Hi Lil Gregory, we were so hurt when you first left this earthly home, our lives were forever changed.  I remember vwhen ya'll were at school and Derra had a bad seizure you said you never left her side, regardless of what the principal said, you told them that's my cousin andI'm not going anywhere. When school let out you asked your mom to come and see about Day. You also told me to stop smoking bc that possibly was the cause of Derra's seizures. You were a beautiful kind soul.  Your are sadly missed by all of us.  We loved you so much ❤️ ♥️

An Eternal Memory of a Much-Loved Son....

This is for someone wonderful,
as loved as one could be.
For you were everything in life
you meant the world to me.
And sometimes life can be unkind,
when hearts are torn in two.
But nothing ever could compare,
to the pain of losing YOU.
But all the love you left behind,
forever will live on.
And so until we meet again,
rest peacefully, dear SON.

Love,
Mom

In My Mind
By Jenn Farrell

Somewhere in my dreams
I’ll see you standing there
You look at me with a smile
“Life isn’t always fair”

You say you were chosen for his garden
His preciously handpicked bouquet
“God really needed me,
That’s why I couldn’t stay”

It’s said to be those angels
Are sent from above
I’ve always had my angel
My SON — whose heart was filled with love

Wherever the ocean meets the sky
There will be memories of you
When I look up at the sky so blue
All I see are visions of you
“While there’s a heart in me, you’ll ALWAYS be a part of me.”

Looking at these photographs
I contemplate the way life used to be
I see my family
And I think of the good times
We would share
What a joy to have you there
I never thought we'd have to say goodbye
Time passed and you were gone
Though it's hard, I carry on
Because I know...
Love never dies
Your laughter will remain here in this heart of mine
To ease away the pain, I miss you so
But I've learned to smile again
Love never dies
Sometimes I catch myself talking to you
As if you were standing here
Sometimes I shed a tear
'Cause you're a special part of me
Living in my memory, giving my soul wings
So I can fly
While it's true I had to grieve
In my heart I do believe we'll meet again
Love never dies
Your laughter will remain here in this heart of mine
To ease away the pain, I miss you so
But I've learned to smile again
Love never dies
Lately everything I do,
I can't help but think of you
You're the energy that pulls me through
And though you're gone, your love
Your laughter lead me on to my destiny
I can see you paved the way for me
Love never dies
Your laughter will remain here in this heart of mine
To ease away the pain, I miss you so
But I've learned to smile again
Love never dies
While I'm sad and feeling blue
All I have to do is think of you
You're the light that keeps on pulling me through
Love never dies
Listen to me, when you lose someone
Don't give up, remember a change is going come
Keep your light shining just like the sun
Because love never dies
Sometimes you got to say bye-bye
Don't you know you're going to get down on your knees and cry
You must realize-
Love never dies

Love Mom❤️

Your birthday is right around the corner and my soul is still grieving and yearning to see and hear your voice and see your smile. You were such a tender sweet soul who loved people and life. Your presence engulfed every second of life as we know it. as if you knew you had limited days on this grim world of uncertainty.

You are forever present with me…and forever missed❤️

We shall meet again.

Love, Mom

You will never be forgotten Greg,We had some fun times in school bro throughout middle school to High school,I Missed those gym days down the bayou playing ball,You always in my heart bro.17 years later and I'm writing you this,I pray for you always.I know you in a better place.Until we meet again ,I will never forget you.

It’s been 16 years. You are missed. I look for you everywhere...in others actions, in songs on the radio, in passing, in family and especially in quiet moments. You are definitely missed and always have a place in my heart! Til we meet again. Forever 19....Love, Mom

My heart is heavy today - aching to see you again, to hear you call my name. Missing you baby boy. Until we meet again. Always and forever. Mom

Another year without YOU! You would have been 35 years of age. I often wonder what you would be doing at this stage of your life. Not a day passes without me thinking of you - your tender touch, your smile, your quietness, your kindness. This year on your birthday we celebrated YOU! Kassy planned the sweetest family gathering to commemorate you! Everyone had a grand time reminiscing about your life . Although you were not with us physically, you were in spirit. Until we meet again, I LOVE you always and forever. 

Thinking of you baby boy! Missing you dearly today!

The beauty is we will meet again!

Love,
Mom

It has been FIFTEEN YEARS of longing to see you my dear son! The agony of not being able to hear, see, or feel your touch pierces my heart. I love you and I know we will see each other again. You are so forever loved and with me everyday! I love you ....ALWAYS AND FOREVER!

Missing You!

Good Morning, just saying happy birthday.  You are deeply missed. Well take care.

May the Angels sing to you the most joyous chorus of “Happy Birthday” today. You’re truly missed and still loved by your family. Memories of you are still kept in our hearts.

