Hey Family,

I have been released from the hospital and I am recuperating here in Madison, VA with Treasure.

To my family and friends in Maryland and Delaware, I owe you so much for taking caring of me and my stuff during the last few days. The light you gave in my time of need will be remembered. To my daughter Aniya, your prayers and love carried me through this difficult time. You are my heart.

Thanks to my big bro for posting the info about my ordeal and thanks to to all those who have sent me well wishes and prayers.  Joel you have opened your heart to what I started this thing for almost 9 years ago.  Its all about our family being family.

I have to say thanks to Freddie and Edward for reaching out this morning. Freddie we are gonna have to arrange some style lessons for me in the near future.

In closing, I took this picture a few weeks ago because I saw God cradling the Sun. I think it has a different meaning that I discovered in the midst of my crisis.

**** Note **** (Posted by Joel) We are thankful Mony is resting and doing well. For those of you who know his cell number LOL! Take it easy as we want him to rest. Send him email and all  for the next several days and we will keep you updated here on his progress. He has spoken to members of the Ohio and Philadelphia branches of the family and let them know he is all right and they will relay the message to all those concerned hopefully. I have contacted other branches of the family including Pittsburgh and let them know his status as well. In closing I would like to say to my little brother Manuel that I have always known the mission you set out on, in starting this web site but as the twists and turns of life have kept me busy and moving it has been hard sometimes to stay abreast of things. You yourself know how hard it has been sometimes to keep up with news, events and people but as we have several people in the family that are more than capable of, or are technically  competent to, we need to share the load of running this thing as it IS IMPORTANT as a vehicle to the creation and maintenance of the FAMILY. May GOD bless you and our entire family.

Dear Lord, hear our plea of unworthiness and admittance of wrongdoings. Hear our cries of faith and see our tears of joy and belief in you. Hear our troubled prayers of supplication and see our acts of obedience to your will. Hear us O Lord give thanks for your grace and benevolence as we travel in the eye of the storm of humanity aided by the shelter of your love. It is our steadfast and devout wish to be servants and soldiers in the army of good and for the forces of righteousness. We are embattled against those who wish to see harm done to us or that we not succeed and in your name we say NEVER. We will NEVER relent. WE will NEVER give up. We will NEVER give in. We will fight the good fight and live in the light of the beauty of your countenance. As you are the Lilly of the Valley we will tend to your gardens. We will rejoice with you in the salvation and revelation of the redemption of our spirits, our family and yes even in the deliverance of ourselves. We ask you to as a shepherd, watch over our loved ones as they travel the road of life and face the trials and tribulations of this existence. We pray that our humility and atonement for our guilt will be purchase enough for the toll of  your beneficent care . We happily have placed the fate of our loved one in your hands as you are the master physician. We ask you to watch over and to heal him. We ask that in your great wisdom you see fit to give him a full portion of health once again and return him to us whole. For these and other blessings we pray.

Amen.
