AND NOT ONLY SO, BUT WE GLORY IN TRIBULATIONS ALSO: KNOWNING THAT TRIBULATION WORKETH PATIENCE, AND PATIENCE, EXPERIENCE; AND EXPERIENCE, HOPE. AND HOPE MAKETH NOT ASHAMED; BECAUSE THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY GHOST WHICH IS GIVEN UNTO US.....THIS PASSAGE IS FOR ALL THE FAMILY,FREINDS AND LOVED ONES THAT HAVE BEEN THERE FOR MY SISTER AND MY FAMILY. THANKS FOR LOVING MY SISTER SO MUCH! IT'S VERY COMFORTING TO READ THE WORDS OF ENDEARMENT AS IT RELATES TO ALI..

WELL ALI, I REALLY AM MISSING YOUR CONVERSATIONS,JOKES, AND LAUGHER. MOST OF ALL I REALLY MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU! ONE THING I KNOW THAT WOULD MAKE YOU HAPPY OR PROUD IS THAT I HAVE RE-ESTABLISH A PERSONAL SPIRITUAL REALTIONSHIP WITH GOD. SMILE! THAT'S THE PUSH I NEED EVERYDAY, THAT TAKES AWAY THE PAIN, HURT, AND ANGER THAT I HAVE HAD BOTTLED UP INSIDE FOR THE PEOPLE THAT YOU PUT FIRST IN YOUR LIFE THAT HAS NOT MADE ONE PHONE CALL, LETTER, EMAIL OR WORD OF MOUTH CONTACT REGARDING YOU AND YOUR CHILD'S WELL BEING, THESE PERSON ALWAYS CONFESSED UNDYING LOVE FOR YOU BUT WHERE ARE THEY NOW. LOVE IS UNCONDITIONAL! I ALWAYS TOLD YOU THAT. YES WE HAVE RIGHTS TO DO OR EXPRESS OURSELVES AS WE PLEASE, BUT WE ALSO HAVE MORAL OBLIGATIONS.......YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE....


IT TAKES TIME TO FORGIVE, EVENTUALLY I WILL LEARN TO MOVE ON WITHOUT THE BITTERNESS..

LOVE YOU ALWAYS ALI YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY PRAYERS DAILY.
GOD BLESS YOU


YOUR SISTER TRACY,

~ TRACY SMITH, SISTER ~ 08-17-2006

I Don't Mind Waiting
To me this is beyond belief. No CNN footage, No Nancy Grace, No Laci Peterson type coverage. What is the problem. Why haven't they found you. I miss you Ali. So many days I have added you to my list of emails and had to check myself. We are all so geeked about the baby, so ready. I still have all of the rest of Yevyns things packed up and ready for you, and the baby and I still refuse to give the good stuff away because you know we were always in sync. Zaneta is trying to hold up but Ali this is soooooo hard for her. Especially with her baby being due all she can think about is you and yours. The boys often ask, " Mama, have they found Auntie Ali yet? " This just causes more tears to flow. My prayers are with your family. I just wanna talk to you. I know that you would call if you could I know that it has been too long but someone knows something and in time they will come forward, and I don't mind waiting. He will reign on the just and the unjust shall not prosper. So for know I will continue to wait with and anguished heart knowing the God will prevail. I love you Ali.

My Family Is Praying For You
Dear Ali,, It has been so long since I've seen you. The last time I saw you was in Publix. You were working in the bakery and I was ordering a cake. I remember how happy I was to see you because I didn't know you were in Tallahassee. I remember you coming from behind the counter and us hugging each other. I think you even asked me about Whitney.

My family and I are praying for you.My mother called me and told me about your disappearance. I just didn't want to believe what she told me. There are some things that I could never say to you because I didn't see you for such a long time. But I always thought you were so pretty and such a nice person. You dated Whitney in junior high school and I knew this, but he said it too...you were so different from all the other girls. I say that in a very positive light. I did not get a chance to really know who you are as a person but I really believe the wonderful things that I've heard. Regardless of the opportunity that I've missed concerning you......I LOVE YOU....I knew you enough to feel that. I will continue to pray for you and your family.

I also want you to know that I am married now. I have been married for two years, and I have two kids (boys). Their names are Jalen (2) and Jacob (14 mo.). Both of them have those big ol' watermelon heads like Whitney. And I live in Virginia. As soon as I graduated from FAMU, I moved to Virginia. I'm praying for you and I love you, Ali. With Much Love........

