M. Johnson,

You have issues. Your mistake, the family is not from Kingston. People close to them know that. I don’t now you or your family and really don’t care to know.

I’m sure Joy had a reason for disliking you and Anthony Sr., well, I don’t care for him either. He really loves his son, hasn’t visited him yet. Joy had a reason to try an instill discipline in her son and daughters. Your don’t know the real truth about Joy, Anthony and her relationships. This is not about relationships, this is about kids going bad. Until this World figures out how to correct that, we will continue to have situations like this and people like you. Your comments are yours, I know Joy well, the good and the bad and as for voodoo, we don’t play that. May God heal you.

Ms. Johnson,and I do use the term Ms. loosely, please get a life and please end you 20 years of harassing my family. If you believe that the Terrell family is so bad; why do you continue to call? Why not just leave us alone? You are a disgrace. You have no idea what it is like to be a real woman. Maybe one day you will understand that you are the one who has and always will continue to drive a wedge between your son and his alleged father. Also, before you call someone a breeder, think about the number of children you have and the number of babydaddys you have. If these numbers are equal or anywhere in the ballpark of being equal, then you should consider yourself a breeder as well. As far a Joy practicing Voodoo, you and I both know that this is false. And for the Jamaica bit, there you go spreading lies. We all know that this untrue. Read up on your history and the people of South Carolina, then you may understand Joy’s accent as well as those belonging to her family members. Joy was not perfect, none us are, especially not you, but have some class show some respect. She was good mother and a good person. And the next time, you tell lies on my family expect legal repercussion. Also, look up the word slander and remember it is legal. Get a life. There is a new generation of Terrells.

My name is Elenor Tisley and my daughter brought this to my attention. In response to Melissa, my firm hired her seven years ago as a paralegal and currently she is an executive paralegal.I witnessed profane and disturbing phone calls from Ms. Deleston to Melissa, who dismissed this behavior as the norm for Ms. Deleston. Consequently,I contacted the midtown authorities to cease the calls. I will bring this to Melissa’s attention. I find the behavior of Andre’s family appalling and inexcusable. I find Melissa evidently in love with her husband and three other children and too submerged to be concerned with the relatives who abandoned a young man I respect and admire, as well. All of these children are innocent and let all of us keep this in mind. Apparently, there is something very wrong in this equation. I am only stating what I witnessed and will corroborate what I witnessed in any court. Moreover, Andre is a young gentleman we all adore. Thank you.

disapproval and it was only based upon race because Anthony and I talked about it and he could not handle. I did what I could for my son and he is a wonderful man now and certainly, by all accounts, Anthony missed out on. When he did call, he whimpered that his wife asked him to and he stood Andre up. All he talked about was a Lexxus and the Terrel dynasty. All Andre wanted was to know him and Anthony Jr. Now we discovered that Ms. Graham has two there sons fathered by Anthony and I implore any biological sibling of Andre’s to have a loving relationship with Andre. Whether or not you all like it, they all have the same dna and they have that right. I have been in love with my soul mate, my husband since we met and I do not entertain the thought of any romantic feelings for Anthony. Anthony is married and so am I. I have a lot of gratitude towards the woman who married him because she thought of my son when you all did not. I am taking him to visit Eugene and Josephine Flower because they are the nicest people and always have been receptive of Andre. I owe no apology to a woman who tried to hurt my child and me relentlessly and mercilessly. Your opinion I respect because you feel that way and can; likewise. Pardon, but Anthony and his mother bragged that Andre would end up in prison and they denied Andre? Certainly is ironic how things have turned out. What goes around comes around and the third law of physics: what goes up must come down. defend yours, dear, and respect that I defend mine. My life is jovial and really just begun since this occurred. The Pharaoh’s son was taken and he was brought to his knees. My son is a child of God and what goes around comes around. Let me reiterate: now Anthony’s name is infamous and Andre did grow up to be a thug, as his funky Geraldine and bisexual Anthony foretold, yet not as they expected. He said, “I am a thug, mom, a true hero under God”

