Rest on child. I know God got you and your mom
Is holding it . 18years is a long time. I will never forget you baby. RIP

I never got the chance to meet you but your mother my beautiful in-law has shared your memories so much I feel like I got a chance to know you. Prayers and love to the family ❤️

18 years is a long time Notty!!! But your family, your friends, your loved ones are keeping your name alive for sure!!! Today’s your baby girl birthday, make sure you try to visit her thoughts, kiss her in her dreams!! Much love to you on today ❤️️

It’s eighteen years later, but it will always be yesterday or last night. We miss you so much. I go to bed with you on my mind and wake up with you on my mind. I can never put it in words how it affected me and my life. Your lil brother wears it in his soul through life. I still have all of your friends but two of them. I know they still love you, though.. Notty, you had those real friends that grew up with you and saw you out of here. Carl Martin, Greg Airington, and they all saw you out of here. I saw your daughter, ILIHN, for her high school graduation and talk to her from time to time. When I saw Heidi, your presence was all over her. She will never get pass the love you had for her, Notty. I guess I’m still living it out with Kev and dad. To this day I can’t talk to your cousin Dee because all he dies is talk about you. Continue to send your blessings back to all of us that you left here. Mommy always say, wait at the gate for mommy.
I love you!

Happy Heavenly Birthday Fam

Happy Birthday 2023, my love! You know we will always love you, miss you, and remember you through our lives. 

Rest baby and keep looking over your family love you baby.

Rest on your 17th Anniversary. Just can’t forget about you. I pray for your mom all the time. Keep being her angel.

Still missing my brother, continue to watch over us.

It’s been 17 years or 17 years of tears, heartache, and pain, but God held me in His arms and all is explained. I kiss you day by day, but I no longer think something was taken away. His just simply wanted His son back. I thank Him everyday for the love, memories, and time shared on this earth with you, but in the end there’s no getting over you. I look in your baby brother’s face and I still see Nod G in every way. Your leaving left us so much pain, sorrow, but beautiful memories of your love. I tell myself all the time. When I lost Notty,
I lost my shine, but my light turn brighter with my Kevin on my mind. I will never forget when Kev walked in my bedroom wearing your jacket and hat. I was waking from a sleep and I said, Nod’s back! I released the stronghold and grief that I carried for years, but I still cry random tears. I am crying as I write this for you, but mommy have God and He’ll always see me through. I still have your friends here with
me everyday because they know they love their boi, their other brother, and their ride or die mate. I bet Jarmon still ride alone because it’s been that way since Nod G is gone. Soon it will be twenty years and I will still be mommy with Kev crying tears. I couldn’t be the Debbie I am today hadn’t
I lost you, God knew I had to find Him to make it through. I guess nephew Dee will have his drank today. Cry, and tell me how they took his brother/ cousin away. Know that we all miss you being with us, but we all can make it through God’s trust. It’s your 17 year anniversary in Heaven and I just had ti hollar at you and let you know how we live you. Rest In Paradise.

Happy birthday, your family keeps your light shining bright we are all blessed to still see it shine. Continue to rest easy.

Happy Birthday!!

Happy birthday Jo Jo

ALWAYS WILL REMEMBER. RIP!! WE ALL WILL MEET AGAIN

Still missing you always Jo jo

Happy heavenly birthday! Continue to smile down on your mother and brother!

I shed so many tears after sixteen years of not being able to share life with you my dear
You were my first born and my true blue
Anything I did, I did it for you while loving my son as you grew into the loving man I raised you to be
I really wanted you to be like mommy
You leaving me was all about me learning to need God
I just didn’t understand why God called Nod
I learned when I thought Nod was my very own possession, God had to teach me a better lesson
When I try to say to others that God wanted his son back
It sounds like I’m throwing other mothers off track
I’d rather praise His name than allow myself to grieve because once I learned His word I was relieved
It will always sadden my heart the day God took Nod but it was about me giving my life to God. 
Mommy love you and you will be in my heart and soul. Miss you, z Leonard.

Wait for mommy at the gate, baby.

Missing you like crazy each and everyday glad I have alot of memories to always remember and reminisce about ..Happy Heavenly Birthday from your forever homie.

HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY. REST ON ❤️

Happy Heavenly Birthday Fam Continue to Rest In Peace!

-Fred Jr & Tessa

It’s your 41st birthday and I am still missing you! This year I can say that Kev is often talking to your inky daughter, ILIHN. That’s so good for him and he loves his only niece. I’ve always known that you would put her in touch with him and it was a part of his healing. I met her and she say hello to me sometimes. It may have taken fifteen years and it cost me so much, but mommy is just fine. She’s the only grandchild we have and I am so glad Kev talks to her. Dad, Kev, and myself will celebrate this day for your birthday and always know we love you, miss you, and you are forever etched in our heart, soul, and spirit. 

