To the family of Shawn A. Madison. My deepest and sincerest condolences to you all.

My cousin Behavior Wade reached out to me about Shawn’s passing. I didn’t know Shawn personally but I know Scottie and knew Wayne. I’ve also met Shelley and April but they may not remember me. It was so long ago. My family are the Harrison and Oscar Matthews families in Mansfield. Scottie talked alot about Shawn and it was always with love and respect. Anyway, I just wanted them to know that I am so very sorry to hear of their brother’s passing and am keeping them all in thoughts and prayers. Scottie, I know it’s been a minute but our friendship is eternal so if you ever need to reach out, I’m here. God bless.
