To my sister Ms. Newsome words can't express the way I truly feel. We have lost one of our falling angels but it was only because God said he needed another soldier on the field. So with that being said my Nephew is up there working 4 God and watching over us. I need him 2 know that auntie really loves him to the moon, stars and back. I'm wrapping my arms around us all including him!

I was shocked and saddened when I heard the news about Deshelon. All I could think of was having Deshelon in my 1st period Speech class at Bowman. Deshelon was one cool young man who always told me, "Ms. Bradley I gotta make this money. I gotta grind." He was determined to make money, always respectful, and intelligent. Deshelon never gave me any problems. Whenever he was out of uniform because of wearing gray Levi's instead of gray khaki's or wearing his different pairs of Jordans instead of all black shoes, he would say "I'll go home and change, but I'm stopping at McDonalds to grab me some breakfast on the way back. Ms. Bradley, do you want me to bring you back something?" I would laugh and say no even though I thought about saying bring me back some hotcakes and sausage. Deshelon will be missed. I'll never forget him walking in with his glasses on, staying fresh, especially during Senior Week saying "Ms. Bradley they don't know nothing about his Polo," and just being a respectful young man. My heart and prayers go out to Deshelon's family and Shamari at this difficult time.
Ms. Bradley
