Phyllipe still in love!

December 17, 2025

Here we are, Sweet, our 31st anniversary. Look at us. How young, how happy, how much in love we were. You were so handsome on our wedding day. We thought we would go on like that forever. Well, at least as you always said, until you were 82. And even though we didn't get that much time, the time we had together was beautiful. We shared so much of the góod times, and some not so good. But through it all, we had each other and that's what matters most. I cherish all those years and count them all as blessings in my life. I couldn't have asked for a better man and more loving husband than the one God gave me when He blessed me with you. This is the 4th anniversary I've spent without your physical presence, but you're always here with me in spirit. I love you, Sweet, and always will. Happy Heavenly Anniversary.

Yours always, Phyllipe

Happy Thanksgiving, Sweet. I know that's a strange thing to say but that's what I would say if you were here. And since I always feel as if you are still here with me, it's really not so strange after all. Not to me anyway. This is a day to give thanks and to be thankful. I am thankful that I was able to spend this Thanksgiving with Crystal and her family at her house. I don't think I ever told you that Crystal and Tweze got married. And then M'mah Mary and Ravi got married about a month after them. You would have been so proud of both of them. They looked up to you so much for the love, guidance and wisdom they could only find in you. You brought that great gift into every family member's life, and some who had the great fortune to know you as a friend. You are missed beyond measure, Sweet. And I am eternally thankful, honored, and blessed to have been a part of your life as your Wife. Forever and always will I love you .

My dear Sweet husband, time has not diminished the pain in my heart, nor the memories of you and the time we shared together. I still love you as much as I always have. Your loving heartbroken wife.

Phyllis, your always and forever.

Happy 77th Heavenly Birthday, Sweet. I really really miss you today. But I really really miss you every day. And when it's your birthday or our anniversary, it's extra sad. I still find it incredulous that you're not here. And I'm not the only one. The grandkids are always talking about you and telling funny stories about things you've said and done and how much an impact you made on their lives. Today was one of those days, so in following tradition, we sent some balloons up to you to honor and celebrate you. Happy Birthday my always and forever Love.

Happy Valentine's Day Sweet. You know I'm really missing you today. This was a very special day for us. I miss your hugs. Your kisses. Your support. Your thoughtfulness. Your advice. Your voice of reason (always). Your patience. Your protection. Your love. Your big heart, not just for me, but for everyone you cared about. Your listening ear. Your kindness. Your ability to create the best memories. Your strength. Your caring nature. Your loyalty. Your understanding. Your laughter and smile. Your corny jokes. Your reassuring voice. Your encouragement. But most of all, Sweet, I just miss you and all that you were and still are to me.

Still & forever your loving wife, Phyllipe

Merry Christmas, Sweet, in Heaven. Today was such a weird day. At no point did it ever feel like Christmas. I didn't put up any decorations, no tree, didn't send out any cards, didn't shop for gifts, and didn't feel guilty for any of it. I know the people at the Post Office is wondering why they didn't get their pumpkin cranberry bread this year, but I still may make some this weekend. Just can't get the holiday spirit without you. It was just another day today. One thing I did do this holiday season was go to a wedding. In Jamaica! Winfield finally found the right person for him and got married there. He invited me and Erin. In fact, the only way I was able to go was because Erin and her husband bought my ticket as a Christmas present. I was glad I went. And I took you along with me! My constant traveling companion, your red sweatshirt hoodie, was right there with me. Which meant you were there, too. Always beside me. Your presence there was felt just as strong as it does at home. I vow to always keep you near me. I love you more today than yesterday. Forever in my heart .

Happy 30th Heavenly Anniversary, Sweet. I started looking at our wedding pictures today, actually I started looking at them last night and looked at them again today. I smiled at how young we both were, how happy we were that day, and so much in love. Then, I started thinking about those nights in Adams Morgan when we first met, strolling up and down 18th Street and Columbia Road, browsing in stores (I still have those jazz musician earrings you bought me from one of those stores), and just enjoying the summer and fall nights. I get the sweetest thoughts of you. I think of you ALL the time, and on this, the 3rd Anniversary that we're not celebrating together, it breaks my heart. I feel so lost living inside myself without your love. I try so hard to get past those memories and thoughts, but my heart and mind just won't let me. I remember how sometimes we'd end up at Fasika's Ethiopian Restaurant, sometimes at Eugertha's Jazz Club on Georgia Avenue, or maybe even at Blues Alley in Georgetown where we caught Phyllis Hyman performing and she was eating shrimp off people's plates. So funny! You asked her to sing "Loving You - Losing You" and she did!! Memories of you fill my mind every day and they're what keeps me going. And though those memories can be painful, they also warm my heart and make me smile. So, I just keep moving on, walking a lot slower, but walking towards you. I love you, Sweet.

