there is room enough in paradise to have a home in glory! “and god shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
welcome to your new home in paradise. your sojourn and your work here has been completed.
the lord makes no mistakes. your spirit and love will live on in those who knew and loved you. celebrate tyrese's life, and let the peace and comfort of the lord envelop you during those moments of sorrow.

December 21, 2012

Ty Ty,

I feel like I'm in a bad dream. Your death seems surreal to me. On Thursday, December 13 (two days before your death), I hugged you for the last time, saw your smiling face for the last time and spoke with you for the last time. However, not knowing it was our last time together. I can still hear your voice of our last conversation. It's ringing in my head over and over again.

I thank God for allowing us to have and share our last time together which was so pleasurable(as always). Like I told you that night, it was good seeing you and you looked good.

Thank you God for blessing and placing such a handsome and well-mannered young man in our family. He was such an angel.

Ty TY, you will be deeply missed. May you now rest in the comfort of our almight God's arms. In spite of our deepest sorrow, God still gets all the honor and glory for He is worthy to be praise.

To my family (Sheppard, Griffin and Roper)we will get through this together because God has binded us together with chords of love that cannot be broken.

Ty Ty, you will be in our hearts forever. Love you always,

this is all still unreal to me. it's like i just talked to Tyreke and just seen him. I've known Tyreke since 6th grade. The first year of our friendship was rocky but we got through that. last year me and his friendship got stronger, we got really close. anytime something was wrong he would talk to me sometimes even cry to me in school and over the phone. Tyreke; like everybody else in this world has gone through a lot and has a story. i have many great memories of Tyreke. one of my most favorite memories is when me and Tyreke walked around the gym talking about things that happened in middle school and he was telling me how much he has changed since middle school. i will miss Tyreke dearly he was a great friend that kept me laughing no matter what kind of day i was having. R.I.P Tyreke I love you.
