Not sure what to say?

Those of us who knew JD and Mae could never forget them because of their friendship and compassionate love for others. In addition to JD, there was also Eural McKelvey´s teammate where they teamed up as members of the Harlem Clowns who entertained millions of basketball fans not only in the USA but globally. My blessing to his family who continue to keep his memories alive. Nat Bates, Former Richmond Mayor and currently City Councilman.