Missing u every day Baba

September 7, 2024

Hey Sweet. Here we are at this day again. Two years! How did 2 years get here so fast? Seems like it was only 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months. And it feels like that because my grief is still 2 real for it to be 2 years. I don't even try to explain how I feel to people anymore. They look at me as if to say "you're still in mourning??" My answer to their looks is "yes, I am!!" I still miss and grieve my husband. EVERY DAY!! I want to say just because you hear me laugh, and I don't show you my tears, doesn't mean I'm not crying still from a broken heart. It's been 12 years since Quel went to heaven and I'm still grieving her, so 2 years is like yesterday to me after you slipped away early in the morning on September 7th, 2022. There's also been a lot of tears shed for other young family members. Michael, Ernie's son, passed right after you on Thanksgiving Day. Then, her other son, Kevin, passed this April. Right now, I'm in Maryland because we lost Carla, Sandra's daughter, a few weeks ago and her funeral was yesterday. So, I am sad all the time for the loss of so many. No one knows how deep the pain of losing someone so close to you as the one who has to bear the burden of that loss. And that's why this day brings me such acute pain. Dolly called me this morning because she knew I would be having a hard time today. I love her for doing that because she is enduring her own pain from the loss of you. Ok, enough about pain and sorrow. That's always going to be a part of my life, which is why your red Sweatshirt is with me right now at Trina's house. That raggedy sweatshirt that you always wore, travels with me everywhere, every time I go somewhere. I always have you with me that way. So, it's either covering a pillow on our bed at home, or it's laying beside me on another bed. Until we meet again, Sweet, I will always love you and cherish your memory.

Birthday dinner at Pappadeaux

Happy 76th Birthday, Sweet. This is your second birthday in heaven. I still celebrate you here at home. I do that because I still feel your presence. All the time. Thank you for not REALLY leaving me. It's a great comfort knowing you're still here, and that our love still lives on. I don't know about anyone else, but I miss all those silly jokes you would make up. Nobody laughed harder at them than you, especially the "FMF" joke . Chris and I always talk about how much you love . And that's because now HE eats chicken all the time. One day this week he said he ate chicken for breakfast, lunch and dinner!! But nobody enjoyed their chicken more than you. We all miss your chicken 'n dumplings. I'll be sending some balloons up today for you and Quel. And since we can't go to Pappadeaux for your birthday today, I'm sending a memory from another birthday. Until we meet again, I love and miss you. Phyllipe

Happy Valentine Day, Sweet. It's unbelievable that we're here at our second Valentine Day apart. Never would I have imagined this would happen so soon to us. We had a lot of plans of things we still wanted to do and places we wanted to go. I still do not understand why this had to happen to you, but I am so very proud to say you are my husband still, the greatest man I have ever known. And now you're my ever-present guardian Angel. I feel your presence everywhere. Sometimes, when I'm driving home from work, I swear it feels like you're right there. When I'm in the kitchen or upstairs in our bedroom, I find myself turning around and expecting you to be standing there. So, as my Angel, spread your wings out wide and when you see me feeling low and lonely (which is all the time), and missing you like I am today, wrap those mighty wings around me and comfort me like only you can. I love you, Sweet. Until we meet again, your loving wife, Phyllipe.

Happy 29th Anniversary in Heaven, Sweet. It's so hard to believe this is our second anniversary since you went away and it was just last year that you took your wings. It was such a sad and lonely day without you to celebrate our special day. Who would have ever thought 29 years ago that I'd be living in Georgia, of all places, by myself and wondering what happened to the life we envisioned for us. But here I am, still trying my best to make it through each day without you. It's not easy. Memories invade my mind and hit me right in the heart. What gets me through is talking to you and I start feeling better. I feel your presence all the time, Sweet, especially at night when I grab your pillow that I put your red sweatshirt on. It really helps me relax and get to sleep. Now I know why you loved that shirt so much. It sure brings me a lot of comfort. Still missing you and loving you every day my forever husband, from your forever wife , Phyllipe.

