This was Jovonni’s world; we just lived in it from the moment he woke up until he went to sleep. He was so full of energy and life. Whatever you were eating or drinking, he was too. Jovonni had the most infectious laugh that would brighten any room, and a smile that would just melt your heart. Even though we had him for a short while, his memories will live on forever.