~ Toyette Eubanks Screen, Longtime Friend ~ 07-27-2006

I don't kown you, but my heart and prayers goes out to you.
I am truly truly praying that every thing is ok and that we fine you real soon.
To the family don;t give up, hang in there, and keep praying and trusting GOD, he will come throught for us.

~ Barbara Sutton, Sister in Christ Jesus ~ 07-26-2006

Are Eyes Are Filled With Tears
Tears fill our eyes, should we all break down n cry, Or should we keep it all inside? We are all lost, don't know what to do, thinking it over in our heads, how come everything has happens to you we just wish, there was someone out there, who could look at you, and make it all better. One of these days just wait n see, how much your being here, means to us all. Even when we were down and lost, we could look at your face and find, a way out!

May god be with you and help you find your way out and home to all of us. We love you and Miss you Ali

~ Jessica Jackson, friend ~ 07-26-2006

I pray for you every night
Ali I dont know you, and i am sure you dont know me, but i have been praying for you ever since you went missing. I can remember when i first heard of it, the first thing i did was pray that God keeps you safe, and bring you back to your natural family and your FAMU Family. I will not stop praying until you return.

~ Brandy Ashby, Fellow Rattler ~ 07-23-2006

Thinking
I've been thinking alot this past week about Ali. Specially knowing that she would have been due on the 18th. Parent-hood is the most rewarding thing in the world not something I heard, but something I know from personal experience because I gave birth to my first child two months ago. And I know Ali would be a great mother, because she is a great cousin even though we didn't see eachother everyday. There are so many questions why isn't her story on every channel you turn to?? Why isn't she on every newstand?? Why haven't they found her yet?? Or why don't they have some one in custody yet?? A person does not go "missing without a trace" this is not a t.v. show. This was a actual person who is missed dearly and deeply. She wasn't just a nobody she was a mother to be,a daughter, a sister, a niece, a cousin and a friend to many. Someone knows something, saw something and the person who has something to do with my cousins disappearance is still running free. I pray none of you'll get any rest, sleep or peace no matter where you go. Because the person who knows something is just as guilty as the person who was last to be with her. Who ever you are you may think you got away, but you haven't. And your mother, father, sister, brother won't be able to save you and your day will come very very soon. Beacause you have to pay for what you did and if there is any cover up going on anywhere I pray it comes to the light because every one knows the saying "what's done in the dark comes to the light". I love you Ali, love "Sam"

~ Alicia"Sam" Jones, cousin ~ 07-21-2006

Wow Hard to believe your still gone
Wow I don't hear much on Ali any more since I've moved from Tallahassee I've tired my best to keep up with things and check on how things are going. It's so ahrd to believe Ali is still missing and no one knowns anything it's like she vanished in to thin air one day I know in my heart someone out there knows something and they are either scared to come forward or they just don't care.. I know it's hard for you all not knowing one min from the next where your sister,cousin ,daughter is. I read on here the other day that Ali was due to have her baby on Tues the 18th I don't really know the words to say to you all I hope and pray to god that she's safe where ever she is I know it's hard on you all going back and forth from Tallahassee not knowing what your about to walk in to. One of my biggest shocks yeat was reading where Attallah had wrote about James and not letting the family in Ali's house and not showing up for things thats about his wife. A person would think that at this everyone would come together and help each other out threw this hard time.. I pray to god you all find the answers you are looking for and I pray to god that he will make this person suffer for the rest of there life for doing this to you all and Ali.
I hope all works out for you all and Ali comes home safe.
God Bless You All

~ Felicia Arnett-Starke, Friend ~ 07-16-2006

Missing
Ali, I really miss you. We keep praying and looking to GOD because he sees and knows all. He knows how we miss you.
I was excited when you told me that you were going to have a baby. I was going thourgh family photos. I came across some pictures of you that I had taken when I was in the Navy. That was so long ago and it seems as though a life time ago because so many of our family members have passed on. I was looking at the pictures on this site and looking at you and I saw so much of the Grimsley in you. One you reminded me of Aunt Gearldine, I saw our grandmother, saw Gaynelle, and one that reminded me of your mother. I really miss you because in our family that is so large we may not talk everyday but We Love Each other. I miss you because in you I saw my father because he beleived that the family was important. You and I had talked about getting our family together for a reunion that was something that Aunt Gearldine had discussed in Germany when she came over for Princess wedding. I miss your emails, phone calls and I miss hearing my mother saying Ali called me. She loved when you called. Missing YOU and the BABY.