Good morning to everyone. Last evening, ny son, Andre, and I talked for a rather long time. We talked and I cried to him and he was there for me. I did not work today . He was so exhausted because he worked til ten last night and we had a long talk and he left a little late. His boss, the owner, is this way, “It’s ok mam.” He worked for this man when he obtained his work permit at 14 and six months later, he worked for two years at Taco Bell, and then this man offered him three dollars more and he has been so good to Andre. He told me that he regrets never having children, that Andre reminds him of himself when he was young, but his mother died. All along, people kind like this man were put in our lives. I believe that. The initial few weeks at Taco Bell, Andre wanted to quit. He came home on break and I said “I didn’t raise you to quit like this. You are not quitting this job.” He recently, well, not last night but a few weeks ago, told me he knows now why I was like that. I wanted him to face his problems and not to retreat. Last night was a time in which, like wise, I had to do also. I want to take this time to apologize for the angry words. Andre is the only person who lived through what we lived through and the one person I trust. I know that when he exemplifies love to even those who have been mean to him, it is because I taught him to be. If I apologize, it is going to be, perhaps, to “Terrell cousin”, a moment of jovial for him. But I do apologize because Andre wants me to be the way I raised him. Oh my gosh, this is such a painful time for me. When I initially found out what happened to Joy, I felt years of the mean manner in which we but in particular, Andre, was treated go back around. Nevertheless, if it did, Andre said, I raised him to not respond to it. The first couple of nights, I grieved because I could not really sleep and it is a sad thing either way. I almost lost Andre a year and half ago in a car accident and the things that occurred with Joy, well she did really try to have me lose Andre. Anthony knows what happened, as well as Geraldine. Whether or not they are all sorry, just like Andre said last night, doesn’t matter because if they aren’t it isn’t going to change anything and he said, “mom, I don’t want to be the way they were to us. I know it hurts, but you have to let this go, mom. Who cares what these people think of us? I know who I am and how do you think I feel? I was beaten with a curtain rod by ms branch and i didn’t think i’d ever see you again but i even have to forgive her. you have to forgive them and you have to let it all go.” Andre is who he is because I raised him to be that way and every time something bad happened that really was just really brutal, I would tell him to pray and to forgive. I am not going to talk about anything further about what happened to us but they all know. There is no point in going through it and reliving it. I know that I would never want anyone to go through any of what we did, but also like Andre exclaimed, he reminded me that I had reminded him that everything we went through- we would not be who we are had we not. I apologize to the Terrell family. It is or what makes me so angry is that all of it was a waste. I wish that the woman Anthony did marry, Stephanie, I believe is her name, I wish to her that it would have worked out. She will never know how profoundly grateful I am that she honestly was kind to Andre. She thought of my son and was the only person who ever did. She, without reservation and without care of what any of them said, tried to intervene to begin a relationship between them. Andre wanted to know Anthony and he remembered little Anthony and he honestly wanted to be in his life. The grief and the trauma Andre and I went through together, it was cruel but the only reason I did not break is Andre and Jesus. Even if I feel that way about people reaping, I would have told Andre’ leave it alone” and he knows that because he told me. When Andre and I came here, we had $150 a box of pictures and a few items and a few clothes. We came on a bus. I always made a promise to Jesus that if I ever met a girl who was sent in my life to repay god for the people god had miraculously sometimes put in my life to help us, that that would be my time to be there for her. Often times, we lived , you know, in a room before we got our first apartment. Some people would take your money and then want more and just bad people, you know. When I met a young girl, she has lived with us almost three years, I knew she was sent in my life to repay this debt to god. That is why all I can accept from her is her to be safe and take care of school and her job. Andre walks her to and from work in between his shifts. She is like my daughter and she is part of who we are now. I can’t imagine life without her. We were blessed to have her come into our lives. If there is any punishment or pay back, it is that you all really wasted knowing who Andre is. Anthony jr and all of his brothers could have had a relationship. I wanted that. Andre told me last night that he never blamed me. He said his father tried to imply it was my fault and he said that he tried to respect him because he tried to do what I taught him. Andre is who he is because I raised him to be. It angers me the way my son was treated and I would never wish that on no one. When I have seen him take on a brotherly role to a kid who he says reminds him of himself, to take his money and buy that child a gift, it makes me acutely appreciative of who Andre has become. Just this morning, I was getting my daughter’s bottle and noticed that we have plenty of food, but I will never complain that Andre has less than half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the fridge. The reason he does this is because Andre wastes no food. Andre wastes nothing and holds onto everything. He took Japanese from the fourth grade until the eighth grade in a program in which he earned one of his high school foreign languages. They had a trip planned for Japan and really reasonably priced but 9/11 happened and that next summer it was canceled. He and Sarry have saved for a trip this forthcoming summer to Japan. Other than that, when he gets paid, he saves. He doesn’t party. He is very frugal. He works six days of the week and he is pretty serious. When he was younger and if he did something I felt he was getting beside himself coming on, I took him once to a shelter to remind him that we should be grateful. He cleaned and so forth, we did, and it was a reminder. Although I am grateful that Anth was able to give little anth a great deal, Andre only wanted to know you and the time in which my son sat down and sobbed, couldn’t even speak, but put his face in his hands and sobbed was when you stood him up. After everything Andre went through, I really would have rather you just have left him alone. For you to somehow blame me was double painful and baffling! I had my soul mate in my life. I was not entertaining romantic thoughts of you. It was like a slap in Andre’s face and that is the breaking point that I grew very bitter. I held him and sat there and all I could do was cry for him and rub his back. I told him finally ” Andre just forgive him and let it go. You know who you are and Jesus holds you and he loves you. Just let it go baby” It is ironic that most of last night Andre held me. He is 6 feet and 165 and he told me what I had told him and I cried til I could not cry anymore. I want to apologize because even if Joy was really mean to us and they all know why I say that, I grieve in my heart for her and I wouldn’t in my heart wish it on anyone, not even my worst enemy and it is not for me to point out if anything came around. If it did Jesus is who I owe to stay out of it and Jesus watched over us and he made Andre really the man he is. I feel 99 and people think I am Andre’s sister. Mark dye says I haven’t changed and I was able to see Herman Mackey briefly and he said “you look the same with your chubby cheeks” but I feel so “old”. I see the maturity in Andre that of a 45 year old man. Andre held me and he told me that it is time to let it go. He said he let it go a long time ago. I didn’t raise him by myself. God was there and I owe a debt to Jesus for eternity. Whether or not any of you feel sorry or not, I apologize. I want The wife of Anthony to know that there are no words to tell her how much I SOOOO appreciate that no matter what anyone thought or may have said, she thought of my son and that will always be engraved in my heart- forever. Every person in this situation knows the truth. For her to think of Andre and she could have just not, it was something that I as Andre’s mother and being that no one had ever thought of HIM- it means so very much in my life for always.

