rhonda, it has been a long time since i saw you but i used to see jerel from time to time on the bus. he would be so polite even when i knew he didn't recognize me. i am shocked and saddened to hear that he passed away. once again that sick feeling in my stomach has come back because another sweet person has lost their precious child. i send my deepest condolences to all of you and a prayer for strength and healing that only almighty god can provide. God bless all of you.
