My Pookie, Tyshell is my niece. The night I found out what happen my heart broke in two. Tyshell is my baby and my baby is gone. I was her other mother. I had Tyshell with me from the day she was born and I don't have a clue how to let go. I do know the only thing all of us can do is TURN TO GOD. One of the beautiful things I remember about her was she had a strong personality.I will never forget my baby,I love her now and I'll love her forever. I thank everybody that signed my baby's guest book and I'm glad all of you got a chance to know Ms. Pookie

I LOVE YOU

My Angel

You spread your wings and you took off for flight that cold beautiful night

And when I found out I started to cry because I was not ready for you to die

But then I smiled and wiped my face because I knew you were in a better place

Up in heaven with God above showering us with all your love

So even though you're gone

In my heart you still live on

So please know I love you and I always will remember you

So I will see you when I get to Heaven

I know you're watching over me twenty-four seven

I love you pookie and always will

My guardian angel always and still

I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU

to the family,

Tyshell and I weren't really close but when we did talk i felt like i knew her forever she was indeed one of my friends. When i heard about her death on that night i was speechless and breathless i couldn't believe what i was hearing. I couldn't make it to the funeral but i did make sure that my presence was felt. I would like to let her family know that Tyshell will always be in my heart and everyday i miss her more and more. I'm am definetly glad that she is now home with the lord and is going through no more troubles.

Tyshell will always be remembered by her friends. My daughter Jasmine and Tyshell were close friends. They had a lot in common and would talk all of the time on the phone and at school. We enjoyed having Tyshell at our home for sleep overs and trips to the mall. She made all of the people around her so very happy. Tyshell will always be missed and loved. Our prayers go out to the family in this great time of need.

To the family,

I really didn't know Tyshell but when i would see her i would say hi or wassup. When i heard what happend i came straight home when i got off the bus called my mom and looked all over the internet for information but i could not find any. then a few days ago i finally saw the guest book. It hurt me so much to hear what happend because i just lost on of my favorite cousins almost 2 months ago and then hear this i just want you all to know that Tyshell will always be with you and do not ever think that you can not go on because Tyshell will be there holding your hand telling you that you can do it.

Losing Tyshell was a burden not seeing her is even harder Even though I was present at the funeral it all seems so unreal. We met through ROTC and by being in ROTC you become close to so many you dont know what to do when lose them. My deepest and dearest condolences go out to your family. Its so hard not seeing her then its another young lady who looks like her so I get scared.But I know she would want us all to rejoice and not be sad."Be Blessed and Dont Live LIFE in Distress" ROTC and CH Flowers Family lost an ANGEL

Poo, baby I was there all the time and have been there. I remember when Shelly was born. I remember her vibrant and bold personality. I have been strong for you all week and will continue to pray for the strenghth of all of our family. This is a hurting thing but this too shall pass. Stay focused on the Lord and lean not to your own understanding. God always has a plan even when we dont understand what is going on, He knows all about it. The loss was great for us and we as a whole family will get through this. May God Bless you in this time and shine his face upon you. Your Sister and First Cousin Dana

Although, I didn't know Tyshell, from what I have heard from Antonio Booker, she was a beautiful person, both inside and out. I want to extend my prayers out to her family and friends, and know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. May God continue to shine upon you during your time of need. Please, remember, whatsoever ye ask in prayer, BELIEVE, and ye shall RECEIVE.

"Peace, perfect peace, with sorrows surging round? On Jesus' bosom nought but calm is found. -- Peace, perfect peace, our future all unknown? Jesus we know, and He is on the Throne!

"Peace, perfect peace, death shadowing us and ours? Jesus has vanquished death and all its powers. -- It is enough: earth's struggles soon shall cease, and Jesus called us to Heaven's perfect peace!"
