To the Johnson Family, with deepest sympathy, no words can heal the heart of loosing a child. Please trust that God will heal and take control of this tragic situation. I had the pleasure of meeting Akeem one time during his lifetime and it truly humbles me to know that God wanted someone as sweet as Akeem. May God continue to breathe life into His loved ones.
