We love you CJ. A smile as bright as yours is only fit for an angel. I pray that you know how much of a joy you were to be around, how much you made us all laugh, how much we loved you. From the class we had together to seeing you in the halls, you were ALWAYS smiling. Always putting on that carmex lol, man I'm going to miss you. You're going home tomorrow, and even though I know that it will be hard for everyone, especially those closest to you, you are with The Lord now. You are without pain, you are without affliction, you are at peace. We love you CJ, show The Lord that beautiful smile.
