I’m so shocked.. It’s just like you came across that field and Who did you talk about to me? Jesus. You told me and my mom every night before you go to bed you pray for me, my aunts and everyone because it’s the right thing to do.I know you are in heaven smiling down now. Love you much Vida.

Albert Edonniers Mills, Jr. (D.J.) was born on March 26, 1979 in Suffolk, VA. He attended Suffolk Public Schools and graduated from Lakeland High School.He was well known for his Mathematical gift. For example, if you told him what year you were born, immediately he would tell you how old you were. He was an encyclopedia for dates, numbers, baby weights and lengths. He was very loving, caring, and always made you feel special. He had an infectious smile and would tell you how much he loved you. He would lighten up the room and brought joy with great energy! He loved people genuinely and was so excited to see you!
Even though family and friends were important to him; his relationship with the Lord was most important. He loved Jesus and would often share Christ with others. When asking him how he was doing, his answer was, Blessed and Highly Favored!
