I love you, Titi. Still working towards my dreams, seeking to make something of myself before I leave here and go to you. Keep watch over me and send me the positive energy I need to succeed. Your baby boy, Izzy.

Hey titi, it’s your nephew, Izzy. It’s been exactly nine years since you been gone and I just wanted to let you know that I miss you dearly. I’m still finding myself and I know wholeheartedly that if you were here with me, I’d be a better man, but that doesn’t mean I’m giving up. I know you’re watching me from heaven and I pray that your guidance will help me get to where I need to be. Again, I love you and can’t waut ‘til I see you again.

I’m still here missing you, Titi. No time will ever elapse that I won’t think of you. I hope to see you again someday. 

My deepest condolences to Dennis, Brian, Isaiah, Briana, my aunt & cousins.  I know it’s not easy to lose someone we all love but we must thank God for having the opportunity to know her even though it was for a short time.   Sandra touched so many by her strengths and unconditional Love which we should all live by example.  She will always have a special place in many of our hearts….and will never be forgotten.  I pray that God be with our family in this time of sorrow.
Sincerely,
Mindy Hernandez-Morales

 RIP MRS.PERRY

Words cannot describe how sorry I am about our loss! Sandra was a GREAT friend and its unfortunate that distance had put us out of touch. But one thing I can assure you is that the times that Sandra and I shared were priceless, full of laughter and will always be cherished! She will truly be missed! May God give each one of you his comfort and peace.
Love, Chanabelle

Dennis,
My prayers are with you and your family.  I know Sandra will be miss by many, but never forgotten.  I will always remember her kindness, friendship and lovely smile.  I also wanted you to know that I am very proud of you and your family members/friends for their ongoing efforts to stand by Sandra as she was dealing with her health situation. I believe that one’s life journey isn’t only about the amount of time that you spend on earth, but how many people’s life did you touch and make better.  There is no doubt in my mind that Sandra was of a special kind, who touch many lives, especially mine.  I know GOD is smiling because one of his earthy angels has returned to heaven.

I had the pleasure of working with Sandra for several years at SDoL. She was a beautiful lady, inside and out, intelligent, enthusiastic, warm, and friendly. The students loved her and she loved them. I will miss her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

To your family from the McFadden family our prayers goes out to you all.

To my friend Flo, Teddy, Perry and children … my heart goes out to you and your family as you mourn the loss of your loved one … Sandra was a beautiful, beautiful person inside and out, and I know she will be truly missed not only by her immediate family, but to all who knew her.  I pray for comfort and peace for each of you, but know that God makes no mistakes, He knows that you love Sandra, but He loves her even more.  She’s at peace now with no more suffering or pain and she’ll be forever smiling down upon you until you met up with her again at her new address (Heaven)!
Love, and may Heaven shine upon you …
Elaine Jones

TO my family at this time i want to send condolences to you all i wrote this poem a few years ago when i lost a close friend it truly helped through the loss hope it will do the same for you

                  CLOSE YOUR EYES
    To lose a loved one is very hard.
    We feel a big void in our lives.
    We often cry when we think of them.
    We wonder how can we make it with out them.
    First we have to understand that we are
                   GODS CHILDREN
    Then we need to know that he has a plan for all of us
    For comfort and support we need to know that
   

    WHEN YOU MISS THEIR SMILE JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES
                          AND YOU WILL SEE IT
    WHEN YOU MISS THEIR TOUCH JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES
                          AND YOU WILL FEEL IT
    WHEN YOU MISS THEIR LAUGH JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES
                          AND YOU WILL HEAR IT
     WHEN YOU MISS THEIR HUG JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES
            AND SQUEEZE YOU WILL FEEL THEM
     BUT MOST OF ALL WHEN YOU NEED TO FEEL THEIR LOVE
     JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND PLACE YOUR HAND ON YOUR
    HEART FEEL THE BEAT THAT IS YOUR LOVE ONE BECAUSE THEY
    LIVE ON THROUGH YOU.        THEY ARE ALWAYS WITH YOU
                            JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES

with love Shanika Weldon Johnson & Family

An angel has been received in heaven. She had such a wonderful spirit and a loving heart. She will truly be missed. May god comfort you in your sorrow.

MRS.PERRY, IT WAS HEART WRENCHING TO OPEN THE PAPER THIS AFTERNOON AND SEE YOUR FACE STARING BACK AT ME. YOU WERE LIKE A SECOND MOTHER TO ME, ALLOWING ME TO COME AND PLAY WITH BRIANA AND ISAIAH…..YOU WERE MY SHOULDER TO CRY ON. YOU WERE MY GUARDIAN ANGEL ON EARTH. I WAS A STUDENT, BUT WE TALKED LIKE ADULTS. THIS REALLY GOT TO ME. I LOVE YOU MRS. PERRY. LAST TIME I TALKED TO YOU, YOU SAID THAT YOU WERE OK AND WE WOULD GET TOGETHER AGAIN. I AM REALLY GONNA MISS YOU. REALLY! BUT REMEMBER WE WILL BE WITH YOU SOON

OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES GO OUT TO ALL FAMILY AND FRIENDS WHO WAS FORTUNATE TO HAVE SHARED LIFE WITH SANDRA…SANDRA.. TO YOU I SAY I LOVE YOU … MAY YOU ALWAYS BE IN HARMONY WITH THE BEAUTY AND WONDERS OF GOD’S WORLD…SANDRA WILL LIVE ON IN THE HEARTS OF EVERYONE WHO LOVED HER…AGAIN I’M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS…

To Dennis, Brian, Isiah and Briana,

Please do not be unhappy just because she’s out of sight.
Remember she is with you every morning, noon and night.
That day she had to leave you when her life on earth was through.
God picked Sandra up and hugged her and HE said, "I welcome you."

When you think of her life on earth, and all those loving years
because you four are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together you four can do it by taking one day at at time.
When you’re walking down the street, and Sandra’s on your mind.
She’s walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

God bless you and I loved Sandra. We’ll see her again in her heavenly spirit without pain or suffering.

Love you,
Aunt Debbie

To the Family,

I extend to you my deepest and heartfelt sympathy for your loss.  One hardly knows the words to offer when someone so young is taken so soon; so may I offer my prayers for you to our Lord and our savior.  I pray that he will bless you, and comfort you, in your time of sorrow.

I love you and i will miss you
