Our son Kodi Kadeem Beckles attend­ed Suny Plattsburgh before he was tak­en from us .
Our lives will nev­er ever be the same .
Every day I grieve and cry for you my son .

Our family... Nothing make our days easier since you left ... For me I simply try to survive each day I wake up . I never wanted to live in a world without you.
Our fam­i­ly…
Nothing make our days eas­i­er since you left …
For me I sim­ply try to sur­vive each day I wake up .
I nev­er want­ed to live in a world with­out you.

I grieve each day while I hold onto his word , it's all I have, that one day we will be reunited , now I simply live for that day. For no deeper love have any parent felt for his child. No deeper pain has a parent felt for his child. For no greater burden has life been since you left.
