Jaz dude, this is still hard to process. I swear I hear your laugh. I gotta remind myself you aren't here. You were loved by so many, and I know you are going to be remembered forever. Most people just leave a mark on their family, babygirl you left a mark on cities, towns, people, places. Always a Queen, but now a Queen with wings. Missed always. #juice #juicetheaccountant #longlivejaz
