God makes no mistakes. His perfect plan is done. I pray for Malcolm´s wife, daughter, family, and his mother. No mother should ever have to bury her child but sadly this is a reality for many. May God send his angels to encamp around you and give you peace. Rest in the Lord forevermore Malcolm.
For Malcolm´s Mother
In the quiet of the night, where stars softly weep,
A mother's heart holds memories, where her child sleeps.
In the garden of her soul, a flower blooms and fades,
But love's eternal essence in her heart never degrades.
Though tears may fall like rain upon the earth's embrace,
Her spirit finds solace in the memories they trace.
For every laugh, every touch, every cherished smile,
Remains etched in her heart, a presence all the while.
In the tapestry of time, where threads of life are spun,
Her child's spirit dances, forever young.
For love transcends the boundaries of space and time,
In her heart, her child's light will forever shine.

When you have fondly watched someone over the years on sitcoms, movies, concerts, etc. .. it's as if you've gotten to know them even though you've never met them. On the Cosby Show, Theo was my brother Jeffrey's age and Vanessa was my age. We were they, and they were us. We have watched Malcolm Jamal Warner grow up on television and never walked away from his integrity. We share in the wonderful memories and we share in the heartbreak. Praying that GOD ALMIGHTY LORD Above ALL Will Comfort and Strengthen All whose lives were touched in some way by Malcolm Jamal Warner, who is gone physically, but his spirit will live on in his Family, Friends and Fans .. Gone....But Never Forgotten....In JESUS MATCHLESS NAME...Amen
