EPI I can't believe you're gone!!! We met when we were only teens and now that we're grown you're no longer here!! I can't stop thinking about the good times we had in school and out. You were a great friend and I bet a great father too... I remember the last time I saw you alive you were exstatic to be a father and especially having a little boy!!! Then my grandmother was telling me about my aunts nephew being killed. Then I hear that you were killed the same way as my aunts nephew..... I put two and two together and realized that you were my aunts nephew, you were my cousin all along and yet we were never introduced that way!!! I still can't stop thinking about you ever since I saw you laying in that casket!!! People take life for granted, and yet we don't realize what just might happen in the long run. May GOD bless your child and your family, and may he be with your family through these hard times. I'll will never forget you, Mister Football of Kelvyn Park!!!! You will always be in my heart. MUAHZ!

I can't believe you're really gone, Epi. The memories of the good ol' days come back to mind. When we were all younger and all the kids from the block used to come out and play together, we had some good times, but you're in a better place now and God will watch over your little boy and your family.

To the Santos Family: May all the precious memories help soothe the pain. Our deepest sympathies are with you all. We will keep you in our prayers.

Much love,

Epi,
I quiver. I shiver.
They tell me the news.
I wonder why He chose you.
I walk the streets remembering you
No matter what they say,
it’s still the same.
Only you could fill the empty voids
I know you’re okay and feel no pain,
But with each passing day
I say a prayer asking God to take care of you.
We miss you and love you.
In our hearts is where you’ll stay,
Until we meet again in Heaven someday god bless your baby and your family you will always be in our heart.