~ Gloria Grimsley-Nious, 1st Cousin ~ 07-15-2006

Thinking Of You
Ali, for some time now I've contemplated putting my thoughts in black and white, but didn't quite know if I could do it. The last time I saw you was Homecoming 2004. You where the first, very first person I met when I set foot on FAMU campus as a freshman. Over the past few months I have constantly thought of the times that I got to share with you during our college years. It wasn't until later on in life that I realized how much I learned from you. Those lessons I still take with me today. I know you are in a much better place now, there is no doubt about that. I will pray for you as I have been. There is so much more I want to say but I know you understand.

~ Rodrecius (Rod) Jackson, Friend ~ 07-14-2006

Where are you!!
Where are you? It's been to long with no answer or reply, I don't understand what is going on with you and the baby....I wish that I had some answers to where my sister is. I am very disappointed at myself that I can't bring you and the baby home. All I do is think about you, your beautiful smile, and the baby ( I just think about how we were going to have the Baby Shower this month in West Palm Beach) I am very sad that we weren't able to have your first baby shower. I remember our last conversation about the Baby Shower, you were explaining what theme you wanted. I want you to know that it really hurts not to give you the baby shower that you deserve. I am still planning for the baby shower. I can't wait to see you. We love you so much!!

~ Attallah McLawrence, Sister ~ 07-11-2006

I Miss You!!
Please wake me up out of this dream, the dream is to long. Just want everything to be normal. My weekly phone calls my emails from you. I haven't heard from you since January 29, 2006. I really miss your phone calls. I can't wait to see you and the baby. Please give me a call- it's been to long with no answer. Stay strong, I Love You so Much!!

~ Attallah McLawrence, Sister ~ 07-11-2006

Where Are You!!! It is just about Time!
Ali, next week is the big week. The baby is due July 18, 2006. I hope that you are okay. I can't wait to see the baby. I love you so much and I can't wait to see you. It's been to long- a total of 5 months, and we still don't have a clue- where you and the baby are. Please keep your faith hold on and continue to pray. I can't wait for this testimony. I love and I miss you so much. Come home soon.

~ Attallah McLawrence, Sister ~ 07-11-2006

Wondering
I am constantly checking this site as well as: 1) Praying for your life. 2)Hoping there might be a slight clue. 3) Reading words that are spoken from the hearts of many who care. You are still fresh in our hearts. This morning I went back into time, and looked at a picture I have of you. There you were with your Publix apron on. So eager to go to work. Standing so tall in front of your home awaiting your mother , my aunt. It seems so crystal clear as if it was yesterday, but many years ago. I remember, and will never forget you.I pray that Ali’s is safe, bless her from head to toe.God we pray for any all individuals who know the whereabouts Ali. Give that person strength to speak out. Lastly, provide a light to shine, and guide her home.

I had to call a friend that worked with us to make sure I heard and saw what I did on the news. My heart goes out to you all I don't know what I'd do if this was to happen to me.

STILL PRAYING FOR YOU!
I have been checking the website and surfing the net to find out more information about the status on a regular basis since your disappearance. I'm speaking directly to you because deep down inside I hope that one day soon you will read this and the other comments made and realize how much you are in everyone's thoughts and prayers. I pray that wherever you are, you will be returned safely to your family soon. We came into FAMU in 1993 together and were aquaintances since then through a host of mutual friends and classmates in the HIM program at FAMU. I hope that you will return safely home soon!

~ Monique Canty, Friend/Fellow FAMUAN ~ 06-07-2006

Wow!
It has been this long and I just found out about your dissapearance. I rememember the last time I saw you. It was at the light at 45th street and Congress. You were in town for Gaynelle's Funeral and you spotted me from accross the intersection. You smiled and told me about her death and told me try and make it to the funeral. I couldn't make it. If only I had known that would be the last time I would see your smile. The same smile you had when were were little and we would get to have sleep overs at each other's houses for weeks at a time. The same smile that you had when you used to have when you would pass me in the halls in high school when I thought I was too grow to listen to you.

Wow! I did not have contact with you in recent years and I did not know what you were going through but I do know that you have always been god-fearing and loving to everyone around you. I pray that god has mercy on you and may he bring you and your family peace. I love you.

~ Kristie West, Childhood Friend ~ 06-06-2006