Sweet, it's hard to believe it's been one year already since I last held your hand and looked into your eyes. Little did we know that night before we fell asleep that the angels would come for you early in the morning. I never wanted to be without you. Your love brought me much happiness and your strength and protection gave me all the assurance and confidence I needed to know that I was truly loved. And in return, I loved and honored you as a devoted wife should. You were my everything. Still are. And although you are no longer with me in the physical life, I still feel your presence and love. Your death has left a gaping hole in my life and in my heart that I fill with the love and memories we shared. You were more than a husband to me, you were my best friend. Sweet, I want you to know that you are never out of my heart or thoughts. I will always love and cherish you, even in death. Your forever wife, .

Sweet, today we would have been celebrating the 33rd anniversary of the night we met at Lefty's. That night has become one of the most special memories of my life. So much has happened in those last 33 years. We shared a lot of beautiful memories and also a lot of loss and grief. But none of those grievous events compare to the loss of losing you. The world looks different now. I am now looking through the eyes of a widow. Still in love with my husband, but a widow nonetheless. Pictures that once brought smiles now bring tears and pain. Yet, I keep looking at them. Not that I'll ever forget what you look like, but I look at them to keep you close to me and it helps to see your face when I'm talking to you. Sometimes it just feels like everything is over for me. Like I'm just waiting for my time to be over. As it surely will be one day. I used to feel so afraid of dying but I'm over that now. I know that life as I knew it is over. In the deepest levels of my existence, something is finished, done. There was a moment in our lives together of special warmth and intimacy, a moment when I specially prized and adored and loved you. I say moment because it was all over too soon. We didn't get to you reaching 82 like you promised. We only had a moment in time. A moment I will treasure forever. I love you, Sweet. Happy 33rd Anniversary.

Your forever wife, Phyllipe

Hello Sweet. Today is May 14, 2023. It's Mother's Day today. I really missed not seeing beautiful roses waiting for me when I came downstairs today. You always gave me the most beautiful roses and flowers on special occasions, and you always managed to find the best cards. I still have every card you have ever given me for the past 32 and a half years. You know, Sweet, the day I lost you, I also lost me. I've been trying to find myself, but it's hard. It's hard because you were a big part of my life. Actually, you were the biggest part of my life and not having you here is so painful. I'm not just me anymore. I'm sad, lonely and lost.

Still loving you through the pain.

Happy 75th birthday, Sweet! It's your first birthday in heaven. I wish you could be celebrating it here with me at home, but since you're celebrating with Jesus, I guess that's okay. Plus, you have your mother, father, Louis, Putney, Quel and all the other family members and ancestors that have gone on before you to celebrate with. I know y'all are having a grand time. I rejoice in the knowledge that one day I'll be celebrating eternal birthdays with you. But until then, and for this special birthday, I am celebrating it with Cindy and Terry. I couldn't bear to be at home alone on your birthday so I'm with friends that love and miss you so very much. Cindy and I shared so many wonderful memories of you today. Those memories and more are ingrained in my heart and in my mind. This is the first time in many, many years that we didn't go to Pappadeaux for your birthday. I don't know if I'll ever be able to go back there again. And if I did, I'd never be able to enjoy it as much as we did together. That was YOUR favorite place. So on this special day that you were born, April 26, 1948, I thank the Lord for allowing you into my life and bringing joy and happiness where there was none. We'll be sending balloons up to you filled with love like we sent to Quel last week for her birthday. I love you, Sweet. Happy birthday until we meet again. Your loving wife, Phyllipe.

Happy Easter, Sweet. I thought of you today and remembered how much you loved Easter. You would smile and say the house was transformed overnight because of the Easter bunnies and baskets and the candy that seemed to you to magically appear. You loved helping Trinity and Rashad and their friends find the eggs that were hidden in the yard. You especially liked being the one to hide the golden egg with the $20 bill inside and helping Trinity find it. We had none of that this year. What we have are our memories of you and how much we love ❤ and miss you. Love you forever, Sweet. Phyllipe

"To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die." Sweet, because I live, you live also. Not only in my heart, but in everyone´s heart who knew and loved you. You have left a void so deep and wide in our lives, it can never be filled. I knew I was going to miss you, but I had no idea how great the pain and agony would be. It has been exactly six months since you slipped away from us early that Wednesday morning, September 7, 2022, and there has not been one single day since then that I have not cried and mourned the loss of you. I try to "be strong" but those are just words people say to you when they see you struggling because they don´t know what else to say or how to ease your pain. They try and they mean well. And I do appreciate their comforting words, I welcome them, but they really don´t understand the depth of my love for you and how my life is in such turmoil because I don´t see your smiling face, hear your voice, or touch you. But I´ll be ok one day. The day I finally see you again. So, until then, I'll Be Careful. I love you, Sweet.

