To The Littlejohn´s ..I´m so sorry to hear of loss. We grew up together in the Bronx. 750 E 163rd Street McKinley Projects. He was such a nice person, always calm and collective. Whatever he was going through, you can be sure that he´s in no pain but in peace. God gets the glory over life and death. I´m praying for your strength and for God´s comfort from your family.
