I'm sorry to hear of Mr. Jarriel's passing. I have fond memories talking with him when I lived in the neighborhood. He always was pleasant with a smile. My condolences to Mrs. Jarriel and family.

Mr. and Mrs. Jarriel were our neighbors when we lived in Indian Head Acres. They were so sweet to us and somewhat "adopted" my son as their grandson.
I shall never forget all of their acts of kindness.
Mrs. Jarriel- Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
