Her light still shines / Rashida Humphrey-Wall (Partner in Crime) Hey Muff this truly a special day, you made the sun shine in Cleveland. That is amazing since it has been gray for the last 2 weeks. I hope you are enjoying your day, I can feel your presence and that gives me some comfort. I miss you and love you so much and I know you are in a better place but I just can't get myself together. I'm not so sure the pain will lessen with time. But at least for today I can see your smile, it is beautiful and I hope everyone that loves you can see it too. I won't write a book, I luv you and the family. Since I'm not in DC to hug them I'm sending my love and prayers. Shida
THINKING ABOUT YOU / WALT WATSON (FIANCE) HELLO KENDRA, First i would like to say THANK YOU .Thank you for ZAELYN.Thank you for sharing part of your life with me.Thank you for caring for me. Thank you for hanging in there with me when we first met and you told me that i didnt have a big supporting cast. Everybody was like, "who's that boy?" You see you had your mind made up regardless of who said what. Kendra I know i'm blessed. GOD chose me to go to that bowling alley back in 1999 to meet you. He chose me to cry when you first went to temple. He chose me to laugh, cry, and argue with you. He also chose me to cook all those meals for you. ME KENDRA ME. For that I am grateful. Just to know that I was able to share part of my life with one of God's angels I'm blessed. You see there's no secret that you're one of God's angels. Look at all the people you've touched, look at what you accomplished in 23 years on this earth, you're special. I'm blessed to be able to see your spirit through ZAELYN, your laugh, your smile, your appetite, and your comicview. IT'S so hard to believe that I can't hug you right now.Your spirit is around us, I cry almost everyday. When Zaelyn sees me crying, she takes her thumb out of her mouth, and wipe my tears, she says (dayee) that's her way of saying daddy, I know that's you. THANK YOU. REST IN PEACE OUR ANGEL. I can talk all night but you here this all the time. I just wanted to pay tribute to you. To the family I love you. DEBORAH,COURTNEY, DERRICK,GRANDMA G.G AND ALLTHE FAMILY.
Let's love each other for muffy because this is what she would have wanted.
WALT & ZAELYN
Kendra is still with you! / Cori Miller (Temple Student) Hello, My name is Cori Miller. I was a student at Temple University during the time that Kendra was there. I was searching though my email and someone sent me to Kendra's site. I never knew Kendra but her story has touched me so much because our lives share so many parallels...its so wonder why we nerver met. I, too, was an innocent victim of a senseless act of violence. I was shot 4 times by my ex-boyfriend on Temple University's campus in 2003. I just want to let the family and friends of Kendra know that Kendra may not physically be in your site, but she is there with you. Whenever you get the slightest memory of her smile and a happy moment that you shared with her, that is your reminder from her that she is still with you and looking out for you! In life, it is so hard for us to understand why bad things happen to such great people but we must have faith in God that He brought Kendra to you momentarily to bless your lives and Kendra is doing just fine. We are all here physically only for the time being and we will be spiritually reunited when we go on. I have come to realize that the spirit is far stronger than the body and is everlasting, for the body cannot exist without the spirit. Kendra still lives! You have to have faith in that. God Bless you all and Kendra. Sincerely, Cori Miller, Temple University Alum
You are always with me... / Kim Edwards-Walker ((close friend -12years long)) You are always with me Kendra. No matter what, no matter how long. Today while at Chuck E. Cheese in Largo, a female walked up to me and said, "Hey, aren't you Kendra and your best friend is Kim?". My jaws dropped and heart shattered all over again. I had no clue of this person, but she went to Roper with us and said that she always remembered us together. It's amazing that I can't remember her but could remember and relate us two always being together. I think of you all the time, but every time I go to that Chuck E. Cheese someone either has on a shirt with your picture or someone relates us two as being tight from the 90's. I just smile and remember that your legacy will NEVER fade!!!
Happy Valentines Day Everyone! / Jennifer Schumpert (best-friend)
As many of us think of love and miss Kendra during Valentine's Day, lets remember that although she isn't here to share her love that we can always remember her love from the memories in our hearts and minds.
Most importantly, lets' remember that we are loved period. When life gets in the way, and we dont feel loved by that boyfriend, or girlfriend, family member, or friend that God loves us. I mean he loves us so much that he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him, shall not perish but reap everlasting life. (John 3:16).
How many of you would actually give your children up for someone else's wrongs? I know I wouldn't. But God loved us just that much. I smile just thinking about it. :-)
But as we go on throughout today and other days, to proclaim our love to whomever, lets' remember the definition of true love: 4Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.8Love never fails. 1 Corinthians 13 4-8
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I lost my only son Brandon in an atv accident in 06. He was only 9. But thats what has brought me to memory of sites

On My Mommy Birthday...It Wasnt The Same Withoout You. So We Took A Picture For You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been awhile Muff but you have always been in my mind.
I recently had an uncle taken away from me due to an act of violence. That morning call and my mom bursting into my room sobbing so hard shook me to the core and stilled my heart. It was truly unexpected and well, just out of the blue.
So, my mom and I hopped on a plane and went back home to St.Lucia to bury my uncle. Our hearts heavy full of grief, sorrow, anger, questions. Then, I remembered you. How suddenly and unexpected you were taken away. How you too left a child behind, friends and family who were puzzled and full of emotion and so many questions.
Why would someone be so selfish, so inhumane and take away someone else's life. Take a loved one from their families. My uncle's killer lives directly across the street from our home in St.Lucia. Still wandering free due to lack of evidence. I often found myself sometimes standing in the yard just staring at him blankly, wondering if his soul is also disturbed. If he is filled with pain like me. If he is truly sorry, remorseful, full of regret for his actions. I think of my uncle who died alone, no-one to hold his hand, no family to bid goodbye, nolast words of affection, no peace, no closure. I wonder if he is in heaven. If he thinks of me. If he really knows how much I love him.
I know if you were here you would have so many comforting words. But your calling was far greater than being here in the flesh, no matter how unfortunate the circumstances were. In many ways, you remind me of my uncle. A "Special" soul. Not really ever meant to be grounded here on earth. Like there was always something bigger, something stronger that you both were meant to do.
Like my uncle, I miss you too Muff. And as we approach the day you were taken from all who knew and loved you, I find my thoughts constantly filled with you. You were undeniably UNIQUE and it was a blessing to be your friend, to still be your friend.
Love,
Colette

Tammy Blackmon mom to Jarrett Blackmon 3/24/06 7/26/06
Forever in our hearts / Renee Benton Mother Of Angel Nicole Crenshaw To the Mother of Kendra I feel your pain, your daughter is a very beautiful young lady and shame on the people or the persons who took her from you way too soon. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family, I too lost my daughter not to anything as violent but nevertheless lost my baby girl in March 2006 she was 12 years old I lost her to a brain tumor which wasn't discovered until after her death so I do know the pain and understand about trying to learn to live without them. Through God and faith is how I do it and I do know that sometimes God takes people out of your life to bring new ones in my eldest child called me last week to announce that we have a baby on the way and how ironic the babies due on March 26, 2008 the 2 year anniversary of Nicoles death:) God be with you always.
In My Heart and Prayers Always Renee Benton, Flat Rock, Michigan
