I only met Konji once, and it was only for a few hours, but I really enjoyed his company. It was Easter evening 2009. Konji, Darnish, Ann and Kyle came over for dinner. Konji had such a great personality- I felt comfortable with him immediately. I loved that he could name all the 80's music he had playing in the background. The only disappointment that night was that my husband Jules was out of town and could not meet him. I know they would have liked each other and it pains me that now they won't have that chance. Konji, you will definitely be remembered by so many.

Honey, it's me, your lovely. You left me way too soon! I'm still in complete shock that you've passed on to heaven. The pain of you not being here is just unbearable. I literally don't know what to do, so I don't do anything other than cry and sleep, sleep and cry. If you were here, you'd hold me tight, rub my back and tell me that everything's going to be okay...but you're not here. That's the part I can't fathom.

I remember when we started dating seriously and I asked you to be gentle with my heart...and you promised you would, and you did. 4.5 years as your wife just wasn't enough; it almost seems cruel! So, please tell me how, just how am am I supposed to live our dreams and plans without you? We had decided that we were in this together till we were old and gray; afterall, we were ONE! Frankly, I don't even know if I want to live without you.

Inspite of everything, we were perfect together. I LOVED being your wife and having you as my earthly king. I will forever be proud to be your wife. I love you forever, I miss you forever and you will be the man of my dreams forever!

Your Teary-Eyed Lovely,
Nisha

I remember the first time I met Konji. It was at a party celebrating our (Darnisha and I) 20th high school reunion. You know when you meet someone and it's like you've been friends forever? That's what it was like meeting Konji. He just fit it immediately with the rest of us girls that entire weekend. He was comfortable and conversating, even when Darnisha was off talking with others. I never saw him glance around for Darnisha, as if he was thinking, "Help me!" He could hold his own. He was such a warm person that by the end of the weekend, not only was I sad to see Darnisha leave, but now I was sad for Konji to go with her! So many classmates commented about how much they loved Konji! I don't remember connecting with any other spouses of classmates that way. It was like he had been at BRHS with us back in 1988, he fit in so well.

It was through MySpace and Facebook that I kept up with Konji and Darnisha and loved to hear of their special dinners or nights out with each other. Their love was apparent. Their relationship was one of mutual respect. They fit so well. So many spend an entire life time looking for what they have - many never find and settle for what's there. I'm glad they waited and although their time together was brief, it was such a special gift. God gave us Konji for just a brief time, but Konji made good use of that time - what a warm, gentle soul he was. You were natually drawn to him. I know he still looks after Darnisha from Heaven, because that's the kind of man he was.

Konji, I so wish we could have spent more time together, because your personality was infectious and you brought something to every room! You are so very special and I will remember you always!

Konji,
I am so sad that we lost touch after high school, but I am truly blessed that we were friends. I sit back and remember all those basketball games and bus rides!! I remember you always having my best interest at heart. You were a wonderful friend a great ball player and one of the nicest people I know. You are truly going to be missed. I know you are in heaven sitting at the Master's feet smiling that beautiful smile of yours. We will see you again. Love you.

Konji, We may have known each other for a short time but you left a lasting impression. I will always remember your positive vibes and infectious smile. But what I think I will remember most about you is the love you had for Nisha. Thank you so much for showing the rest of us how to live and love!