Happy Valentine's Day in Heaven, Sweet. I wish I could see your beautiful smile today, hear your deep, soothing voice, and just have the pleasure of having you close to me. I was remembering some of our past Valentine's days, and I will never forget the time we came home early from work on a Friday. It was Valentine's Day and you told me to pack a small bag because you had a surprise for me. We got in the black Corvette and just started driving south towards Virginia. I kept asking but you wouldn't tell me where we were going. As we got closer to Louis and Cynthia's house in Hampton, I thought that's where we were going. It was not. We ended up in Newport News at the Omni Hotel for a special Valentine's weekend getaway that you had planned. It was beautiful!!! All the flowers, the wine, the wonderful dinner. It was more than I could have imagined and so romantic. We stayed the whole weekend, and when we left on Sunday, we had never even called Louis or Cynthia, even though they were less than a half hour away! That weekend was about you and me. Thank you for the memories, Sweet. That's all I have to live on and I will cherish them always.

Your sad and lonely Wife, Phyllipe.

Phyllipe, your devoted Wife.

December 25, 2022

It's Christmas Day, Sweet. Another one of those "first" days I've been dreading. When I woke up this morning, I didn't want to open my eyes because I didn't want to see that you weren't lying next to me. People say "Merry Christmas" so easily without thinking about what it means to some people they're saying it to. They mean no harm, it's just habit. There was nothing merry about this day for me. It was a very sad, mournful and sorrowful day. But you know what, I really believe God uses people to help us in our deepest time of need. Remember I told you about my friend and coworker, Terri? Terri had been telling me how she felt like she had a connection to you based only on me talking about you all the time because she never did meet you. But Terri gave me the most wonderful gift for Christmas. She gave me a message from you. I know it was from you because it said everything I was feeling. I want to share it with you. It's a little metal artwork titled "As I Sit in Heaven". As I sit in Heaven and watch you everyday, I try and let you know with signs I never went away. I hear you when you're laughing, and I watch you as you sleep. I even place my arms around you, to calm you as you weep. I see you wish the days away begging to have me home. So I try and send you signs, so you know you're not alone. Don't feel guilty that you have life. Life that was denied to me. Heaven is truly beautiful, just you wait and see! So live your life, laugh again, enjoy yourself, be free. Then I'll know with each breath you take, you'll be taking one for me! " Wow, Sweet. When I read those words, I just broke down, because I knew that was YOU talking to me. You really are here and you see me. I read those words a couple times a day and I am truly comforted knowing you're watching over me. So, now when I have that feeling that someone else is in the house with me, someone is -- it's you. I love you, Sweet. Until we meet again.

Your loving Wife, Phyllipe'

Happy Anniversary in Heaven, Sweet. I knew this day was coming and tried to prepare myself for it. As if I really could! When I found myself still awake at 1:30 this morning, an overwhelming sadness and loneliness overtook me. I have prayed a hundred prayers for you to return, but you didn't. I cried a thousand tears for you to return, but you couldn't. I thought of a million memories of you and the times we shared and there you were. Your smiling face gave me comfort, your presence calmed me and reassured me you were still with me. And so on this day our 28th wedding anniversary, I still cry because I miss and love you, but I smile because you're still with me. You never left me. Sweet, I loved you then, I love you still, always have, always will. Until we meet again, I'll wait for you to come around the corner so we can continue where we left off.

Your Forever Wife, Phyllipe

Sweet, at this Thanksgiving season, I want to tell you how Thankful I am for having had you in my life. I am Thankful for the day we met. I am Thankful that you decided not to go home that summery night, but made a u-turn into Lefty's and turned into my life. I am Thankful that you saw something in me that night (you liked to say it was a thunderbolt) and came up and spoke to me. I am Thankful for all the fun times we shared, the spur of the moment trips, the walks in Adams Morgan at 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning, the hikes in Rock Creek Park, and all the happy times we shared with family and friends. I'm also Thankful for (some) of the not so good times we had because it was those times that drew us closer to each other and made both of us want to be better for the other. I am most Thankful for that day you asked me to marry you, and then the day we got married, December 17, 1994. You were so very handsome that day and I loved you so much I felt my heart would burst. And now, here we are coming up on our 28th wedding anniversary and I still love you as much today as I did back then. So now, as we are in this Thankful time of the year, I am truly Thankful for the love we shared and how you always made me feel so cherished. I am Thankful for you being the kind of man you were and opened your heart to me and accepted the love I had to offer. Thank you, Sweet. My love is yours now and forevermore.

