A wonderful soul  / Lauren Spearman (Childhood friend/ ex-girlfriend )

Miss Shay, I miss you and your family and I am praying for you.  Jevon was a wonderful person, that I loved very much, and I always will love him. He always new how to make me smile and everyone around him. He was a special person that I am glad that I got a chance to know. It is rare that one meets a person that was like Jevon. He knew what the meaning of friendship was. In fact he taught me how to love and to be a friend. He is a person that I will never forget.

Easter is coming, Easter is coming......  / Sue~ Mom To Ashley Trapp

Shay,



Easter Morn

Easter morn with lilies fair

Fills the church with perfumes rare,

As their clouds of incense rise,

Sweetest offerings to the skies.

Stately lilies pure and white

Flooding darkness with their light,

Bloom and sorrow drifts away,

On this holy hallow'd day.

Easter Lilies bending low

in the golden afterglow,

Bear a message from the sod

To the heavenly towers of God

By Louise Lewin Matthews

God Bless You Shay,
Sue, Ashley’s Mom

Thinking of you Jevon!  / Sue~ Mom To Ashley Trapp
Hi Jevon,

I don't know if you ever liked Halloween but it was one of my Ash's favorite holidays. Yes, she is Christian, but it was all in entertainment, she just was a young woman who never grewup and didn't care.  She truly enjoyed life and I have a feeling you did.  So, I just wanted to say "Happy Halloween."



Hi Shay.  I hope you are feeling a little better, its such a hard road.  I have been feeling blue the last couple of days but I just had to stop in and say hello.  I have to keep reminding myself that one day we will have a glorious reunion with our children.  Thank God!  Please take care, and I am asking the Father to bless you with peace and comfort.

Love Sue, Ashley's Mom Close

For Jevon and his loved ones!  / Sue~ Mom To Ashley Trapp

Hey Jevon,

I know you have it all in heaven, but I just want to give you something.  This candle will burn forever.  You, Jevon will never be forgotten and forever loved!  Our Father, says so.  And, I want to thank your family for visiting my daughters my site.  But, if you see my Ash, run from her, she will get you in trouble everytime.  Instead of singing Hymms, she will try to make you mmmbopp. That crazy girl.



Forever your friend in Christ
Love, Sue
Ashley's Mom

U reamin in our HEARTS  / Sharon (STAR) Sadler (AUNT)
Dear Jevon,

First of all Happy B-day to you.  I know you saw me, Zsa and Uncle O as we prayed that morning and wished you a happy b-day.  I know its been awhile since I've written but sometimes it's even too hard for me.  I know you understand that you are always in our thoughts and in our hearts, but on days like your b-day it's a bit more emotional because we miss that big hearty laugh of yours.  I always knew I would see you on your b-day because of that crazy gift(money) thing that you and your cousin Shante' had going on since high school.  You two were serious about the birthdays.  I know you here the conversations that Zsa and I have about you, she misses you very much but she's so mature and she really understands that your are happy and at peace where you are.  Can you believe your little baby cousin that used to follow you around is going to middle school this year.  She's going to the 6th grade.  And she's as tall as I am.  She's not our baby anymore.  Well I love you Jay and miss you terribly.  But you still manage to put a smile on my face simply just by thinking of you or remembering a special moment with you.  Keep looing out for your family (all of us) we need it, and we'll be talking to you soon.  
Love you big boy,
STAR Close

What a Beautiful Tribute  / Belinda Barksdale (church member )
This is the first time that I am seeing this website, and it is a beautiful tribute to the life and memory of Jevon. I did not know him personally but I just know from looking at the pictures and reading the tributes that he was LOVED and obviously loved in return.  I just pray that God will comfort you. It is hard losing a loved one, I have watched my mother endure for the past 3 years in the loss of her son but I know that YOU WILL SEE HIM AGAIN.  The is our reward when we live a life that is Holy, SAVED and Christ-Like.  

I am praying for you also...that you as you endure the challenging days that you will know that your church family is lifting you (and your family) up in prayer.  Whatever the doctors may say or think, remember you have another Doctor (Jesus) who is a healer, a deliverer and it's in HIM that we put our faith and trust.

