This memorial website is created in loving memory of my son, Laquan Ali Majette, who died suddenly and tragically at the age of 24, on January 15, 2005; five days before his 25th birthday. 
                                                                                                                
My son died a victim of multiple gunshot wounds to the torso. Unfortunately, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. God decided it best to take him Home. His favorite Books of the Bible were Psalm 139:23 and Romans 8:28. He can now rest in eternal heavenly peace.

                    

                    

                                              
                 He now lives in eternity 
              His soul has been set free!

         
                    
   
              NOT LOST TO MEMORY!  NOT LOST TO LOVE!
             BUT GONE TO OUR FATHER'S HOUSE ABOVE
                

                      I'M FREE        

                          Don't grieve for me, for now
                          I'm  Free
                          I'm following the path God laid for me
                          I took his hand when I heard Him call
                          I turned my back and left it all
                          I could not stay another day
                          to laugh, to love, to work or play
                          Tasks left undone must stay that way
                          I found that place at the close of day
                          Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
                          Don't lengthen it now with undue grief
                          Lift up your heart and share with me
                          God wanted me now.
                                 He Set Me Free 
                         ~ Laquan ~
                                   (Prayer Card)             

                                


              
              HOLD US UP, LORD

Lord, we know You're always busy, for You've many things to do, but when sorrow overcomes us, well, we need to talk to You.

For we've lost someone precious, and they're with You there above, and it's someone that we needed, and it's someone that we love.

We are feeling lost and all alone, and though we do believe, we need You, Lord, to hold us up, to help us while we grieve.

Please give us strength and courage, Lord, to bear what we must bear and nudge us when our faith is weak to remind us  You are there.

Give us hope for our tomorrows, tell us life will still go on, show us, Lord, that all this darkness will be followed by the dawn.
 
You have led us through so many things, You've pulled us through before, hold us up, Lord, till we're through this and we are strong once more.

             WITH CLOSED EYES 

                            With eyes closed for the final time, 
                                           Tomorrow will not be, 
                                    I'm free of pain and suffering, 
                                          So do not weep for me. 
                                   No tears, no sadness do I feel,
                                           My spirit's so happy, 
                                Go on and live each day ahead,
                                    And know I've been set free.
                                     The beauty here is ecstacy, 
                                 No need to grieve or carry on, 
                             I'm still alive though you can't see,
                                     I'm Home where I belong.
                              A heart of gold stopped beating, 
                                     two shining eyes at rest, 
                               God broke our hearts to prove,
                                       He only takes the best.
                              God knows you had to leave us,
                                    But you did not go alone,
                             For a part of us went with you,
                                The day He took you Home.
                                To some you are forgotten, 
                           To others just a part of the past, 
                   But to those of us who loved and lost you,
                               The memory will always last.

                    WE'RE ALIKE 


                           We're alike, you and I 

                                   We're alike, you and I
                                         We've never met 
                 Our faces would be those of strangers 
                                              if we met 

            We would barely perceive the other's presence 
                 If we passed on our walk through the mists 
                                   We're unknown to each other 
                   Until the terrible words have been spoken 
                                              "MY CHILD DIED" 

                                        We're alike, you and I 
                We measure time in seconds and eternities 
                           We try to go forward to yesterday 
                       Tomorrows are for the whole people, 
                                 And we are incomplete now 
                           The tears after a time turn inward 
              To become invisible to all save you and me 
   Our souls are rumpled from wrestling with demons. 
                  And doubts and unanswerable prayers. 
                               "GIVE ME BACK MY CHILD" 

                                       We're alike, you and I
       The tears that run down your face are my tears 
            And the wound in your soul is my pain too. 
                     We need time, but time is our enemy 
                     For it carries us farther and farther 
                                          From our lost child 
                                        And we cry out; 
                                             "HELP ME" 

                                     We're alike, you and I
                                  And we need each other 
             Don't turn away, but give me your hand 
          And for a time we can cease to be strangers 
                         And become what we truly are, 
                             A family closer than blood. 

        United by a bond that was forced upon us--- 
             But a bond that can make us stronger, 
                      Still wounded and not to sure, 
         But stronger for our sorrows are shared. 
                    "WE NEED NOT WALK ALONE"

                   WHEN I AM GONE

I would rather have a little rose from the garden of a friend, than have the choicest flowers when my stay on earth shall end.

I would rather have the kindest words and a smile that I can see, than flattery when my heart is still and this life ceased to be.

I would rather have a loving smile from the friends I know are true, than tears shed around my casket when the world I bid adieu.

 A child that loses a parent is an orphan, 
          A man who loses his wife is a widower, 
         A woman who loses her husband is a widow, 
        There is no name for a parent that loses a child, 
        For there is no word to describe the pain.

If tears could build a highway and memories a trail to you, I wouldn't try to bring you back, I'd ask if I could stay too.

You probably look down and say Ma, it's all good, it's all right; God is GOOD, lu you Ma; See you when you get here!!!

     Our loved ones are together in Heaven warmly embracing each other, as they joyfully look down upon us realizing how much we love and cherish them. They are saying it's alright now, we're happy and at peace... They are all gently whispering to us below... to those I love, and to those who love me, thank you for your eternal love; see you when you get here."

Thank you Heavenly Father! 

              
 

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin;
but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
                        (Romans 8:10)

...I am the resurrection, and the life:
he that believeth in me, though he were dead,
yet shall he live:

And whosoever liveth and believeth in me
shall never die. Believest thou this?
                       (John 11:25-26) 

          
      
To All My Memorial Friends...

Should our chain of comfort cease, please know that I am
truly grateful for every precious candle, heartfelt tribute,
and touching graphic from you in memory of my beloved son,
Laquan. 

It is through the grace of God, our precious angels, your
comforting words and understanding that I have come thus far.
Trust and believe that you and your beloved angel are near and
dear to my heart. I truly believe although sight unseen our
angels are watching over us.

Take care and I wish you well.

Oh, give thanks to the God of Heaven! For His mercy endures
forever. (Ps 136:26)

 
              
PEOPLE COME INTO YOUR LIFE FOR A REASON

People come into your life for a reason,
a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is
you will know what to do for that person.

When someone is in your life for a reason,
it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty,
to provide you with guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.

They may seem like a godsend and they are.
They are there for a reason you need them to be.
Then without any wrong doing on your part
or at an inconvenient time, this person will say 
or do something to bring your relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die, sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.

What we must realize is that our need has been met,
our desire fulfilled , their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered
and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a season,
because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it , it is real. But only for a season.

Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime lessons,
things you must build upon  in order to have a solid
emotional foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person
and put what you have learned  to use in all other
relationships and areas of your life.

It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were
a reason, a season or a lifetime.

~ Iyanla Vanzant ~ 

            

                

 Always remember, never forget there are always angels among us; some seen, some unseen. 

We sincerely appreciate your lighting a candle and, or paying tribute in memory of Laquan.  It may bring tears to our eyes, make our heart flutter, or bring back old memories, but unless you have walked in our shoes, you have no idea how much your doing this brings comfort to our hearts in knowing that someone cared enough to keep his memory alive. We thank you for doing so from the bottom of our heart.
