Continuous prayer and supplication will assist in getting you through this dark time. Keep all your loving positive memories, and rest easy because God will see you through. I love you all.

RIP Jman sending my deepest condolences to your Mom and Family.
To the family of Ja’Shaun, you have my deepest sympathy in the loss of your loved one. Death is truly difficult for parents when their child dies before they do. Have faith because God’s word tells us at 1 Corinthians 15:22, “For just as in Adam all are dying, so also in the Christ all will be made alive.” May you rely on God’s promises to get you through this most difficult period.
