My son, I miss you so...the news of losing your grandfather on your birthday broke my heart in many pieces. I know now this was Gods plan and I know you two are rejoicing in the heavens. Now I have two guardian angels watching over me. Rest my son rest!

Hi big bro. Today I mean everyday, something crosses my mind and the thought of you comes to me. I can't even imagine what today would be like if you were still here. Like I miss you so much. From meeting you since I was 8-9 years old, to you guiding me thru my pre teen life and being my superhero and protector. I wish Karsen could've met his uncle, but I know you're living thru me, and because of you I'm never scared or worried about any obstacles I've ever faced. You taught me so much and strength was first. I love you Tef for life. You were my big brother and like a father to me. And I will make sure you name lives on. Just continue to watch over me, please guide me. Keep resting blood.

Tonight is one of those nights. I remember you walking in the house talking to me playing around like you would always do and I just start to cry from missing you. I realize now there is no love like a Mother's love and no one could ever love you the way I do...I miss you so much. MOM

It saddens me to know you're gone. All I thought about was us playing as kids in Kirkwood waiting for the school bus...or playing tag during recess. I didn't have the opportunity to know you as an adult but I'm sure you were the same fun and loving person. You will be missed Vaughn. My prayers go out to your family friends and loved ones.

I went awhile without crying when I think about you, I smile more when I think of you and I find myself laughing too.. It's just the little things that remind me of you I guess it's your way of letting me know I haven't forgot about you. My pastor said just last Sunday when someone you love so much pass on its okay to miss them but never question God why, I use to do that but I always smile an tell him thank you for bringing you into my life.. It's like your still here I can never get you off my mind.. I messed up after you passed , but with everything I was going threw I could still here your voice telling me I'd be alright .. I love you for that I really do .. I love

Sometimes I forget how much my heart is broken from missing you; until I pass your pictures or remember that contagious smile. There are no words to express a mothers love for her son. I miss you so!

I'm still expecting you to come through that door any minute. It's not the same without you here there's an emptiness that I just can't explain. The pain I feel is still there and it won't go away, you know if I could have one wish it would be for you to be here with me this Thanksgiving. I miss you so much. (Gone to soon) Love MOM

Vaughn I still can't believe your not here. I got some mail for you the other day and it really broke me down I couldn't stop crying so I just prayed and asked god to take away the pain, Your little cousin that you didn't have a chance to meet looked at your picture on my wall and smiled the biggest smile i have ever seen and that made me feel a little better. I miss you so much.

November 13, 2009

Hearing you saying you wasn't coming back no more brought tears too my eyes, an you just looked at me an kept talking, after all that when it was time for us too leave I gave you a hug but you didn't hug me back lol cause I was leaving an I told you I'd promise I'd come back.. That Sunday I looked for you, It kinda felt like my heart stopped beating when I didn't see you, I prayed an prayed, Still didn't see you. the day turned too night, an I prayed again an their you was just walking up. You looked at me an asked what I was crying for, the only I could do was shake my head cause It didn't matter no more cause you was there. I smiled the wholeee night, You said you can't always run from your problems. I can't sleep at night. I just shut down at times, But I'm getting better, Its like when I see that beautiful smile of yours I smile..

I love you.

Valerie -- words cannot express the sorrow felt by the loss you've suffered. I have walked the road you now travel and know it is not an easy path. But God...God is mightier than any pain, sorrow, or loss we shall endure and will see you to your victory. I pray that the memories of your dear Vaughn will be treasured by all who have had the opportunity to know him; and that the legacy he leaves will be honored by family and friends - expressed with Love. I am praying for you & your family and send my love.

May Christ continue to Bless You and Yours,

Vaughn,

I thank God for putting you in our family, you showed us the real meaning of LOVE. I remember when I spoke to you last, you would tease me about "skating all the time" and I told you that's what I do just like you like to play chess! Who would have known that would be our last conversation. It seems un-real that you're gone but one thing I know for sure, YOUR MEMORY will forever live on in my heart. They say "The Good Die Young" but you left us wayyyyyy too soon! I love you but GOd loved you best.

I Love You Always

Dear Vaughn,

I miss you so much! You were taken away from us too soon. It just seems so unreal. I try to remember all the good times that we shared. Lately, you had been on my mind. I recently asked Aunti how you were doing. I really missed you! It hurts so bad to no that I will never be able to talk to you again or see your beautiful smile. God knows, I wish you were still here! You had a great spirit and were so protective over your family. I know your still watching over us. I don't understand why God sometimes takes away the people you love. First, my Dad, then you! I may have lost you on earth, but I know I gained another angel. God truly works in mysterious ways. I know your in a much better place now and don’t have to suffer. I have faith in God that he will get our family though this tragedy! You will forever live in my heart. You're gone, but never forgotten! I LOVE YOU COUSIN!

For I will [fully] satisfy the weary soul, and I will replenish every languishing and sorrowful person. Jeremiah 31: 25

Dear Family,

Thank you God for giving us Vaughny. It seem like only yesterday when you, Ray Ray and little Kenny were beautiful babies together. I'll miss you so much. Somehow God will take us through. You were a husband, a son, a brother, a grandson, a nephew, a cousin and you will always be our precious love one that will never be forgotten. God’s word says that “For everything there is a season. A time to be born and a time to die, A time to weep and a time to mourn”. In this season, may God give each and everyone of you peace and may he comfort your hearts. Family this is a hard time for us but we can face tomorrow knowing that the dead in Christ shall rise again.

The Lord bless thee, and keep thee. The Lord make his face to shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee. The Lord lift up His countenance upon thee and give thee peace. Numbers 6: 22-26

Vaughn rest in peace!!!

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord

From Your Little Cousins We Love You

I am, however, truly blessed I was able to meet you and your sister, two extraordinary women. I can only imagine what a great person Vaughn was. If there’s anything I can do please let me know. You and your family are in my prayers.

When tragedy strikes and takes the life of our loved ones, we cry out with great sorrow. Be assured that your tears are not unnoticed by the Creator of life. Although your deep pain will not easily disappear, praying to God will bring comfort to you as you grieve. The Bible tells us that God is "healing the broken-hearted ones, and is binding up their painful spot". May the "Father of tender mercies" and the "God of all comfort" strengthen your faith and give you courage to face the days ahead. I am very sorry for your loss.
