Essie,
Words cannot express how sorry I am. I know that Jovon was a very special part of your life. In a blink of an eye your life will never be the same and nothing anyone says can change that, but please know that your friends are here for you. The strength you have shown through your life will help your grandchildren handle this very difficult time. You are their heart and they are looking at you to guide them moving forward on how to use God to understand why. Jovon has accomplished what he was sent to do and now he has been called back to heaven to rest. My thoughts are with you and I know that Jovon is now with his sisters and brother watching over all of you. May an angel walk beside each of you to help ease your pain.
With Love & Friendship,

Lynn Dowdell
