To the Batson and Colbert Family: Lamente will be greatly missed. I remember when he was a little boy running around and always had that cute little smile on his face while we all was partying and having a great time. Always remember god knows best.

Daddy,

The last time I spoke with you was thursday. The day before you passed away, you told me you love me, and my mommy will never let me forget that. I LOVE YOU too.

Lamente,

I still can't believe that you are really gone. Every day that goes by I still think that the phone is going to ring and it will be you on the other end just so I can hear your voice one last time. It is so hard every day but I know I have to be strong for Lyric and for myself. I miss you and love you very much and can't wait till the day when I can see you again.

Just Call On Me


I can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel
For the loss of someone you love.
This sorrowful time must still feel unreal
And you’re looking for strength from above.


I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease,
That your spirit will gain strength again,
And I pray that your faith will create inner peace
And that God will send blessings--Amen.


Till then, if you need me to lighten your load,
I’m waiting to come to your aid.
Just call on me, and I’ll walk down that road,
Until the dark times start to fade.


Deep condolences
