Hey Troy,

You were one of the only people I know that would not give up that big old nextel phone. You just got a new phone like last year(sike:). The day I met you, you were on that big old phone laughing and joking. That smile is what got me and your personality was what kept us friends over the years. Good or bad you were always special to me and you still are and probably will always be. It is so hard to believe I can't call you to tell you HAPPY BIRTHDAY sweetheart or see you and give you a big hug. I still think about you all the time and sometimes I feel you around me( a little spooky at times). Sometimes my dreams feel so real but I wake up and reality sets in and I understand it was only a dream. I just want to tell you I LOVE and MISS YOU. HAPPY BIRTHDAY and as always, I will continue to pray for your children, family and many friends.

Happy goble goble day is what I would be text messaging your phone if you were here. You would call me later in the day saying," why you up so early, you know I ain't no morning person but thank you Miss Kat". I wish I could text you right now, but it wouldn't say happy gobble gobble day it would say, I miss you so much fat boy.I wonder if you have on some jordans, a t-shirt and some jeans seating at the table asking for more food. I love you Troy and I will continue to pray for your family.

Hey T-ROY,

Hi Troy,

It's me again. I had to stop by and write today, because I attended the bull roast last night, and when I say it just wasn't the same, I mean that is just wasn't the same. I kept thinking that I would turn around and see your smiling face, but it never happened. I went on the floor to dance, and was waiting for you to come up and dance behind me, but it never happened. It just wasn't the same. I miss u oh so much, and I wish I could say that it's getting easier, but it really isn't. Your mother was there, and we chatted for a while. I told her how much I loved you, and of course she expressed the same. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that you are still on my mind and forever in my heart. Until the next time, I'm holding on to our memories and thinking about your smiling face.

HEY, MY BROTHER, NOT A DAY GOES BY AND I DON'T CHECK YOUR PAGE TO SEE WHAT OTHERS HAD TO SAY. I JUST COULD NOT GET THE NERVE TO WRITE. EVERY TIME I START TO SAY SOMETHING I BEGIN TO CRY. YOU SEE I DID NOT ONLY LOOSE A BROTHER , I LOST A FRIEND, A BUDDY, A PROTECTOR.BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? I HAVE YOUR MEMORY THAT LIVES ON IN MY HEART FOREVER. TROY I CAN SIT HERE ALL DAY AND NIGHT AND WRITE ABOUT THOSE DAYS. MAN DID WE HAVE FUN, TALKING ON MY PORCH ABOUT THE GOOD OL' DAYS. TROY I CAN REMEMBER WHEN WE USED TO PLAY AROUND THE APARTMENTS. MAN DID WE MEET A LOT OF PEOPLE IN 27 YEARS THERE. ONLY IF YOU KNEW HOW MUCH I MISS MY BROTHER, IT LIKE BATMAN WITHOUT ROBIN, SUPERMAN WITHOUT HIS CAPE. AND NOW DUBIE WITHOUT TROY, MAN WE WERE LIKE PEAS AND CARROTS. BUT NEVER WILL I SAY ANYTHING ABOUT YOU IN A NEGATIVE WAY . YOU WERE THE PERFECT BROTHER THAT A BROTHER COULD EVER HAVE. AND I LOVE YOU FOR THAT . SO KEEP WATCHING OVER US AND PROTECT US FROM ABOVE. NOW I HAVE TO GO BUT I'LL BE BACK ANOTHER DAY. REST EASY MY BROTHER, REST EASY.

I still visit your page regularly because this is as close as I'll come to seeing you again. Your are missed dearly and thought of daily.

Last year you told me you were going to hang out with me on my birthday. Why are you not here so you can keep your promise? I know that question is very selfish of me to ask but it's a question I wish could be answered. I miss you more and more each day. Having you around became too normal for me because I just recently got a new phone and I started to store your number. I know I can call the number but you won't answer so what's the point. Just the other day I said, why hasn't he called me and then reality hit me in the face, hard as ever. Your gone, only to return in my dreams and on judgment day. I love you and miss your sense of humor. I guess I will see you in my dreams........ As always I continue to pray for your family and friends.

