Neil and Melissa,
I was shocked to hear about Jerrel just yesterday. I feel as though part of my heart is gone. She has been my forever friend for over 33 years and I know our lives will never be the same without her. I am so grateful for the recent times that I was blessed to have with her. To Neil, I can't imagine your pain. Be strong you are in my prayers. Melissa, you too are like a big sister to me and I don't know what to say to possibly console you. Know that I love you and if you need anything please call me. Jerrel - I will always love you with all my heart and soul, Rest in Peace with MaMa my Angel.
