Burnt Them

July 27, 2004

Where do I begin? Words can't explain how much I miss you I just don't understand the situation. I really miss the talks we had and the fun too. I just wish we coud ride around in the car just joining nowhere fast. Pookey life without you is boring , no one to laugh and joke with, fight with or go get something to eat. I miss your mother asking me where you were at but she already knows and id secure with that answer. I have so many memories and I will forever cherish them . Ain't nothing changed I Love You.

You know I never thought that it would come a day where I would be writing about you in your guest book. Anyway I just want to thank you for the times spent with Kai and the love given to her.She has a love for you that I couldn't explain. She understands way too much and I couldn't explain why this happened to you. She wanted you to live with us, but would just settle for you spending a night. I also think she was jealous of your girlfriend. I can't say much else but rest on Pookey and watch over your little cousin.

DEAR POOK

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I MISS YOU AND ALL THE TIMES WE HAD WITH EACHOTHER. WHEN DEVIN HAD PAST ME, YOU, AND ANTWAIN WAS THERE FOR EACHOTHER YOU GAVE ME A SHOULDER TO LEAN ON AND YOU AND YOUR MOTHER ALSO GAVE ME A WARM PLACE TOO STAY AT TIMES WHEN I DID NOT WANT TO GO HOME. YOU HELP ME OUT WITH MY PROBLEMS I REMEMBER WHEN ME AND YOU STAYED UP EVERY NIGHT AND TALK UNTIL WE FELL TO SLEEP ALL YOU WOULD TALK ABOUT IS YOUR B-DAY AND HOW MUCH FUN WE WERE GOING TO HAVE. I REMEMBER WHEN WE WENT TO SEE BACKYARD WE HAD ONE OF THE TIMES OF OUR LIVES BUT WHEN WE GOT TO YOUR HOUSE WE WERE IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE IT WAS JUST A MISS UNDERSTANDING. ALL THE TIME WE SHARED WITH EACHOTHER WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART SPECIALLY THE TIME WHEN WE GOT CHASED DOWNTOWN AND OUR FOOTBALL DAYS. I WANT YOU TOO KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU AND WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN SAVE ME A STOP UNTIL THEN WATCH OVER ME.

P.S. GO SHORTY ITS YOUR BIRTHDAY WE GOING TO PARTY LIKE ITS YOU BIRTHDAY. HAPPY B-DAY POOK

Hello Kecia and the Simms Family. Please accept my family's condolences for the loss of your loved one.

I had not seen Michael since he was about 4 at Birney's Headstart Program. What I remember the most was that my daughter Tiffany was suppose to sing Michael Rowed the Boat Ashore and she started crying. Your Michael took the microphone from her and finished that song and saved the day!

May God give you peace in this time of sorry.

The Payne and Tillman Family (formerly of 2657 Birney Place).

To Someone who was very special person...

Pookie where can I begin? I hurts just to think about how you're not gonna be here anymore. The impact you've made on other people's life is so tremendous! Just to see how you've touched so many people's lives at such a young age makes me constantly think.... Parkchester just won't be the same without you being around there making your presence known. You know as well as I know that you will and most definately will be missed. Every time I see you, you would just be chillin with the fella's like normal boys do.... It's just tears me up inside. To Kecia, please keep your head up in involve "God" in whatever you do. To the rest of the family, especially "Woo-Woo" I just want you to know that you are in my prayers. Lastly to Pookie, "No one can take the place of you but you, so until I see you in heaven", R.I.P.

-Remember to put you hat backwards so you can look cute always...

I remember I was just talking about you just the other day saying how much you had grown up & remembering you as a little boy,

I had just saw you a few weeks ago around the way. May you rest in peace & may "Allah" bless your love ones at this time of sorry. You will be "truly" missed.