You may not have given me the gift of life but you have given me great words of wisdom and so much love. A man that stepped up to encourage, protect, and love another man´s children because your heart was so big. You were the only grandfather my children ever known. A great man that will always hold a place in my heart. May you Rest In Peace. Your job here is done. You have served your purpose in life and I know that God is very pleased with your work. Now it´s time to rest and spread your wings. No more sickness, no more pain. Fly high and watch over us. Love your daughter, Trina Beena

Baba, wow so many memories. From you (and Nana) tucking me into bed every night, to the motorcycle rides. (remember that one time I fell asleep while we were on the road?! You´d never let me forget it.) You taught me my first cheer and each year since then we´d recite it even 20+ yrs later. And one morning we got ready for school and ended up on Stone Mountain instead. I could go on and on about all my childhood fun with you. You taught me how to ride a bike, and even pulled out my first wiggly tooth. I couldn´t have asked for a better grandfather. Into my adulthood you were still very prominent, even miles away. You gave the greatest advice matched with the best listening ears and I can truly say you are missed, immensely! I´ll always be your jazzy girl! I love you Baba, until we meet again.

Larry, losing you in this life has been great loss. You mean so much to me, my husband and our boys. You´ve been an invaluable asset to us through the years. Your love for us, your wisdom, your firmness, your humor, your integrity, your enthusiasm for upward movement, and your will to help others are just a few of the characteristics I´ve always appreciated about you.

Words will never be enough to explain it all. Both of my boys have a wonderful father but you were a bonus that I never knew they needed until we met you. I´ll never forget the lessons learned from you. I´ll also never forget all the gut busting laughs and special moments our families shared. You often told me I was a lazy cook (as compared to my sweet best friend Phyllis). We´d always fake fight about that but you were right - I am a lazy cook. And you, my friend, are the best that ever did it. We miss you Baba. Thank you for everything. I love you.

p.s. The picture attached is one of my favorite pictures of you. It was when you and Phyllis visited us in Florida. We went fishing on the pier. It was such a beautiful day and we enjoyed each other so much. I don´t even know if we caught fish that day. But I do know we made memories that will last a lifetime.

Daddy, I miss you with all of my heart & soul!! I´ve never felt so sunken in my life. My protector, my motivator, my answer for ANY obstacle; my guide, my silly story -teller, man I´ll miss those! So silly, all I could do was laugh. You knew how to distract my weariness or frustration with laughter; then provided solid, realistic outlooks. Not always giving me the solution, but a map of avenues for me to choose from. Then you supported the choice. You always guided & supported your children in that manner. Straight, pure LOVE. I will miss it all. Your smile, your love, your care, your jokes, your logic, your charisma, our conversations, hugs, the connection and bond, period. Yet your spirit lives on and there are constant reminders of you around me. I know that you are at peace & are still guiding me in spirit. Also, as our ancestor, I know you have my best interest. My love for you is IMMEASURABLE & I look to you daddy, my shining light, to continue to lead the way!!! I´m listening. And yea, in your words, I´ll figure it out & try not to sweat the small stuff. Rest In Heavenly Peace Daddy! Love, Neet-Neet

Your sad wife that misses you very much, Phyllipe

To My Very Special Husband, Larry McLeod,

When God was making husbands, He made a special soulmate especially for me. He made a perfect gentleman that was so compassionate and kind, full of love and affection for the people you cared about. He gave you a heart of solid gold and a hand that was always open to anyone in need. You were someone I could talk to, share my hopes, dreams and plans for our future. You were so, so funny and someone I could laugh with till tears ran down my face. I think about you always, talk to your picture every day, and share my memories of you with others. I have such lovely memories, but I wish I still had you. It´s not easy, but it's only because of the love we shared that I´m able to get through each day. The sun still rises in the east and darkness falls at night, but nothing now seems quite the same each day. Sweet, you were and still are very special to me, and my loss is Heaven´s gain. I know that the next time you and I meet will be at Heaven´s door and when I see you standing there, there will be no more tears. I will put my arms around you and kiss your smiling face, then the pieces of my broken heart will once again be whole. You left way too soon.
