BIRTHDAY MEMORIAM
Well, the time has come again my brother, to tell you happy birthday. So, happy be- lated birthday, my Yogi. May God bless your spirit.
Baby, I know you left your body sadly and that’s a shame. But, someday, God will reveal the truth publicly and I will keep trying my best to make that happen.
Since I’m the only one try- ing so hard to do so, I really hurt so bad about you. I ask myself all the time, when will this pain stop hurting?
I’m so sorry, Yogi, R.I.P. my brother. Fly high with the angels, make them smile in heaven brother, and may your big heart glow very bright in heaven as well.
NATHANIEL R. O’NEAL, III March 22, 1971 – April 2, 2003

ANYTHING TO SEE YOU SMILE
AVI 6/16/87 – 3/29/14
Mama, I came down and sat with you when you cried that night. I sat beside you, held your hand, and then hugged your neck real tight. I saw you drift off to sleep, sitting in the chair. I kissed you on your cheek, so you’d know that I was there. And in your sleep you talked to me, and I talked to you. We talked about the things we never got to do. You told me how much you missed me and how you think of me each day. You reached out for me in your sleep saying, “son don’t go, please stay.” As I sat there watching you, you began to cry, shouting, screaming to our Father, “oh God, please tell me why.”
Mama, it’s not for us to ask why, how or when. Just know, if we ask, He’ll wash away our sins!
Mama, I want you to know I was there each time you cried. I’d put my head on your lap and I would lay by your side. I laid there staring at the tear tracks running down your face, then I whispered softly in your ear, “Ma, I’m in a better place.”
Mama, I know you’re sad, but be sad just for a little while. So when you hear someone say my name, it’ll make you smile.
Always with you, Avi.
BIRTHDAY MEMORIAM
Happy 63rd birthday, Mom.
Remember- ing you is easy, we do it every day. Missing you is the heartache that never goes away.
Love: Jasmine, Joey and family.
