AJ, one year ago today you were taken away from us. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you, your beautiful smile, your selflessness, your big heart and your unconditional love. I'll always remember how you would call everyday to tell me how much you loved me and I'll never forget how we prayed together every night over the phone. You were my pride and joy, I was blessed to have you in my life. My first grandchild, My loving grandson, I'll never stop loving you, MiMi loves you more! God has you in his arms and I'll forever have you in my heart

Dawn and Michael, you have Wayne and I deepest sympathy. I can still picture AJ as a very young child always sitting with Dawn playing the bongos in church before he left to move to Dallas and also when he danced with the Liturgical Dancers. I haven't seen him since then. He grew to be a very handsome young man. He had you in him Dawn and I am sure he woke up everyday always remembering all you taught him. He is with God now and will forever be happy. When you sleep at night he will brush your tears away and whisper in your ear not to cry for him, that he is doing fine. I will continue to pray for the repose of his soul, but will also continue to pray for his family to find healing in his loss.