Hey Troy,

It's been a good eight months or more now since you've been gone. I still have your picture sitting on my desk at work, and my heart still aches every time I think about the fact that you are really gone. I had another dream about you, and I woke up in tears. It all seems so unreal, and so unfair. It's unfair that so many of us are without a true friend, and even more unfair that your family has lost you. I know that I am not supposed to question God, but it seems that the good ones are always taken away too soon. I can still hear your voice sometimes, and that's when I feel the emptiness the most. I still remember the last time I saw you, and I can see it clear as day. I just wish I would have told you so many things that I was feeling. You always blamed me, and now I sometimes find myself doing the same thing, because I guess I could have done more. Anyway, it's too late now, but I know that you knew in your heart, so I'll try not to be so hard on myself. I just wish I could see your smiling face, or hear you talk to me like you were my father one more time. LOL I think about your ABC rail days and the fun we used to have. But most of all, I think about the sacrifices you made as man. You are a great example of what a man should be to his family and friends, and that was one of the reasons that I loved you so much. I know it's been a while since I've written, but please don't think for a minute that you haven't been on my mind. You are, and always will be, forever on my mind, and in my heart. I love u Troy!

Hey Troy,

Just wanted to say Hi. Man I wish that I could just call you and hang out just one more time. I remember the last time we talked I told you I was going to call you back but I never got that chance too. Life is full of regrets and that will always be one of my biggest regrets. But your moving on has shown me that life is too short and you never know when God is going to call you home. Miss you boy and see you in my dreams and thoughts for now.

Your Boy,

Tony

You've been on my mind a lot lately and I am missing you more. Maybe it is because I can't talk to you to tell you the good news or my bad news or any news at all. I know you know everything that's going on with me, but it is just different not being able to hear your voice. I think I was so used to your help that I feel helpless now that you are gone. You would be so proud of me if you were here and I would be happy because you were happy. It may not make sense to others but you know what I am talking about. You understood the complicated person that is me and you embraced me. I loved you since the first day I laid eyes on you and the last day I laid eyes on you I knew it would never go away. You will forever have a special place in my heart and as always, I continue to pray for your family.

Hey,

This your boy Stink. I just wanted to tell you I Love You. Your children are doing well, and mom's and grandma is good. I know you saw that big move the Boston Celtics just made by signing Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. I was waiting for your call on that one. Your still my best friend and I miss our early morning talks man. Keep watching over me while I keep praying.

I'll see you when I get there!!

"Give me a couple of 60 seconds and I'll call you right back". What I would give to hear that line come from your mouth one more time. I miss you so much and I appreciate the person you were in my life. Our friendship was and still is important to me. I still remember our last conversation, where I was and what we talked about.... Wow I still can't believe you are gone. Your sense of humor with the infamous "diner" was so funny to me because I didn't get it at all, that's what I miss the most. This year has forced me and many other people to realize life is really not promised to anyone. It was an eye-opener and it lets me know if you love someone, tell them. Tell them now before it's too late so they can hear you and maybe even tell you back. You knew my true feelings for you and I knew yours as well, for that I will always be grateful. You are still loved and truly missed and in closing I continue to pray for your family.

The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

Hey Troy,

You were on my mind so I decided to write.

Losing a good friend is hard to deal with but with God's grace we are pushing on. I know to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, but it all just seems wrong. The streets of Baltimore are getting worse by the day but I know God has you on special detail, watching over us and keeping us safe. My selfishness just wish we could have had you with us a little longer, but the Lord knows best. Throughout my life I've lost many close relatives and friends and it never gets easier.

Troy, take pride in knowing that you have left behind many people that love and care for you. That's the sign of an honest and true friend. As we reflect on your memories we share so many tears but even more laughs.

What a special son, grandson, brother, father, uncle, cousin, nephew and friend you were. Everlasting LOVE

Until Next Time

Troy you and the family are always in my hearts and prayers. It wasn't suppose to gone down like this. I feel so guilty that I couldn't be there for you. I was just thinking about a day you, me, Dubie, and Kenji were walking home from elementary school and you said we'd always be friends...I couldn't believe I remembered that. It's funny how the mind works. Dubie, holla back Bro!!
