To the family of Rashaan Jackson.
Rashann will be greatly missed, you and your family are in my prayers and thoughts, it’s not the same here at South High not seeing him. He was a sweet person and always polite.
Hov….. Your smile was so contagious. I can’t remember a time when you didn’t have a smile on your face. I will always remember you that way. Your life ended way too soon, but God needed his angel back. I will miss you, nephew. I really will… My deepest sympathies go out to Reola, his two older sisters, my sister Selina, nephew Amir and everyone affected by his passing. Much love – Sabrina.
