Donald today was really hard for me my mind and my heart are trying to come to terms that your not here anymore. I wish I had the courage to come visit you today, but I just can’t I’m still trying to get that image of your funeral out of my head. Seeing you like that was traumatizing for me. I still think about you at least 3 times a day so many thoughts about you cross my mind on a daily. I get so much comfort when I feel like you visit me in my dreams. I wake up so happy although in those dreams I never get to tell you how thankful I am for having you, how much I love you and how much we miss you. Donavan wrote you a letter for Father’s Day and it broke my heart to know the pain that he’s feeling when I build up the courage and strength Were going to come read it to you. Devonte teases them about how he has your middle name at first he hated it lol. Dwayne looks so much like you and act just like you🤦‍♀️😂. We celebrated 9 of your birthdays together and man did we have fun,we started running out of things to do. But anyways I just wanted to say happy birthday and I love you.

I know you want me to be strong so I try to cry less and be happy like you would want me to be but it’s so hard ducky.You were my backbone and you made me sooo happy and my days worth living. I can not even explain how much I’m missing you and wish you were here!!! I would give EVERYTHING to have you back with me!! Everyday it’s a struggle for me without u!!! I miss your presence around me, I miss going to sleep and waking up to you. I miss your caring and loving personality. I miss your sexy handsome self baby! Your smile, your dimples, your laugh, your encouragement everything about u I miss!! I miss holding u kissing u etc. No one could ever take your place you literally have my whole heart!You are a great man! Its hard for me to be here without you.My life has changed dramatically since u been gone.It hurts me how you had to go!! You looked out for your fake “homies “ and it’s really grimey how they didn’t look out for u!! All of your so called “homies” are straight up Cowards period to handle u like that. I know for a fact they couldn’t face you man to man.Your “homies” were always jealous and envied you. You had gansterism that they wish they had. It’s in you not on you and they knew it.They wanted want you had. My faith is strong and I know nothing good is going to come to them. God will handle them and bring all of this to light! It brings tears to my eyes to even write this but I know your in a better place away from all this bs, drama, & sorrow that this world brings. I can’t wait to see and be with you again!! I made a promise that I will always be here for u and I’m standing by that forever and ever. The good and real ones always go to soon!! You were one of them!! You are with me and I know it and I will always be with u ducky!! You were my blessing in disguise but now I have a personal guardian angel! Please watch over me and your family and let us know everything will be alright! I pray day and night for God to give me strength,to ease my pain and justice for u ducky!! I can go on and on ducky and u know it!! I can not take being in Inglewood at all because it Saddens me and I don’t want to relive the tragedy.You are the real Champion and chief of Inglewood period! The only thing that keeps me going is our memories and the good times we had, you came into my life and blessed me! You showed and taught me what true love is. I always look at our pictures and breakdown but at the same time I’m glad I had u for the time I did. I really wish I had more time with you ducky!! We had plans etc. I will always be here for u and with u!! Gone but never forgotten! You will always be apart of me. I don’t know the meaning of life or even how to live with out u ducky!
