Jab, you were taken away from us way to soon. You still had so much life to live, however God makes no mistakes and HE knows exactly when to call his children home. I will never forget the loving and caring person that you were. You will be greatly missed by many. Marshina, I am so sorry! I know that words can not express the bond that you and Jab shared-thick as thieves. He was your best friend and your only brother. You were his ride or die chick :). I can only imagine the pain you are feeling right now. Know that he is in a better place to watch over and protect you. Ms Linda, Mama Wilson, Tasha, Qashawn, Ranada, Shaquan, and Smurf my heart goes out to you all. If there is anything I can do, even if only to pray; I AM HERE. God bless and may HE provide mercy upon each of you during this difficult time. I love you all!

My prayers and sympathy go out to the entire family and friends. May God give you the peace that surpasses all understanding. Build on each others strength,love,and joy. Jab's smile and his unique way of making you laugh will be greatly missed, but continue to remember the memories of the times you have shared. I know the pain that you feel right now and it seems as if its never gonna get better. You have to let time heal and know that it's a process. Sometimes you may wanna cry, go ahead and cry! Sometimes you may wanna scream, go ahead and scream! But after you get through expressing how you feel just remember that God is there to give you all the love and comfort you!

Wilson Family,

I wish there was something I could do, or even say to take away the pain you are feeling. Jab could bring a smile to anybody's face, that he came in contact with, and that is the biggest memory of all that I will hold on to. Know that I am praying for you all..May God bless you with His peace and comfort.

August 13, 2009

Where do I start, I know most of the family and Keisha is like a daughter to me, I know you feel incomplete right now, however this is where we lean on God for peace, there is no pain that he can't heal, just keep faith in him.
