TRIBUTES to our loved ones

In Loving Memory of a Special Niece The day you left and gained your wings my heart just broke in two I wish you could have stayed with me But Heaven needed you You left me with the memories And I love you dearly still No matter how much time goes by You know I always will You were a very special person With kindness in your heart And the love we had together Grows stronger now we're apart I know I cannot bring you back Although I wish it everyday But a piece of me went with you The day you went away - Auntie Jamiula Hooks

Heaven's Little Angels: You're two of Heaven's angels now. Two perfect little stars, and when you both shine, the world can see just how beautiful you are. May you fly with magic wings on clouds so soft and white. May your hearts be joyful and the memories we shared bring us light. Although our hearts are broken and your lives were far too short, we want to thank you, our sweetest angels, for the happiness you both brought. - Auntie Chanteria German

In Loving Memory of our Wonderful Nephew Of all the special gifts in life however great or small, to have you as our Nephew was the greatest gift of all.

May the winds of love blow softly and whisper in your ear "We love and miss you and wish that you were here" Deep in our hearts, your life is kept to love and cherish, not forget. No more tomorrows we can share but yesterdays are always there.

A silent thought, a secret tear keeps your memory ever near in our hearts forever.

- Auntie Jamiula Hooks

From: Brothers-Anthony Harris Jr. (A.J.) & Aydean Crittenden To our great niece and nephew: Two Little Stars Two little lights rose softly, Far beyond our sight, Leaving quiet in their footsteps, And shadows in our night. They came as whispered blessings, As laughter brief and bright, A spark of joy that warmed us Before returning to the light. We hold their names like petals, Fragile, pure, and small, And though our arms feel empty, Their love still fills us all. No measure of the aching Can tell what they have been— Two souls who touched our world Then slipped back home again. So now we look to heaven, Where gentle spirits play, And trust they walk together In a place that knows no gray. Two little stars now watching, Jazalynn and Billy, Guiding us from above— Forever in our keeping, Forever held in love. With all our love: Thomas, Loretta, Jackie, Raffus, Sylvester,and Manatha
