Recie you were one of my best friend. All I can remember is the good times we had together when I spent nights at your house. I remember all the times we got in trouble together and when you let me drive your car. I love you and I miss you. May heaven smile upon your face as you walk with God. You will always be missed. I cry everytime I look at your picture but I know that you are in a better place. SHINE ON ANGEL
Cheryce I don't even know how or where to begin. We have been on quite a friendship roller coaster ride in our days. Everytime that I would start to write this, I would get so worked up that I had to stop. I have some old built up feelings that I hate that I didn't get to express to you before your passing. We go sooo far back that I can remember us talking on the phone when we were at Rochelle. Your dad used to work on all of my family's cars. We were like brother and sister for so long. I don't know why I was so stubborn back in the day but it almost cost me our friendship. Right now this is the only means I have to feel like I have formally apologized for my past ignorance. This is not for anyone else to understand where I am coming from but I know that you do. Cheryce I never got to tell you but I want to now say "I'm sorry for the way I acted when we were in high school." Out of all of the Lambda vs. Sigma beefs that I was involved in, I have little regrets to be honest. But what I do regret to this very day is how you and I fell out with one another because you were going with Kareem. There were countless times that I would see you in the hallway and want to approach you to try and squash it but didn't. That was one of the hardest things that I had to endure while in school. Although you and I had long squashed it all, I still never really apologized and now I don't have a chance to. It has taken me a long time to sit down and write this but too much time has passed as is. I am so thankful that we did get a chance to become friends again when I enrolled into Fayetteville State University. You, Nicky, and Renee helped make the transition from NCCU to FSU an easy one. I do miss you and think of you quite a bit. I can't express how hurt I was when I heard of your passing. I know that you are in heaven looking over us all smiling. I have to close now so that I can get myself together before I began crying again. Thank you for putting up with my foolishness and for contiuing to be my friend. I love you and miss you! I will see you again in heaven one day.
you were truly my friend, i can remember being so young and we would play in the park behind our house, i rememmber everything we did when we were kids, the skating, hide and seek , double dutch .. the dolls, the talks the walks to school the first day of kindergarden. as i sit here and remember the good times and wipe the tears from my eyes, i know i was truly blessed to have you as my friend ... forever and a day... i think of you always and will always ...always ...always love you
Cheryce, The world has been cheated by the absence of your prescence. Maybe people can't or don't understand that what we had, was special. As I sit back thinking to where it all began with us, I find us in the auditorium of Rochelle Middle School for film day sitting in the back snuggled up together. You were my first real girlfriend. We shared our first kiss that day while we were supposed to be watching "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom". It was surreal. Holding hands in Ms. Mattocks first period P.E. class. Dancing together to "Egyptian Lover" at the end of the sixth grade at our Christmas party. So, many, many memories we made and shared together. Passing notes in Mr. Pompei's seventh period class. Getting my hands spanked by him for turning around talking to you when I was supposed to be doing my classwork. Talking for hours on end on the phone with each other. It was story book. A real life fairy-tale and you were my princess. But that was Rochelle. As we ventured to avenues of the unknown, things between us changed. Kinston Junior High would be the end of us. I remember leaving in Mrs. Malloy's "B" math class on the first floor, then running into you. I can't for the life of me remember what the conversation was, but it ended with you saying to me, "I hate you; never speak to me again". Even though those words hurt and cut like a knife, I didn't go after you. I simply let you walk out of my life. Those who know me probably can speculate what had just transpired. But from there on and even into high school, we spoke not a word to each other. We occupied our time elsewhere. You became a memory. Almost ten years after graduation, our paths would cross again. Who knew on that day; that when all questions about why we stopped talking since the 8th grade would be answered. You were getting your hair done at JC Penny's Salon when I saw you all grown up and married like myself sitting in the Sherry's chair. I started to leave for fear of the past haunting me. "I hate you, don't ever speak to me again", but I didn't. I spoke. Your eyes said it all, then you said, "Hey Tim". The conversation was what it was. It really opened pandoras. We decided to make a lunch of it. China King was our destination. We sat, ate, and talked for hours, literally hours talking and turning back time to settle some unfinished business. A misunderstanding had cost us almost 20 years of desolation from each other. If anyone can learn anything from our mistake, please talk to your loved ones. That mistake almost cost Cheryce and I the opportunity to say, "I'm sorry". We were friends again. We talked on the phone and gave advice to each other on how to stay happily married. We got a second chance. My heart drops. Almost two years after getting you back in my life, my cousin Yolonda Graham informs me that you had passed away. I died inside. I still don't believe it. As I make my rounds in the city, I pass your parents house and memories of you flood my mind. It's not fair. I couldn't attend your ...... I wouldn't see you like that. It's so final. Please forgive me. I'd rather remember you the way we last talked; smiling at me. I miss you. You'll always be in my heart. My first love.
It's taken me a great deal of time to even address this page. I have came here many times before just sat here looking at the blank screen. It wasn't that I didn't no what to say or how to say it. I just couldn't bring myself to do this without crying and well it still hasn't worked.Cheryce you meant the world to me and hurts so much that we were not together raising our kids together. there have been so many days I just wanted to pick up the phone and call you so we could go to the mall or just talk about our day.I miss you so much and what's worst is that I didn't get the chance to tell you how much I missed and loved you. I've had this hole in my heart the last 10 years, that I just can't fill.We didn't fall out,we just let something come between us that was never even worth it. Cheryce we did everything together no matter what it was we were together.No one has or ever will take your place that's why I have that hole in my heart because it's missing you. I guess it hurts so much because you cant change the past and we have no way to mend the future. I had just got your number from my mom that Oct. before you passed. I kept putting it off by saying I have time, I'll call her when she has the baby or I'll call her on her birthday. I thought i had time, But that's when Nicky called me and told me Cheryce is gone Ket. So all I can say is "I thought I had time, to much time pasted, unhealed hearts left ,no one has forever, tomorrow is never promised. Today is all that we have and sometimes today hurts more than it did yesterday. Never put off today for what you think could be tomorrow. Live for today, love hard to build tomorrows, hold onto the good and let go of the bad and the sorrows.''Cheryce I love you and I always will. You were and will always be my best friend.
I thought of you today as I do many others but today is filled with pain because, today is the day you left us to go home.You left us for a better place and I know that you are peace, my thoughts of you will never cease. I love you girl and always will. I miss you and I know sometimes you check on me because something great happens when I feel your presence. Just wanted you to know you are always thought of and missed dearly.
As most of us were, I was terribly stunned to hear about your passing on this site...how? when? where?..WOW! If I remember correctly, we lived on the same street and rode the same bus. You were such a beautiful person(and still is in heaven I'm sure)...this goes to show you that you have to cherish people when they're alive...
Ryce, donna did a phenomenal job remembering you and your caring ways. although you weren't there in body, i KNOW you were there in spirit. you will always be remembered, daily, for your life and the light that you shared. continue to rest in his arms. much love girlie!
Cheryce, you took us all by surprise, however, God knows best. You will surely be missed and often thought of. Everyone knew Spud but you... you created your own mark in our hearts and minds. Keep me a spot warm in Heaven. We will meet again.
We miss you Cheryce.
