RELL PARENTS |
To our son -JARRELLE
We hope you know how truly proud we are of you and the man you had grown up to be. Rell you are a fine son you were and will always be. You were strong, generous, and always ready to jump in feet first to help others. You were capable of anything you set your mind to and there weren't too many things you wouldn't tackle. (Big Johntape records.)
Jarrelle I had no idea how tall and strong and handsome you were I didn't seem to know it until I look at your pictures that you was a young man I always looked at you as little boy my little boy.,You were humble and sometimes shy, and always sensitive to the feelings of people around you.
WHAT DON'T KILL YOU ONLY MAKE YOU STRONGER?
YOUR PARENTS LOVE YOU RELL

I will celebrate your birth. I will celebrate my love for you and share my memories with whomever will listen to me. On the date of your death, I will silently pray for you as I always do, but I will not let this rule me. I will not think of the way you died, but the way you lived and the love that you brought me and our family. I will think of you every day and pray that God protects you as He did that day when you entered your next life. I will live my life without you, but I will have you in my heart. You are part of me as I am part of you. what don't kill you only make you stronger. HAPPY 21 BIRTHDAY
MOMA LOVE YOU SON

Today,
I got a new view of your memorial site. Jarrelle you are my youngest nephew and the glue of that side of the family still. I will never forget or stop carring you in my heart. The other day while talking to your mother and watching animal planet I thought of how only you and I would be the one to appreciate the snakes. They are as we know deadly but pretty. Rell from time to time You cross my mind with a sweet memory. Continue your flight and gather your wings for the ancestors and God truely love you best.

I can't believe it's been two years and three months. I really misS you Rell. Just think this would had been your second year in college. You've going to Reynolds then going to Heartfield. You miss out on going to the club on your eighteenth b- day. Also having your son and nameing it The Rell Calhoun, and naming your daughter Momma Mia Mia X Calhoun. But I hope that would have been your kids nickname. Que and Kay is just like you. Que gives name like you, you know those crazy names. Kay is lovable you know how we can't stay mad at you. They both have Imagination like you. They have good memories of you and they always talk about their Uncle Rell Rell. John and I are the same as you can see. Kita. she the same. Moma is too, and Dad. The family is doing better now. But I know you was going to shine down on the family and give us better days.
