Sitting here still trying to figure out how to breathe, how to stop crying, and how to sleep. My heart is heavy and my mind is spinning out of control trying to process what's really going on right now.
I love you and I miss you!

All this is wrong, it feels all wrong. I have seen a lot of people go "home", death is apart of life and we all know this but when its not right or to soon we all can feel that too. God has a plan for all of us and it is not to be questioned but I too just can not understand or accept this. We take for granted the people we have in our lives, expecting them to always be there. I know so many people including myself have so many things to say and/or do with you, its just unsettling. Knowing u are at peace helps me remember the positive. You can see we are all hurting so bad with our tears, anger, and confusion. Please help us be at peace with this. I know your listening looking down on us. Dang pook this is a rough one.
To the family, I want to give you my deepest sympathy! I'm soo sorry for your loss. You are all in my prayers. Love you, Leah

I met Pookie when he was 15, I was 19 and he instantly became part of my life. At a young age he had "it". He always made me laugh and he made me feel like I was family. I was big sis and he was lil bro. We never had any downs. I was there when Ms. Carol passed and now I am not able to be there for his passing. If I could I would. I love you more than anyone could ever imagine. You will always be my lil bro and I pray that your children remember your smile and laughter. The only thing that will slow down my tears is the memory of your laughter and our inside jokes. I love you my Pooks always and forever! My condolences to your children, your family, your friends and the love of your life.
A loyal friend and sister.

I want to send my condolences to all of Pookie's family 1st and foremost. I know the feeling of losing someone you really love and care about. It's a great deal of pain. But we have to keep our heads up and stay strong for him because that is what he would want. Also to all his friends, he was loved by so many!!! Stay strong through this, I know there is no bringing him back but we have to keep his memories alive. R.I.P Pookie ( God Rest Your Soul ).....

I can't believe this is real. I have so many memories of us when we were younger. You always had this hard shell on the outside but you were really loving and caring on the inside. I remember when we were little I asked you why I had to call you Uncle Pookie and I received a simple but smart response "because I said so" lol. I'm so hurt and angry with myself for not keeping in contact with u all these years, and it hurts even more that I can't say goodbye and tell you how much I love you. I hate that this had to happen so soon but now you are in a much better place. I love you so much Uncle Pookie, and once again I'm so sorry.

First & foremost I want to extend my sincere condolences to Rob's children & family. It was not too long ago he was extending his condolences to me on the passing of my husband..this is very sad, I had Rob as a student in middle school & he was such a jokster & prankster. kept us laughing even when teaching a lesson...He had an infectious smile that will light up anyones day. May his memories & smiles come thru his children to comfort you.. GOD has another ANGEL in HIS home. REST IN HEAVEN

I've written and deleted this so many times. Here months later and I still feel like this happened 5 minutes ago.We needed you we always have and you're gone. It's not fair. We've gone through so much, the pain weighs my shoulders to the floor.Ramiyah wants to know your okay so bad.She cries in school and falls asleep with your bracelet at night.She asks questions that I'll never have a perfect answer to.I try to stay strong for her and me but it hurts.Please watch over her and all of the kids.We love you Pook always have & always will.
