August 16, 2018 at 11:28 amThe day has finally come where I have to say goodbye to your physical body. Wow, I can’t believe this is real that this is now my reality. From the first moment we met, we instantly clicked. You were my protector, my alibi, one of my biggest supporters etc. In your eyes I could do no wrong. Whenever I needed you, you were there, no matter what! The love and bond that we shared was one that can never be replaced nor duplicated even if I tried. When no one else understood, you did. When no one else cared, you did. You were the best big brother a sister could ever ask for. Now, you ran away plenty of guys and threatened half of Virginia to not mess with me; but, you always made sure I was happy and if I was happy you were happy. You always wanted to see me happy and striving to be a better me with each passing day. On today, I promise to remember you for your loving heart and supportive spirit. I will do my best to continue to make everyone laugh, as you would do. I will continue to look out for Ma and the kids; but, imma let Shaun handle the girl aka Bee lol. I will always love and miss you.
Your BabySis

February 1, 2020 at 3:37 amHey baby im sitting at work right now in the same place you took your last breath. (MARYVIEW HOSPITAL) which I thought when I took this job will be hard for me but it actually makes me feel closer to you everyday I come to work. Today you have been on my heart my mind and in my spirit all day missing more and more each day. I come to work and put your picture up to get thru the day to just be able to look into your eyes and remember all the good and bad times we shared. you will forever be in my heart and the only man I truly gave my heart to. The kids are having to celebrate there birthdays for the 2nd time without you and it doesn’t even seem real. Bae I love you and I will cherish and live for you until the day I die. I will see to it that justice is served. everyone is still hurt and in disbelief that you are no longer here. I love you with all my heart and soul I will always strive to be a good as you are when it comes to providing for the kids all 7 of them. I always wish that I could be with you since that night. I don’t know what Gods purpose was to cover me but Im trying to figure it out so that I can live that purpose. You are truly missed and loved by many and that will be forever.
