Cedric Raynard Ingram

Matthew 6:9–13

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and

the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.

A Tribute to My Brother

Dear Cedric I already miss that special gleam you’ve always had in your eyes.

I’ll never forget our Ingram’s Goodbyes. They were never a handshake, they were always a hug and see you when I see you.

I’ll never forget when we last met, sitting around your kitchen table telling Ingram’s’ Whoppers till we cried.

Though you were the youngest, the thing you did, the beautiful daughters, the lovely wife, and the places you went gave me wonder.

I’LL ALWAYS BE PROUD TO CALL YOU MY BROTHER. LOVE ANTHONY

From the Pendgraft’s A Tribute to our Cousin

"For Cedric, In Memoriam"

Today

We counted our blessings and cried

Soft tears

Tears that start like the gentle ebb and flow

Of the California shore

Tears that disappear

Like the impressions of feet around the places you've been

Places like Heraldo St.

And the Paseo on a gentle autumn day

Places like Castaic Lake

Underneath the light of the 4th of July fireworks

Our tears are soft because your memory,

Your essence,

Was loud. Bombastic.

A presence to be known.

As though all your life you were calling out to the world:

"You won't lose sight of me! Here I am!"

If any of us had known

How short time could be

Would we have laughed more?

Counted and catalogued the details

that make up each other's lives?

The smile. Big and full of warmth.

The voice. Joyful and unique.

The walk. A spring in your step.

The hugs. So sincere and full of love for family.

Would we have committed conversations to memory?

Conversations in the backyard of

Lillian and Chester's home.

Conversations between

cousins and friends

brothers, sisters

husbands, wives,

mothers, fathers

sons and daughters

Conversations over the sounds

of children's laughter and dominoes.
