EISHA

June 23, 2009

EJ, I have dreaded this time for a very long time. It came too fast just as the ending of your life here on earth. God has kept the family strong but its nit a day that goes by where someone doesn't fall apart. You are and always will be a very special child. During your short stay your presence made such imapact on so many lives. We miss you so much!! Its hard to think of you without sharing tears! I love you EJ and can't wait to see you again !!!

Uncle Joe-Joe

June 22, 2009

Damn I cant believe it's been a year already. It seems like yesterday you was running around playing and now Im mourning for you right now. Wow!!!!!!!! Boy I miss you so much. Uncle Joe-Joe will always love you and I'll never forget you.

MY son I t has been aloooonnnnngggg almost year I can't even type this letter to you without shedding tears I LOVE YOU SON there are no words to explain I may not let everyone know how I feel up and willing But It hurts so bad inside Thank God I have the family and friends I do have . Everyday I talk to you I feel you I smell you I see you God allowed me to see you smiling in my sleep and that was a sign that you where ok .But the human nature will not let us except things like that the Pastor told me ,Ms. Caulfield that is not your son because if it was he would be walking around and calling your name God has him now and now you have to live right so you can make it to him. I understand life is short and life is not promised so live right. I cant believe it I will never never never let any one forget you. Your sister LOVES YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH SON words cant even explain you and her went together like peanut butter and jelly well not that cause you don't lke that but more like Fish and salad LOL... I love you Miss you Just wish I could Kiss you right now I will again.

Hey EJ...It's your big cuzzo Eisha...I remember like yesterday when you and Ni Ni would be in my car playing in the back seat...or what about the first time you said my name right...By the way I love the original way best...but it was like music to my ears...Well it's the day after Christmas and I could only imagine the fun your having with everything you've ever wanted...I got what I wanted as well...and with that, I realize how blessed I am to know a special guy like you with the perfect smile that is like a lasting imprint that can be saved whenever I'm was feeling down to lift me right back up...right now I'm crying because I know your in a better place...they are tears of joy...~*I promise you they are...~*Really. ~* But what I miss most is how you were always polite to me...~*the list of great memories goes on and on and on.~*Don't worry I have already shared most of them with you...till next time *~EJ..I LOVE YOU BABY~*.....Cuzzo Eisha

December 25, 2008

Good Morning EJ it about 7:30 am and it Christmas morning and while i was rounding up Ni Ni's gifts i was thinking about you and what you would want for Christmas. But i know you got everything you want and need where your at right now so i just want to say I LOVE YOU and Merry Christmas.

Auntie Nika

December 24, 2008

Hey EJ well you know Christmas is tomorrow and when i was shopping i saw so much spiderman stuff and only if i could pick the stuff up and wrap it and give it to you on Christmas morning. It's so hard knowing that you aren't here and i miss you so much. It's been 6 months exactly today and i still cant believe it. When i'm on the train listening to my ipod and the song "FALLING SOLIDERS" or "FOOT PRINTS" plays i tear up and i just think about that morning that i got that call from grandad that you had passed away and i thought my ears was deceiving me when he told me that i thought he was talking about a friend of ours that lives in Rose Valley but he said no its your nephew and i'm tearing up now just thinking about that day. So i just wanted to say that Auntie loves you and really, really miss you and Merry Christmas.

We carry your memories in our hearts everyday! oh and I have all your photos hanging in my office for all the world to see! People always comment on how handsome you are!

Auntie Nike

October 16, 2008

Nephew
Just still cant believe it, its been what 3 months and 21 days since you left us. Grandad told me on sunday that when he went to pick nini up from school he saw a little boy that look just like you with the big bright ,white smile and eyes and then he teared up. He's still in shock himself your big 5x7 picture is on his dash board so eveyone can see it. I got one blown up with a message saying "That you are loved and will be missed" because that is the truth.I have your picture posted all around my room i even have one on my desk at work so everyone can see your big white smile. We sit around and talk about the good old days when you were here and we still laugh because we had some good old times. I use to call you chocolate thunder but everyone said that that sounds like a stripper name LOL. Auntie loves you a will never ever forget you.

Hey Ej! Daja called ur name in her sleep the other and still carries ur picture around. We miss u boo! U are greatly missed babes...

Aunt Tracy

October 6, 2008

EJ: I keep wondering why God called you home so soon and the only reason I have come up with was God needed a Special Angel to embrace heaven. He knew that your smile would touch the lives of many in heaven, as it did while you were here on earth. The pain of not seeing you is so devastating to many. You are missed so much! I think of you everyday no matter where I am. Whenever, I see NiNi she reminds me of something you would do or say. The memories I have for you will live in my heart forever! I miss u and keep smiling until we meet again! I love you!!

EJ it's been 3 months and 1 week and i still can't believe you are not here. It is very hard that you are not here. I just knew that on the first day of school you and nini would tell me how your day was and what you did that day but by only hearing nini's response to those two question hurt me dearly because i wanted to hear your response as well.On the first day of school your mother called me crying because of the fact that you weren't here and that how she is use to dropping you and nini off at school but that day she only dropped off nini. I told her that even though you aren't here physically you are still looking over watching our every move and making sure we are all ok. But i will keep saying it that I LOVE AND WILL MISS YOU DEARLY.

Aunt Tracy

August 28, 2008

Its been a very hard week EJ knowing how forward you were looking to starting Kindergarten. I still can't believe that you are no longer physically here with us. However, I know that your memories will live on in my heart forever! As you smile down on your sister daily EJ, I know that you will encourage her to do her very best while in school, just as you did. The family misses you so much!! There is not a day that goes by that I not share a memory of you with someone. I love you and just keep embracing heaven with that million dollar smile until we meet again.

DEBORAH CAULFIELD

I will never forget the day that I heard my mother screaming and crying in the phone. Never in a million years would I believe that on the other end my sister would tell me the devastating news. This was one of the few times I have ever been left speechless. My heart first goes out to the Caulfield and Wright families because you to are my extended family. Anyone that knows my family knows that Tanika and those kids were apart of mine. I remember him and niya being born, them growing up so quickly, picturing them matriculating into such a wonderful life ahead of them. EJ you are truly and will forever be missed! My mother talks everyday about how she watched you when you were younger and how u were able to put your foot in your mouth! Sssoooo innocent....However, through all the sadness that is surronded around your passing there is some good that comes from this as well. My family will take from this the importance of family and how u cherish and remind people of what they mean to you when everyone is here on earth. I have already told my father along with some other relatives to look out for your angel as he in return will now watch over us,..... I luv you all very much and we are here always.......

It is never easy on a family to loose someone, and a child is even harder. You will still be in everyone's heart that knew you or was blessed by your presence. You will play in GOD's mansion and grow up to be a strong boy in Heaven. Remember you will never be forgotten and always loved. I've known your family for over 15 years and the memories of you and them will always have a place in my heart and prayers.