Rest In Heaven Lil Gregory! You are an Angel flying high watching over your family. Gone too soon, will never be forgotten...... ❤️
~~~~~Happy Heavenly Birthday ~~~~~

I know your birthday is tomorrow but you've been on my mind and heart. I can't believe how the time is passing us by and it's been this long. I was talking to my dad today about you as we prepare for the 4th. I randomly think about you all of the time. How you used to play pranks all the time, your smile and laugh. I wonder what you would be doing? Would you have kids? Just random things... I wish you a Happy Heavenly Birthday Cousin! I love you. I miss you.

It has been 15 LONE-LY years since your demise. My heart aches to see you again, just to hear you call my name. Time has passed as your voice is no longer heard within the quiet whispers of my heart. I yearn to hear you laugh, cry, or just whisper my name. I still look for you at family gatherings when all the boys gather, in passing strangers and waiting for you to just ring the door bell one more time. Nonetheless, we will see each other again. Happy 34th Birthday son!  We love and miss you dearly.
One More Day by: Diamond Rio
Last night I had a crazy dream
A wish was granted just for me
It could be for anything
I didn't ask for money
Or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you!
One more day, one more time
One more sunset, maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again, I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day
First thing I'd do is pray for time to crawl
I'd unplug the telephone and keep the t.v off
I'd hold you every second
Say a million I love you's
That's what I'd do with one more day with you
One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you
One more day, one more time
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied
But then again I know what it would do
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you.

It has been a while since I last wrote you, but I have not forgotten you. You are forever in my thoughts and prayers.

I love u lil Gregory.Your big cuz Aalon

You would've been 32 yesterday. I always wonder what you'd be doing now. Happy belated birthday! I love and miss you my cousin.

It has been 13 years and another birthday. Happy Birthday my dear grandson. You are truly loved and missed.

Where do I even begin? It's been a little over 11 years since you were taken away and not a year has gone by that I haven't cried for you. These last few weeks you've been heavy on my mind and heart. I just wish you'd still be here so I can stare into you're beautiful eyes once more, while you grin from ear to ear like you used to. I miss your hugs, the way you held my hand, I miss just hearing your voice. I often wonder how different life would've been had you not left so soon. How beautiful your children would be, I just knew some day you would've made a wonderful dad because of how gentle and sweet you were with India. I brag to my daughter very often about the sweetheart you were. I wish that sometimes I could wake up and you'd still be here alive and well, living life normally. Nothing in this world prepared me for the news I received that day about your passing. I felt so empty, I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, my mom held me crying for so many nights. You took a big chunk of my heart with you when you left and I prayed so much that it was a mistake and that it wasn't true. Oh how I wish things/life would have gone differently. I'll patiently wait for the day to see you once more so I can finally see that gorgeously contagious smile that you had, and hold you ever so closely. I miss you and love you so much Gregory Maryland Jr!

Hello Again....I tried to write to you yesterday but it was very difficult for me. I feel so ill inside...tears flow like a river because my heart is broken. I miss you and I am looking forward to seeing you again! I have been looking at your graduation ceremony CD and I rewind just to see that smile with your arms spread wide as if you were saying, "Lord, here I am! I surrender!"

Hey Lil Gregory!! I just wanted to let you know that I've been thinking about you. I love and miss you.

Hello Babe Boy:

Today was very tough day for me. My mind stayed on you trying to envision what you would look like or what you would be doing and wondering of how many wonderful grand children you would have blessed us with. It seems as if everyone has forgotten about you and your soft embrace. But as usual, your mom have been and will always be in your corner. You know I often hear so many songs on the radio and I think to myself...Hmmm Greg Jr. would like that or shopping looking at the new styles and thinking of you.  I love and miss you my baby boy. We will meet again and we will have a joyous time.

Hi Babe Boy:
Happy Birthday.  We released 30 sky lanterns to commemorate your birthday. You are truly missed and forever loved. I am still looking for you at every gathering; when I pass by your room or if I meet a stranger with your stature.  I miss your warm hug and your beautiful smile. You will always be with us forever. Sleep on my child. We will see rach other again.  Love your mom!

Oh how time flies; you are truly missed. Yet you are forever remembered. Often your name is brought up and me & Kirby always talk about how spoiled you were and how you had every Jordan shoe thanks to Auntie Pam. I often wonder how life would be if you were here, God called you home and I know you are looking down upon us smiling. I have a baby boy now; he's 1 year old. I truly wish you could be here but you are better off. Watch down on us my guardian angel! Me & Armani love you always and forever :)

This was one of the most saddest days of our life. That day you left us. God obviously had a bigger plan for you in his Kingdom. I know that you are in Jesus' arms. Yet we will always Love You and remember the Good times. We miss you very much. If our Love could have kept you here then most assuredly you would still be here with us. 
Love You Nephew
Tee Black Gal & family

If the love we have for you could bring you back, you would be in our arms today. I pray everyday for you. I know God wanted you more because He is in charge. You will always be missed and remembered!

Hi Baby Boy:

It has been 10 LONG years. You are thought of EVERYDAY. I yearn to hear your voice, your smile, and your conversation. I am still looking for you in everyone I encounter. Your presence is missing when all of your cousins gather at MAMA's house. I observe them laughing and clowning and just enjoying each other....then I realize once AGAIN you are not there in body but in spirit. I am looking forward to seeing YOU again so we can catch up. I often dream of YOU and PAPA--- you guys are walking on the back levy gazing towards the back with you walking in his footsteps swinging a twig back and forth. WE LOVE YOU and MISS YOU.

I LOVE YOU

I can't believe its been 9 years. I remember it like it was yesterday and still cry when I think about you. But then I smile because I think of all the good times we had. I remember staying in our pool until we turned into little prunes, when you were a lifeguarg at the pool and I showed you how to backstroke, when you made that slide and slide outside of Auntie Josephine's house, how we used to climb on the roof but most importantly, I remember your smile. There isn't a day that passes that I don't think about you or miss you EVERYDAY and EVERY time I go down the bayou. I always wonder what you would be doing now? I miss your hugs, your voice and you. I love you very, very much.

I miss you much....

Although our hearts hurt and mourn in humanly pain, the fact still remain the same that heaven has gained more love to sprinkle down from above. You are truly forever missed.

Gone Too Soon.....It is very difficult for me the past few weeks. My body, heart and soul is yearning to hear your voice, to feel your touch, to see your smile. I know that you are present through our memories of you! But the flesh is weak and I miss you! I always love you and will see you again!

It has been eight long years since your departure. Your birthday is right around the corner - July 4th. You would have been 28 years of age. Wow! By now I would have had beautiful grandchildren - just like YOU! Your sister talks about you all of the time and how she wishes you were here to share her life. Happy Birthday Baby Boy! We love you FOREVER AND ALWAYS!
