Davontae Keyon Bryant was a loving son, wonderful brother and a devoted friend who will be truly missed. The time with you was all too brief. So many days have passed but we still grieve and missing you is still very strong. Although the days have come and gone, your memory is deep within our hearts until the day we are no longer apart. They say there is a reason they say that time will heal, but neither time nor reason will change the way we feel. For no one knows the heartache that lies behind our smiles. No one knows how many times we have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something so there won't be any doubt. You're so wonderful to think of but so hard to be without. We cannot bring the old days back when we were all together. The family chain is broken now, but memories live forever.

A message from mother : When you were born, on that special day. I held you close to me and joy overflowed from deep in my heart with a power know I had conceived. And I knew from that very moment that you were a gift of love sent to bless my life in so many ways truly sent from God above. Watching you grow was a privilege daily marveling at the changes in you. Finding it hard to contain my excitement and dreaming of all the future things we'd do. Both wanting time to slow down and speed up, but sometimes wishing a baby you could stay. Other times, wishing the years could move faster perhaps in my own selfish way. For I had planned so many things to show you; Things planned for us to do and see. Wanting to give you every experience with that a magical childhood would need. And I loved all the things we did together to have your sweet shadow following me. I swelled with pride when you called me Mommy"  being your mother meant so much to me. Words couldn't express my joy at your birth and will never express the loss in my heart knowing you've left and returned to Heaven that it was deemed your time to part. And though I'm not sure how I'll get through this grief, I promise this much my dearest son to you that I'll remember you each day with gladness. For that is what you'd want me to do and though such deep sorrow cannot be wished away. It isn't the memory you would want to leave. No, you would want me to remember you with gladness…
