Can't believe it's been 6 years.... Shawn and Kyre are awesome kids, with so much potential. They will be sucessful in school and in life:)
Shawn is very smart, he enjoys and continues to earn A's and B's in science and math. I think he will be a Computer Scientist and build video games. We are already discussing Colleges he wants to attend, in order to reach his dream.
Kyre is in advanced math:) he enjoys dancing, playing the violin and sings in the choir. He does it all... He is going to be in the school spelling bee, representing the 4th grade class. He wants to become an Computer Engineer. They both are great spellers, they got that from you:)
Overall, Im very proud of Shawn and Kyre. I'm sure they will have a wonderful year. You would be So proud of them:)
They miss you a lot!

I never said thanks for being the close brother that I never had Rashawn but now in 2012 I realize that life is short and that true friends love to the end the way that you loved me as a brother. So thanks again for sharing the greatest gift of all which is LOVE.
To one of the most talented men that I ever knew I pray you will always be remembered as the kind hearted person that you were

Happy B-day! From Keva, Shawn Jr, and Kyre. The boys are a hand full and keep me very busy. I wish you could help me out with their behavior issues. Uncle Steve and Cousin Tony are a big help to me and keep them in line:)
Shawn reminds me of you in so many ways, but they both remind me of you because they are so good with Spelling, and love PE in school. Rashawn and Kyre gets 95-100% on all their test. They talk about you all the time. We were looking at the old photo album when we were at the hospital delivering them. They were so excited to see you in the pictures, and we even looked at the birth of Kyre on your father's video recorder not to long ago. I'm thankful for the time we shared as a family.

Father God,
I pray that you continue to bless the Bryant family and give me strength to overcome the strongholds that may come in my life. We miss RaShawn Sr please let him know we think about him all the time. The boys are in flag football, I signed up to be the team mom, my father and brother are coaching the team. Shawn Jr and Kyre talk about their dad and the times they shared together. Thank the Bryant family for all they do.

Shawn -- If I Knew:
If I knew it would be the last time
that I'd see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you walk out the door,
I would give you a hug and kiss
and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time
I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time,
I would spare an extra minute
to stop and say, "I love you,"
instead of assuming you would know I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day. Well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.
For surely there's always tomorrow
to make up for an oversight and we always get a second chance to make everything just right.
There will always be another day
to say "I love you," and certainly there's another chance to say, "Anything I can do?"
But just in case I might be wrong
and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone,
young or old alike, and today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.
So if you're waiting for tomorrow,
why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day that you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish.
So hold your loved ones close today,
and whisper in their ear. Tell them how much you love them
and that you'll always hold them dear
Take time to say "I'm sorry,"
"Please forgive me," "Thank you," or "It's okay." And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today.
LOVE YOU AND TRULY MISS YOU. MOM & DAD

Dear Bryant Family,
We are grateful to have you in our lives. The boys are getting older everyday and Jr reminds me of his father a lot.

GOD BLESS!

I know that it may seem hard for you but I'm believing by faith that God will comfort and give you peace.

Thank you for this day. I thank you for keeping everyone safe. Father most of my days are great, but sometimes I'm sad. I never thought of life without Rashawn. I have to accept things as they are now, and keep focusing on you.I wanted you to tell Shawn that we a miss and love him very much. Tell him that I started a non-profit orgnaization to help others that are facing various problems. Thank you for everything you have inspired me. Your children always talk about you. Jr and Kyre are just like you. They always dance and sing. Father thank you for always loving us no matter what. All these prayer I ask in your son Jesus name.

At times father I don't understand things but my faith in you keeps me pushing. I thank you for allowing Shawn and I to meet, and have wonderful children. I will always praise your name and pray for others who lack faith in you. I pray that you will continue to work through me to inspire others. All these prayers I ask in your son Jesus name Amen.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Shawn, I couldn't help from thinking about you very much especially today, you have been gone away from us 8 months today. There is not a day pass that I don't think about you. You will always be in my heart.

Went to NY for a family reunion the weekend. You are really missed by everyone. Really don't like family function anymore because it makes me so sad. I love you son and I miss you so much. I know time and prayer will heal my pain but I ask God how long will the pain last.

Shawn even though your gone with God I will continue to keep you close to my heart. It still hurts alot and I'm sure you can tell...I get alot of comfort in reading the letters you wrote me, listening to your CD and looking at the picture that Naudia took of us. The girls pray for you every single night. Naudia and you had a close relationship and sometimes I catch her just looking at your picture...she misses you. I will be moving soon and I will be taking all the memories with me. I miss your beautiful smile and your jokes. You will always be apart of me and the girls and that will never change. Shawn you will stay in my prayers and in my heart. I'm sure that you are watching over your family cause I know how much you love them, and I will continue to pray for them and you.
Love Always

Happy Birthday my son.
In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious

I miss you more than words can explain. We had so many times together laughing that I often think about. Your neice always looks in the ceiling and smiles. I tell her to let her uncle know we miss him and we love him. How I wish I had the opportunity to let you know how much you mean to me and how my life is incomplete without you. I keep you in my heart and my prayers daily. I will love you FOREVER.
