To the Talyor Family,
Know that God almighty is with you every step of the way though this sad time and down the road from now. Always remember that you have the members you shared with each other. Take this time to seek God even the more because this world has become evil.

you know it is said that money is the root of all evil. Take heed in the tenth commandment. Thy shall not covet. Be greatful for what God has gave you and don't look at what someone else has. Also I would like to say that I have been on several sites in Black voices, and I could swear I was in a KKK chat room. There is so much hate for oneself. White's have killed (their own kind and so forth) and no one ever mention that you should steer clear of White folks. Peterson a policeman just like many others have killed their wives, children, parents, dogs, and so forth, but soon as you here something negative about a black person it becomes the whole race. If you can't love yourself and can't find anything positive to say about yourself, Why get in a tissy over some other race saying the same thing you just expressed.

I am referencing comments made in two categories: "that God took Sean away, etc."...God did not take Sean away, the ways of the devilish spirits of boys in this case, my Bible tells me that "God came to give us life and give it more abundantly" not take away life in violence; whether Sean was saved, we only know what he "confesses" to be, the rest is between him and God, we just took him at his word, according to his friends, family and pastor... and, James made the comment that black people are ignorant, uneducated, etc....the only ignorance and lack of education I read is yours, you in no way can "generalize" on a race of people, we have people who are Rhodes Scholars, Harvard and Yale educated, you might mean that they are publicized more for violent crimes in a minority population of society in all ethnic groups...Check out the law enforcement statistics and you will see that more white boys at the ages of 18-...create more violence but is not publicized as widely...please apologize to groups for these terrible remarks and I hope that you don't have any family members in history or in the future who may end up a statistic, either dead or incarcerated. This is all said in love and clarification..

I wish a sentence for each to equate to time served as 21 years for each of the 24 years of Sean's life on this earth that was so violently taken.
