Jeffrey L. Payton and the total essence of his life is like the 'wetness' of the rivers, oceans and seas, inseparable...Just as such is his essence with us, in the WestEnd, where it all began for the amazing lot of us, jewels of the Lord. Some of us shined more than others, Alas, some of us didn't get to shine, but we all shared that inseparable 'oneness' in this life and so shall it be in our departure from this earth. Jeffrey, we all shall meet again 'on the other side', because we are one! One Love, 'Nitty'.

YOU WERE MY STRENGTH AND MY HEART
AND THAT WAS FROM THE VERY START
WHEN I WAS SMALL YOU TOOK MY HAND
AND GUIDED ME TO BE A MAN
WHEN I WAS WRONG YOU TIGHTENED ME UP
SCOLDED ME AND KICKED MY BUTT
YOU SHOWED ME THINGS I NEEDED TO SEE
AND YOU ALWAYS DID LOOK OUT FOR ME
SO NOW THAT YOURE GONE I CANT EXPLAIN
THE WAY IT HURTS THIS AWFUL PAIN
YOU WENT OUT OF YOUR WAY JUST TO PLEASE US
AND I KNOW YOULL DO THE SAME FOR GOD & JESUS
REST IN PEACE MY BIG BROTHER
ILL MOURN YOU TIL I JOIN YOU!!!
I LOVE YOU WITH EVERY BIT OF MY HEART..JORGE:'(