Hello my precious firstborn son! I am sitting in church thinking of you. So much had gone in most recently. I am happy because Kev and dad met ILIHN! She’s a beautiful girl and very poised. I pray that she’s always in Kev’s life because she’s like his next of kin. She told me she have some of my ways. I think she’s identical to you: Kev really welcomed her into his life, too. She is the only niece he will ever have. Notty. Kev is a real champ in life when it comes to me and dad. She even helped with the children, too.  He’s certainly doing all he told dad as a little kid he would do. I try not to worship him because I love him more than anybody will ever know! Mommy still look at him and see his big bruh in him from time to time. Dorian Love got married, but we wasn’t able to see his wedding. Can you believe Dorria. Is married? I am wishing them the best. I don’t see him anymore, but he’s just fine. Dad was asking about him. The rest of your friends are still right here with me. Continue to keep your blessings flowing to us and walk with us as God see over all of us.
 I love you!

REST IN HEAVEN

It’s been 15 years gone by and it will always seem like yesterday and last night in my heart and mind. We had dinner and we all enjoyed the day together with your friends and Kev’s friends. Yes, the hurt will always be there, but I learned great coping skills and understanding the will of God. Big Nardy took it extremely hard this year and believe me, I went through it with him. Know that he’s a blessed man in this life. I will always be there for him in life. Nobody is more proud of you than he is. Your leaving tire our family apart and I never tried to put it together again. Mommy is here with yiur baby brother Kev. Mond,, Simmi, and Yarmin is so dear to me and they will always be here with mommy. Charlotte, Shawnny, and Del is going through it with Jon, but they still hold me up. I want to tell you it happened like people told me it would. You know what I mean. Beautiful! As the years go by, we will always miss you, love you, and you and your name will never be forgotten and the tears will
shed forever. We love you and continue to watch over us sending those unused blessings back to us. Rest in Paradise.

Rest peacefully

Happy 40th Birthday, Leonard (Notty)!
We will always miss you, love you, and remember you in this life! Rest In Paradise!

It’s your 40th Birthday, Leonard, and we all came together in prayer at dinner. The same friends who shared life with was there with us this year. I went to see big Nardy the next day and we had our time to remember you and she’d tears. 
We celebrated your day (by compliments of Pastor Eric Boone). Mon, Simmi, Dee, dad, Fred Samuels, Kev and the crew came out to celebrate your 40th birthday!
Your baby brother, Kevin, is doing everything he can do in memory of you. I thank God for the many beautiful years we shared with you. I know I have healed from the tone you had to go. I know you are God’s son and God wanted His son back.
I know God has given me so much more since you had to leave me and I thank Him for all the love and seeing me through it all. Continue to keep us covered in blessing that you send down to us all. 
I still haven’t seen Heidi or your daughter, ILIHN at this tone. Sadly, I heard Heidi lost her mother this year. If I never see them, I know Kev will at some time. We will always love you and remember our son and our best friend, Leonard a.k.a Nod!
SEE YOU AT THE CROSSROADS!

Happy Heavenly Birthday ❤️❤️

Notty, wishing you a Happy Birthday in Heaven. I will always remember your entrance into the world and how your mother spoiled you and Kevin Jr. RIH as your legacy carries on... never to be forgotten.

I miss you Family ... Nod G ..... continue to watch over your Loved Ones ... I will see you @ The CrossRoads Gone but Never 4Gotten!!! Nod G!!!

You Never Said Goodbye
by Unknown

You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye.
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why.

A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

Continue to watch over your mom and family.

Rest Up Family!!!!!

Candle lit so u can always find your way ❤

It’s your 39th birthday and we miss you! Your friends, boi’s, and family all came thru
Simmi, Thur, Jon, Shawnny, Cousin Dee, DP, aunt Cynthia, Carl, Marguerite, and all who love you was there. Avery and Nod showed up to early, but they came out for the balloon release gathering for your 39th birthday. I talked to Greg and Marion Chapman on your birthday. We went live in FB until baby brother, Kev made me cry while singing happy birthday. We released the balloons and I released my balloon on the court. I had the event at Tolleston because you left so many memories there with your friends. You always told me your friends would be there with me. I believe I heard from everybody except Dorian. I am sure he will call eventually. We all miss you, Nod. I will go on forever and always think of you because you was my first born son and we love you. Continue to watch over us and send your unused blessings back to us all the time. There are times I can feel your spirit around me, but I never tell anyone. I wish I could tell you about your beautiful daughter, Ilihn, but I haven’t seen or heard from her. One day I will see her and tell her all about you and your life. I know Kev will see her and share great memories. Mommy always say, I love you and I will see you at the Crossroads. In remembrance of you in Heaven, on your thirty-ninth birthday!! 

Visit your mother thoughts, appear in your daughter dreams, and continue to through all your loved ones. You’re never forgotten ❤️

Days away from your 38th Birthday!
It will always be yesterday in my heart!

You will always be in our hearts

Still missing you brother.
