Had I know the last time I saw you would be the very last time, I would have held on to you tighter at that restaurant. We all talked for hours. You spoke about how excited you were for your future as a lawyer and how you had plans to marry Justin and have babies. I was excited for you. You and I weren’t the closest, but I had an enormous amount of love for you. I respected you (because you demanded it with everyone lol) and I always appreciated your presence. You gave me advice and told me that I too could do anything I put my mind to. I will miss you Cedes. I think of you and Justin every day. I will always make sure my brother is okay. I will do that bc I love you both and I know you would want us all to rally around him and support him. I’ll do that for you Cedes. Anyway, I miss you. I love you and I need you to know that you will never EVER be forgotten. You made a positive impact on my life and everyone that came across your path. We will all cherish our memories with you.

I was terrified to meet you. I'm not close to my family members and I was a freshman on campus, how could I go in there like I belonged? What could I even ask for? I remember seeing the posh senior building you stayed in and felt jealous. How could I be like you? I got lost trying to find your apartment but you didn't mind my tardiness. Your friends were beautiful, you were beautiful. I was entranced, maybe in 4 years I could be like you too? You were so charming and nice to a stranger like me, that I was able to just tell you everything, my worries, my fears, my goals. I couldn't stop talking and you just listened. I wish I had savored that moment a little more. Shined with you instead of just watching. You were an inspiration now just as you were then. I must've said so to you interjectedly 100 times. I wish I could say it 100 more. Rest in peace, angel.

My Wish For You I wish I could have given you many more years. I wish I could erase away all of your tears. I want to take away all of your pain. I want to give you sunshine in the rain. May each new day be a perfect gift. May love surround you, may your spirits lift. If someone had to describe you so many words come to mind. Beauty and grace, a heart so kind. You radiate warmth like a blazing fire. You are courage and wisdom. You truly inspire. You attract like a magnet beautiful things. You sparkle and shine like a diamond ring. You light up a room when you walk in. If someone feels sad you can make them grin. You are elegant and charming. You know right from wrong. You are the melody from a beautiful love song. You are a breath of fresh air on a hot summer's night. When there is darkness you turn on the light. I do not want these words to make you cry. I do not want to ever say goodbye. I believe miracles really do come true. No one deserves one more than you. Please know how many lives you touch. These words are my present. You are loved so much. From Beverly Johnson-Parham I am so sorry for your lost. VCU ENDOSCOPY

Its is currently 9/4/2018.... i didnt get to sign the book at the wake or funeral... I'm still in the phase of shock and disbelief. Mercedes, aka Cedes aka Pretty Girl was like a little cousing to me. Her, my sister and their friends are all the same age and I grew up with them as family members. From basketball games to bbqs, outings, and just any excuse for everyone to be together about every other weekend, the bonds just grew. As everyone grew up, made moves and lived their lives the communication and hangouts became more distant to none. I checked in on her, proud of her accomplishments and path. Excited for her on her every move. Family isnt always blood... just to know someone since before they really know themselves can create a relationship just as strong. To my cousin, may she rest in heavenly peace, I love you! to my extended family and Aunt Stephanie, I love you!

My fondest memory of Mercedes was from high school. During class, she and her close friend, Hannah, would jokingly show looks of confusion or anguish about the sometimes difficult material we were learning. They were a comical pair, but still serious about their studies. Mercedes had a beautiful and joyful spirit that will not be forgotten. I am truly saddened by her passing and I pray that the Lord's grace and healing hands will console her family and friends during this difficult time.

Mercedes and my daughter were floormates their freshman year at Syracuse University. I'll never forget Mercedes; when Hannah became seriously ill at the end of that freshman year and was hospitalized for a number of weeks Mercedes was a bright spot in the long days. She visited Hannah almost daily cheering us up and laughingly referring to me as "Mama Smith". We share your sorrow and mourn your loss. Alison