God bless you,

Belinda Barksdale Close

satan can't mess with him anymore  / Jeana Harris (spiritual aunt )
Hi Shay....I know it took me a long time to write something.  This event hurts me so much I sometimes don't want to talk about it.  I wish I could of known him a little better.  We some how connected when we did meet.  I liked him from the jump.

My prayer for you is that you never, never take your hand out of God's hand.  There is an answer for all of this down the road.  You and Kena must keep travelling your road to find out the answer.

Don't ever think you were a bad mother or you didn't do enough for Jevon.  You were his strength and it was you Chez who introduced him to Christ.  As he layed there on his last bed I believe he and GOD were having an awesome conversation.  GOD told him about all the drugs and mood swings he would be having if he stayed and then HE told him about heaven.  And Jevon said heaven sounds great.  I also believe Christ came to get him when it was time.  That's why you had so much peace because you knew and still know where he is.  This is not the end but the beginning of something new.  You are such a strong indvidual.  Only made stronger by your ordeals.

Stay glued to GOD.  He will see you through everything.  I know it and believe it because He said it and He holds his word higher then His name.

God bless you and Kena.  I love you both.  So glad we are family. Close

To the family  / Malverna Hyman (Friend/Co Worker )
Jevon was truely a good friend and a hard worker, I use to work with Jevon at the airport. He'd make all of us laugh and he'd let us listen to the rap songs he was working on. It broke my heart read that he's gone, but the times we laughed and rapped together will live on!

In Memoriam...  / Lauran &. Nakia Merritt (Family)

Hi Shay-

Of course nothing I can say or do will fill the hole now in your life.  But perhaps this quote, from a Church of England cleric, may give you some comfort.

Death is nothing at all.  I have slipped away into the next room.  I am I, and you are you.  Whatever we were to each other, that we are still.  Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used.  Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.  Laugh as we always laughed, at the little jokes we enjoyed together.  Pray, smile, think of me, pray for me.  Let my name be the household word that it always was.  Let it be spoken without effect, without trace of shadow on it.  Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was, there is an unbroken conti­nuity.  What is death but a negligible accident?  Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?  I am waiting for you for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner.

All is well.

—Canon Henry Scott Holland (1847–1918)

Please accept our condolences, and call if there is anything we can do for you.

Death seems so permanent at times.  Nakia recently lost his father and there is nothing to prepare you for the untimely death of a loved one.  No two people grieve alike and you know better than any of us that grieving occurs in stages.  May the Lord keep you and Kena in his arms and comfort you through the tough times.  I have not seen or spoken to you since Jay's passing.  I know that when you are ready, you will call.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

With all our love, Lauran & Nakia.

Jevon: My Friend, My Love, My  / Tiffany Kyieasha Barkley (Best Friends )
Jevon, I miss you every single day.  I was in total disbelief when I got word of what happened to you.  I just have to thank God for putting each of us in each others lives.  You helped me through so many hard times at school.  You kept encouraging me when times got hard and my classes were tough.  It was very surreal being home for Thanksgiving and Christmas because the past few years I always saw you when I was back in New Jersey.  I was deeply saddened at first but now when I think of you, I smile because I know I have an angel looking out for me.  It's going to be hard but I'll be okay.  I remember all the times we've shared, all the movies we saw, all the laughs we had with Angel and Craig.  We were a squad and with out you, nothing will ever be the same. Remember the name Mr. Nic gave you. Je-von he called you.  Had to break it down to every syllable.  Remember Charon and I's nickname for you. Jovan. She says she misses taking those rides up to Lincoln with you in Maxine.  I still have Cherry and I remember when you gave her to me.  She has now taken on a new meaning in my head and my heart.  I love you Jevon, always have, always will.  I'll see you again. I'm not worried about that.  I saw Craig while I was home and it felt so good to talk about you and share memories of you with someone that loved you just as much as I did.  Love you baby!  Always-Tickle Close
