It was 7 years ago today that my life was turned upside down. I thought I was finally at the point I could face today and be somewhat okay. Jokes on me. All day yesterday, I cried when alone, had chest pain, shortness of breath...... My heart knew what was coming. And in some ways my reaction has changed..... I scream I MISS YOU instead of why. I know you are a in a better place. But it doesn’t stop the void from increasing with you not being here. So Diangello.... mommy misses you. I will get through today. You keep spreading your wings baby. I love you.

Hey D.
No special words for you. You are missed. We didn’t chat a lot but I always thought highly of you. You carry your mom DNA so that is special in itself.

Wish I could take the pain away from your family and bring you back for them. You were like a brother growing up! I remember when we were younger all of us jumping on the trampoline and just being kids. Staying the night at the house us all eating dinner together. You were such a clown, always picking on your sister. Truly out of love, when you miss someone those are the things that bring you so much joy. Just know you brought so many smiles to everyone's face.

Hey Di,
I Wish we could have gone to visit you today. You are in our thoughts and in our hearts. I really cannot believe it's been a year. I feel like you and Tray were just being silly on the roof of his old house. I know he really misses you, you're his best friend. I miss you too and your amazing smile. You touched so many hearts and you continue to do so. We love you and we miss you, but you'll always be in our hearts.

I am delayed in finding out about this tragedy because I've been away from Fayetteville for a while now .. but finding this out has definitely saddened my soul because for the 4 years of high school and beyond that I've known you , its always heartbreaking to see someone that you know pass away. Even though its been years that we've seen or even spoken to each other, you obviously were still somewhere in my heart and memories. Rest in Peace Diangello M. Smith !

I am so glad to see that you turned out to be such a great young man that this world lost way too soon. You will always be "little DiDi" to me

Diangello, you were always one of the most respecful young men that was friends with my son. I will never forget how you always addressed me with a yes maam or no maam, very well mannered young man. May the Lord in Heaven let your soul rest peacefully in his loving arms. My prayers to your family.

Oh Diangello!!!! Still seems like I see the little boy who was inqusitive, articulate, a prankster, and energetic. You grew to be quite the young man, just as I knew you would be. I know you're standing right beside your mom, grandma, sisters, and uncle, and everyone else whose lives you affected; as a wonderful guardian angel whose smile is lighting up heaven just the way it did on earth.

Guy, it's crazy how your gone. We didn't talk much but when we did we always said the same little corny joke about us having the same first name. Man it's a honor to share the same name and have served in our airforce together. You're in a better place now. You beat us all to the other side, see you soon.

What an amazing young man! I'll always remember his incredible smile and beautiful singing voice. I feel blessed to have known Diangello. He shared his many talents at Westminster for many years. God received an extra special angel.

"D brah never expected something like this man. We always talked about finally boxing in the daylight because every time we wanted to it was dark with car headlights only giving us light could never see each others hands. All in all you were a cool dude and I know your in a better place and we'll see you soon."

My heart is so heavy right now. God has certainly gained another angel in heaven. Diangello you are in a better place, serving a much higher purpose. You were raised by one of the strongest/most amazing women I have EVER known, and I know you will continue to watch over her, as well as the rest of your family/friends. Truly, gone too soon.

When I close my eyes the memories of you roll through mind like a movie on the big screen at the theatre. I see you in your morther's arm, hanging onto your grandmother's leg, gazing into your uncle's eyes with adoration, & teasing your sisters causing them to chase you through the house, shouting Dee! I cherish those memories. Now you're laughing with the Angels. Aunt Cheryl

Diangello, never had the pleasure to meet you son, but I heard so many wonderful things about you from your mother when we were in nursing school, your mother, who loves dearly will be missing you everyday. You will be missed, that's a fact, you left your mother too soon, but I guess that's Gods strange ways to take his people. May God be with you

Over the years so many young people have come into my life and left lasting impressions. Diangello, your smile, loving heart and constant happiness and laughter have stamped my heart with a permanent smile that I will carry with me forever. You were taken from us way too early but I know you are with Jesus, laughing and having a good time watching over us. Your smile is everlasting now!

I'm truly shocked and saddened by the passing of Diangello. It's so frustrating to know that such an amazing person is now gone, and won't be able to provide the many smiles we came to love. As a teacher and a coach, Diangello was an absolute pleasure to be around, always upbeat, always smiling, and always making us laugh. My condolences to the family. I'm thankful to have met your son.

I remember that big smile of yours. You would come to youth group with that smile of yours and it would change whatever mood I was in. What a gift God gave me when he put you in our lives. I will always remember the hugs you gave no matter where you saw us at. So proud of the things you accomplished. Will remember you forever. Now you have a new adventure ahead. Mike and Christy Board

One of the greatest things about teaching is that I get the chance to meet so many beautiful souls and share special memories in their young lives. However, one of the most painful things is to see that young life gone too soon. I feel like a mother whose lost her son. Ms Tomeka Smith, we are here for you and your daughters. Us and God!

Diangello, we have known eachother way longer than I can remember. Although I had not seen you in years, I still consider you my family. I was so happy to find you joined the greatest military branch ;-) This news saddens me. Ms Gloria and Tomeka, I haven't stopped thinking of ya'll since my mom told me what happened. Please know your family is in my prayers.

As ponder upon “D” and what stands out as a warmhearted memory, I would say the initial time I saw him running around the house with only a pamper on with no care in the world and the center of attention. My second thought is fast forwarded to the time he was a young adult. At this time, the several conversation topics I don’t recall but his polite mannerism reflected his character.

Diangello, You came into our lives and quickly go. You stayed for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, the same. Farewell, my family son, fare thee well! Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end. They simply mean we'll miss you Until we meet again!

Diangello I am going to miss you. This has been one of the hardest things I had to deal with in this lifetime. I cannot stop crying. I remember you as a little boy, with the cutest dimples one could ever imagine. I remember our last conversation of you coming to California, you would have loved it here. My heart is broken to know you are no longer here. RIP, Love Aunt Paulie

Hey DiDi. It's been a long time..about 6 years now since we last spoke. Our last time speaking wasnt on good terms, we were actually breaking up, smh. I'm sorry I wasn't a good friend afterwards and never spoke. You will always have a special spot in my heart, I know you're in a better place, with God. Praying for your sisters, mom an Gma.

Montreat Crasher
October 9, 2013
So many wonderful memories of our years at Montreat Youth Conferences. That was the place you could be yourself and you loved that. Remembering in 2010 after you graduated and were too old to go. You and Vicki T drove up to the mountains to "crash" the conference. You told me you could not imagine a summer without Montreat and had to join the fun! You and Vicki hiked the mountain, you sat with me in worship and talked to all the young people we had with us. Some of whom you did not even know, but you played "big brother" and loved all of them. The laughter and talks we shared during that week was amazing and I knew then that you were going to go on to fulfill the plans God had for you! You will always be in my heart.

You came into this world wanting to do it things your way. You did not want to come out....LOL. It took an hour to push you out. But just a second to take you away from me. You were a dreamer and an optomist. You could find a silver lining when there seemed to be none. You could make me smile and laugh when I thought I had no more left to give. You brought me joy. You brought me peace. You brought me love that a mother treasures. You were a gift, a miracle sent from Heaven. I got you for 22 years. Now its up to God to handle the rest. I love you son. And when it rains.... I will always believe that you have them laughing so hard that they are crying in Heaven. Until I see you again..........