I did not get to finish so I want to just say that I am sorry. I was seventeen when he was born and you, Anth, you asked “what the hell can you give him? Well, I told you, love. Andre said that is all he needed and really that is all he wanted from you. I am never looking back after today and I am not going to watch the news for a long time or read about any of this and I just want to say that I am sorry. I am really in my heart sorry for all of this pure waste; all of it. I care for little Anth in my heart and how could I not? He was part of you and Andre and he was the cutest little boy. I can’t even really absorb all of this right now. I just want to let it all go. So I have said what is in my heart and I am very sorry that you all never knew Andre. He really is a wonderful man today.

Melissa
I was taught that once words leave your mouth they can never be taken back. In reviewing these posts they have taken place over two weeks. I am guessing that you have gotten out all of your anger and frustration and now that the entire world can read your story….Keep in mind that there are three sides to a story your side, the people that you are talking about and THE TRUTH! Joy’s Chapter is closed because of her unfortunate demise…so her story can never be told. I amazes me that all these people did such horrible things to you and you make it seems like you were so innocent and striving for perfection in your life-but yet you very FIRST posting torn down a mother and her children like a true disciple of lucifer.
I think you need to seek consul because you are dealing with some major issues. You need to keep in mind that you still have children that someone/something can take away from you at a moments notice. How would you feel if all your children were taken from you in a split second…..and you were left all alone? Please take notice that I did not say you were taken….I said YOU WERE LEFT BEHIND TO DEAL WITH THAT. Dying is the easy part living is the hard part.

Praying that you get your heart and soul right!

Thanks Carla and I want to to speak for Melissa. I do not intend to tit for tat. Anthony, you are a punk and one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Thank you because I have always told Andre that I am a real man and anytime this exceptional kid wants to take on my last name no hesitation from me. I would not declare Melissa as anything mental. I would say as Andre probably will agree she is emotional. Her family and yours ought to be ashamed of yourselves and since she wouldn’t curse her mother I took the phone four years ago and someone needed to say it. I have witnessed to pain she has gone through and it was a long time it took me too understand why she pushed me the hell away. You are a punk and your family are despicable to even call yourselves so called christians. You pushed a 17 year old girl with your six month old baby off your mother’s steps and into the streets and told her to walk at night. You have no self respect. Melissa and Andre are good hearted and should have never been treated that way. I regret she said all she did openly but I support her and Andre. Since she did, I speak up for her anyday. I am 44 years old and I would never have treated a child the way you all did and then you call yourself a man. Let someone try to take one of your nieces because the father wanted to duck child support and let that child be abused in fostercare and let the father stand up in his face and tell him he isn’t the father and he has another son. Let’s see how well you would fair in that case. No, man. You aint no damn man. Melissa aint the one who’s son killed her and that speaks for who the psycho is. Andre is a man and I consider him my son.

I attended the funeral and it was very sombersome seeing three white caskets and three white funeral cars. My heart pounded heavily as I began to view the bodies. I continue to pray for the family members including the son. God knows all answers before we do.
