In memory of my brother

January 25, 2013

Hello Bro,

It's been a year and six days since you been gone
It still hurts all day long
There isn't a day that goes by
Without me thinking why
So many things I wanted to say
I never imagined yu'd be so far away
In my heart you'll always be
Until the time is meant for me
But I know you're always by my side
We share so many happy memories
My brother and my friend
May our love for you reach Heaven today
Your sadly missed by all
Until we meet again

Why?

WHY?

We weren’t put on this earth to live forever; but sometimes I can’t help but to question, why do we have to die? Why? I can’t help but to wonder why and cry; because to my family and friends I never want to say goodbye. I wish I could live on this earth forever; but I know I have to enter the flood gates of heaven, where life is better. No more hurt, no pain, no stress; just lay back and chill and rest. I can now see my family and friends that have passed before me; I can now say, “Hello my love ones, im home and are finally free”. Well, until the good Lord calls me home, I will live on this earth and be who He has destined me to be. But yet, I just don’t understand and can’t grasp why; so I guess I will always wonder and question, why do we have to die? Why?

Hello my beloved brother, today is your day. I hope that you are having a halleujah good time up there in glory on your b'day. I still can't believe that you are gone and left us. I think about you all the time, I miss you so much. Today have been really a sad day for me, everytime I get by myself and start to think of you, my eyes filled up with tears and I really cry. I know that God loves you best but I do too. I know you are in heaven where no more pain and suffering. Hold on my brother cause one these days we will reunite and be close to each other again like we did down here on this earth. I know that you are in a better place, so R.I.P.

Love always,
Your sis Jenn 

MISSING YOU!!!!

August 2, 2012

Hey Unc!

I just wanted to let you know that we love and we miss you, and there is nothing that we wouldn’t do to keep you. All of our prayers and our cries were always true, and we’re glad to know that you are in a better place where the sky is always blue. Dang Unc, if we could only have you home for a little while, just to touch you again and see that handsome smile. I’ve always said why you; but God knew what was best, He knew what to do. He knew how to take away your suffering and pain; but just to let you know, in our hearts, you will always remain. We know one day we will see each other again face to face; but while we are still here, you will never be replaced or erased. All the memories and your spirit will stay with us forever; and in my eyes, this will bring the family closer together. It’s still so hard to believe that you’re gone; and no matter how bad we want you here, the good Lord has called you home. Like I said, God knew what was best, oh my dear Unc, now you can rest!

Still missing my Unc!!!

April 12, 2012

Hey Unc,

I just wanted to say that I have been in some type of depression since you passed.I hate that you passed.I hate that you had to leave us.I love you Unc just as much as I love the rest of the family.I didnt see you as much as I wish I had but I kept you close to my heart.I hated to see a close love one deterioate the way you did.Thats something I never been through and my heart couldnt take seeing you that way.I didnt go to your funeral because I didnt want that to be my last memory of you.:( I know you wouldnt be mad at me and I know you knew that I loved you Unc.I just hate the fact that I cant hug and kiss you and tell you I love you again.You passing really makes me realize not to take life for granted.I pray every day to God not to let me take life for granted.I used to always put in the back of my mind that my family knows that I love them and that ill holla at them and see them another day.What I failed to realize is that another day may not ever come.It doesnt hurt to stick my head in the door or give a phone call or text to a love one even if its only for a minute.I hate that it always take death in the family before a family actually comes together.As the saying goes "cherish the moments and times you have".You never know when it may be the last time you see or talk to a love one.This has been buried in my heart since you passed.The last time I went over mama and I seen all the boys together I swear I wanted to say where is Jack.It still seems unreal to me.Its just aint the same,Unc its just aint the same.Its just aint the same over there anymore and im pretty sure the family feels that way too.Doc was picking at me because I had a GA bulldog shirt on,I told him im still an AU fan!!Unc I just wanted to let you know I love you and I miss you dearly...your niece,Nia

LORD, LET ME LAUGH AGAIN, BUT NEVER LET ME FORGET THAT I HAVE CRIED. IT HAS BEEN SAID, TIME HEALS ALL WOUNDS. I DO NOT AGREE THE WOUNDS REMAIN. IN TIME THE MIND COVERS THEM WITH SCAR TISSUE AND THE PAIN LESSENS. BUT, IT IS NEVER GONE.

LIFE BRINGS TEARS, SMILES, AND MEMORIES: THE TEARS DRY, THE SMILES FADES, BUT THE MEMORIES LIVES ON FOREVER. GOD SAW YOU GETTING TIRED, HE DID WHAT HE THOUGHT BEST; HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND SAID "COME AND REST." HE OPENED UP HIS GOLDEN GATES ON THAT HEARTBREAKING DAY; REST IN PEACE JACK, I WILL FOREVER MISS YOU. I CAN'T GET U OFF OF MY MIND, LOVE YOU FOREVER!!

LIFE IS NOT MEASURED BY THE NUMBER OF BREATHS WE TAKE, BUT BY THE MOMENTS THAT TAKE OUR BREATH AWAY.

Jack -- As I Knew Him

January 24, 2012

Jack and I worked together at Martex Warehouse, Valley Alabama.  It wasn't long before we kindled a friendship and later found that we were relatives.  You see, Charlie Flournoy (his uncle) was married to a cousin of mine in Florida.  Later, I learned that my father's mother was his dad's aunt.  Wow!  Well the closeness grew as we all joked, played, worked, and had fun.  My fond memories of Jack was his willingness to always be the best at what he set himself out to do.  He had dreams, but always put others in front before pursing his own dreams.  As a matter of fact, it was his brother Roosevelt Jr and later Jack who pushed me to join the Air Force.  I was sad to leave my friends behind, but they knew there was something better for me.  While they stayed behind and became the men their Mother and Father raised them to be, I kept them close in my heart and mind, as I proceeded to complete a 21 year career in the Air Force.  I will miss Jack, but my fond memories of him smiling, joking, and being a loving friend, will never be forgotten.  I send to the family my heartfelt Sympathy, prayers, strength, and love.  Jack will forever be remembered in our hearts.  Rest now Jack, your laboring is now over.  Enter into thy Master's care and forever know, one day--we will be there.
