Nearly 2 years have passed and you're still in everyone's thoughts and hearts. We have never forgotten you Mac, and we never will. Your passing changed a lot of people. When someone says your name, the first thing that comes to mind is your heartfelt smile. You were a great person Mac, and attending your funeral was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. Seeing you without that beautiful smile on your face was damaging in more ways than one. It showed me that life is precious and that tomorrow is never promised. -- But you taught me a lot Mac, and you also changed me in so many ways. You showed me that life is short, and although life is filled with ups & downs, the way people perceive you will never change. The good you give onto others remains with them forever. My dream is too feel all that love I felt during your funeral at somepoint in my life. I know you're in a better place, but just know that you live on everyday through each & every person that you touched. Rest Easy<3>

i remember freshman year..in mrs. webb class when you first came to speak to me. we had just took a test that i failed and you yelled across the class and asked me what i got. i told you to come get it because i was not going to yell that poor pathetic grade out...and thats what you did. you sat right next to me and said "word?!?! i failed too!" it didnt make me feel any better about my grade but it made me giggle. and every class after that we also spoke. it was very cordial until i seen that we shared the same study hall and i sat next to you, offerd you some gum and we started our first of many, many convos. at first, you scared me cuz you were so brutally honest. but after a while i realized that was one of the many qualities i envied about you. you always had kind (on some occasions not so kind) words to offer people. i remember being in the hallway..tears running down my face because of some family issues and you looked at me and made this face that changed everything. i miss you honey and i wish that you were here to grace and bless us all with your presence. i think of you everyday. i wish your family the best also. you were a blessing to know and i dont ever, ever regret meeting you. look over me and your family.
-your summer:)

I Remember It Like it Was Yesterday The First Day I Met You In Six Grade, You Came Up To Me In Class & Introduced Yoursel And from Then On We Became Good Friends . . It Seemed Like You Was The Only One There For Me When My Brother Died, You Was The Only Person I Could Really Talk To When Stuff Went Wrong. So When I found Out What Happened I Was Dumbfounded Cause I Wanted To Know
I Remember It Like it Was Yesterday The First Day I Met You In Six Grade, You Came Up To Me In Class & Introduced Yoursel And from Then On We Became Good Friends . . It Seemed Like You Was The Only One There For Me When My Brother Died, You Was The Only Person I Could Really Talk To When Stuff Went Wrong. So When I found Out What Happened I Was Dumbfounded Cause I Wanted To Know Is What made You Do That , Like Why Would You Just up And Leave. Maybe It Was Away That We could Of Just Talk Like The Old Days ( Tears ! ) Mac Theres Not A Day That Goes By & YOur Not On My MInd , Everytime I Hear I Miss You By Aaliyah Or Ill Be Missing You By Diddy I Think Of You & Start To Cry ( Tears ! ) RIP ROGER MACK LEE ELLERBE <3>

Mack, i think about you alot. And this seems to be around that time when everything went down, and i keep getting memories. You wouldnt even understand how much It breaks me down daily to know that your not around. And i bet we would of had classes together this year. I remeber on my first day of school here, you was walking me to class, and it made me feel better. i just we can rewind time, and i

I remeber on my first day of school here, you was walking me to class, and it made me feel better. i just we can rewind time, and i just wish you could of gotten the help you needed, because i miss you soo much. And im sorry I didnt go to your funeral, or to your gravesite, it gives me butterflies to even think of that fact that you have one, sometimes I feel like this is all A dream, seriouslly. . like maybe your come back or something, maybe your just on vacation. But later on this week, I guess i will stop by your gravesite and finally let reality hit me, since i been running away from it for so long. . . <3>
