I am sorry for the loss of your beloved child, but it's a journey we must each one day travel.  I pray that God gives both families peace and forgiveness towards each other.  Bitterness just removes the "sweetness" that God has planned for us.  May the presence, thoughts, and love give you some comfort at this time.

Our family spent Easter Sunday with Andrae at his Aunt Lisa's house surrounded by friends and family-we were so blessed to know and love this sweet precious boy for the last 5 years. Our son Blake adored him. May God bring peace and comfort to Andrae's entire family ^i^

tee-tee cousin, nena

I am the Magnet Clerk at Dimon Elementary.  May I tell you how deeply sadden I am about Andrea.  I joked with him about us being "kin".  He would just smile shyly back at me.  I was shocked and cried when I heard.  Such a promising little boy!  I always look at children as bright promises of God.  It seems God wanted him in heaven with his great-grandmother more than here blessing us.  Know truly I am praying for you at this difficult time....I simply can't image.  God bless and keep you and yours.

Keeping the entire family in our prayers.

my heart goes out to this family, i will keep your family in prayer.

May God be with you and your family.  You are in my prayers.

"My Dearest Precious Angel":

The first time I saw your sweet little face, Ganny brought you to me - you were 15 mths. old, and I looked into the face of an angel.  I looked at this little chocolate drop with the long silky braids - I cried.  I was looking at my "baby Bootsie".  I fell in love.  I held you and kissed you - you smelled so good.  Now - my whole being is in pain.  I miss you terribly, I thought I had had a nightmare when I woke up the next morning - I can't believe you are gone.  However, I can't think of a better person or place to let you go to.  You are one of God's Angels that's going back to the bossom of the Master.  My Father has a better plan for you.  He loves you more than me, mommie, Yae-Yae, Uncle Anthony, Chris - even Ganny! Because our Father loves you more ... I let you go.  I'll always love and miss you Drae - till I see you again.  

Jimmelle, Jessica, Malachi, Messiah and Cindylu..

May God bless your family during this sad time.  May you hold you memories of you and Andrea close to your heart and cherish them forever.  I am a mother and can not imagine what you are going through.  What a terrible thing to happen to such a young boy.  God give you the strength daily and lean on him for your strength.  You are in my thoughts and prayers.  God bless you and your family.

We all miss you. We will miss you even more now that we will never see you again.I remember when you were born and I still remember when you and your brother always knock on my door to see if my grandson Tra could come out and play  we lived down stair in the back and than again upstair in the back at Cross Creek. You were a very special child that any person could love. Drae you will be missed dearly. To the Family we will keep you in our prayers Drae has giving you strength to carry on and enjoy life. He might not be with you in presents but only in spirit keep his memory alive, we will. Your great grandmother will take special care of you.

Peace be unto you as you rest in the hands of the Most High God. May your Farther, Mother and the rest of your Family rejoice in the Lord knowing that you all are still together in his hands.
