On August 5th, 1996, the door opened

up and then it closed.

I thought it was over then, but it reopened.

My mother said, "Tiffany you have to see her."

As I slowly walked through the door, I

thought I would die.

I could hear your mother screaming, "My

baby!"

I walked out very fast.

The time came when Timmy, Shane and

I went into the room where your brother

and your cousins were standing.

Then they moved. I saw you in

between them and I started to cry.

I cried because my homegirl, just like

my big sister, was gone.

They took me out to the car and all I

could do is say "She is never coming

back."

Then I thought about Shaqwan/

Devlend ha ha! talking on the phone

after 11:00 knowing that if your mother,

as you would say mover, would say

"Meeka, do you know what time it is?"

So when she came you would whisper, I

gotto go, call you back later.

I did not know that July 31, 1996 would

be the last time you said that to me.
