TEAR

I am still here
I am still around
Only my body lies in the ground.
I am the frost that nips your toes
I am the sun bringing you light
I am the star, shining so bright 
I am the rain, refreshing the earth
I am the laughter
I am the mirth
I am the bird up in the sky
I am the cloud, that's dripping by
I am the thoughts inside your head
While I'm still there, I can't be dead

Love,
Cousin Josie

Tamika

Tamika, gentle soul,

With a smile that felt like home.
You moved through life so lightly,
Dancing in your own quiet joy.

Twenty-five years was not enough,
Not for a heart so warm and bright.
Though you left too soon,
Your sweetness still lingers with us.

In every soft breeze,
In every song that makes us sway,
We will remember you - 
Smiling, dancing, shining your light.


Rest well,

Love, Cousin Montiesha

HEY BIG COUSIN

Hey Big Cousin I don't think there is enough goodbye's, we miss you, the family can say. That proves how much we mean it. Losing you shook the city up with this one, but your energy moved the room, while you up there, share that energy with the family so we can two step our way through life with you.

Love you,
Mika

IN OUR HEARTS

We thought of you today.
But that was nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday.
And days before that too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have are memories.
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake.
With which we'll never part.
God has you in His keeping.
We have you in our heart.

Cousin Isaiah and Mia

GOD SAW YOU

God saw you getting tired when cure was that to be, 
So He wrapped His arms around you and
He whispered, "Come to me." You didn't deserve what you went through
So He gave you needed rest. God's garden must be beautiful.
He only takes the Best

Love,
Cousin Tamala

A Mirror in the Sky

We shared a name, a gentle bond, 
From childhood days, of which we're fond.
You wore it with grace so bright,
A mirror image of my light.

Though fate has called you far too soon,
And left us beneath a silent moon,
I look in the mirror and see you there,
A kindred spirit beyond compare.

You are the whisper in my own name,
A gentle, everlasting flame.
Though you have left this earthly place,
I'll carry your memory, your warmth, your grace.

With every breath I take, you live on too,
My beloved cousin, who bore my name so true.

TODAY IS LOVE YOUR NIECE DAY
MAY MINE ALWAYS
REMEMBER SHE IS
BEAUTIFUL, CONFIDENT
RADIANT, AND LOVED
BEYOND WORDS

Until We Meet Again Niece

We think about you always, we talk about you still
You have never been forgotten, and you never will
We hold you close within our heart and that’s where
You will remain
To walk and guide us through life as our guardian
Angel until we meet again.

LOVE AUNT JAN AND FAMILY

In Loving Memory of our Wonderful Niece

Of all the special gifts in life
However great or small, to have you as our Niece was the greatest gift of all.

May the winds of love blow softly
And whisper in your ear
“We love and miss you
And wish that you were here.”

Deep in our hearts, your life is kept to love and cherish not to forget. 
No more tomorrows we can share but yesterdays are always there.

A silent thought, a secret tear
Keeps your memory ever near
In our hearts forever.

For Our Daughter
Missing you always Tamika.
You never said goodbye or that you were leaving. You were gone before we knew it. Only God knows why. In life we loved you dearly, and in death we love you the same. In our heart we hold a special place only you can fill. It breaks our heart to lose you and a part of us went with you.

Love Mom and Dad

Everyday I look for a phone call from you. It breaks my heart to write this messages to you twin. I never got to tell you that you was more than a lil cousin to me. You are my sister ❤️. I’ve cried out loud and silently.  I will never understand why he took you from me, when all I ever ask was for you to make it home. I love you so much.

They both loved me unconditionally and showed up for me no matter what when her baby called she was there I love you & I’m sorry u have to go thru this but I thank you for accepting and allowing me to be apart of what you created you will forever have a spot in my heart ❤️

Always The Life Of Any Party She Stepped In , Always smiling , dancing , Joking around there was never a time when you ran into Tamika and she ain’t light up light a light bulb ! Your smile , your joy , Your light will always shine ✨

Forever Until Next time … You Will forever be missed ! Always a see you later never a goodbye ❤️🕊️

Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you. I still hear your laugh in my head and see your smile like you’re about to walk in the room any second. It hurts knowing you’re not here with us, but I find comfort believing you’re resting peacefully in heaven.

You were light, you were love, you were joy. You made everything brighter just by being you. I miss our talks, our laughs, your energy  I miss you.
