luv u and miss you black the girl that did this is still on the loose just walking around. makes you think how can that be? what are the police really doing?
hay big bro. this yo lil sis val pal. this has really been a heart stoper for me. i will never stop thinking about you and fo sho' never stop loving you. but you will live on in your baby girl kela and your king pa-pa believe that!! just rememeber to keep my spot up there right next to you cause i will see you again. LOVE YA, LOVE YA, LOVE YA rest your soul your mission is complete!
BLACK'S "MAKESHIFT MEMORIAL" IS LOCATED ON PRINCE STREET IN BERKELEY. WE VISITED THE SITE THAT IS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE ABOVE AND HIS "MAKESHIFT MEMORIAL" AS THIS PAGE REFERS TO IT WAS REMOVED BY PEOPLE THAT DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HIS FAMILY WAS GOING THROUGH. ALTHOUGH IT IS SUPPOSE TO BE COOL TO HAVE THINGS LIKE THAT LOCATED WHERE THE PERSON WAS KILLED FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, THAT COMMUNITY TOOK IT UPON THERE SELFS TO REMOVE IT RIGHT AFTER WE LEFT. HIS REMEMBERANCE IS NOW LOCATED ON PRINCE STREET IN BEREKELY. SINCE THAT IS WHERE HE SPENT ALL HIS LIFE, AND WHERE IS FAMILY IS. THAT WAY HE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED. AND EVEN THOUGH IT DOESN'T TAKE JUST THAT FOR BLACK TO BE REMEMBERED, HIS LOVED ONES CREATED IT SO THAT EVERYONE HAS A CHANCE TO GIVE THEIR RESPECT TO A GREAT MAN.
It is a shame that your murder is just a number to some people. For all of us, that number represents a loved one taken away from us by the hands of a person that does not deserve to still be free. I still can't believe that this has happened. I think about the time we shared together all the time. You have been in my life since i was born and the effect that this has had on my life is very tramatic. I had to erase your number out of my phone because i found myself wanting to call you. People say don't stress, you are in a better place, no more pain, no more hurt. But what about the pain and the hurt that i am experiencing? I know it might seem selfish of me, but I want my uncle back. I want the chance to tell you i love you. I want my boys to be able to kick it with their uncle Black. I hate the bitch that did this to you and i hope she rots in HELL for what she did to you. They say it was your time and that GOD called you to be with him. No one has yet to explain to me why. I know i may sound angry and harse, but I am. I am tired of everyone telling me these things. When does it get better? When does the pain stop? I have been reduced to expressing my feelings for you in writing because i took for granted the time you had on this earth and did not express them enough to you. I am sorry that i was not able to say these things to you. I know that in some form you are able to see and feel the emotions that i am going through. And I know that I will be with you one day and we will forever be together for eternity. I guess what i am really trying To say is that i miss you and i was not ready for you to go. I love you Shelton Dominick. You will forever be in my heart and in my thoughts.
