I have known you since you were a young boy. Full of energy and lots of jokes. I watch you grow into the man you are today. For something like this to take you away just when you were starting to live your life lays heavy on my heart and soul. You always called me mom and like some of the friends that Frankie and Shannon brought around you were like a son to me. I remember when you came home this last time, I jumped in your butt about staying out of trouble. Your brother Frankie is not taken this very well, there were unfinish issues that I am sure he thought he had time to fix with you, I think this is the hardest for him. But I knew like always things would be good between the two of you because brothers don't stay mad for very long. Your niece Aaliyah was so excited to see you. She would call you just to say hello. When Neco got into trouble you were right there to get into his butt, just like an uncle would do. When he needed advice, you were right there to give it to him straight. He will always appreciate that. You called him that Wednesday night to ask about a job and you were excited for him. I have no idea on what this is doing to your family, but if it's hard for me to accept this, I am sure its much harder for them. You were always flying high with dreams and ambition, now you have wings to fly. Fly high my son, watch over everyone down here. See you one day. Miss and love you. Your other mom.
