Rochelle, Nikki and family... You know back in high school James and I were very close friends. He was over my house a lot and I spent time at his house with him and his mom. You could always feel the love and pride that James had for his mom. A very nice lady for sure. She always let me know what she was thinking, and I appreciated that. I know that it is hard to lose the ones you love the most, but do try to take comfort in knowing that they are both together in a much better place. You are in my prayers.

I have no words to express what I am feeling. Miss Lacy was always kind to me and could make me laugh. I'm glad that she was a part of my life. I will miss her. God Bless the family and I will keep in touch. Love Gail (Jamel's Mom)

Oh how my heart ached upon learning of the passing of my dear friend, Lessie. We shared many good times and sad times when we were at Jordan. She has left us never to be seen again, but the good memories of her will be with us for a very long time. May God comfort her family under the shadow of His wings.
