Our family was deeply sadden to hear that Jamal had transitioned. Mom and Dad watched him grown up and we're really fond of him. He showed concerned for Mom during her battle with cancer. Mom transitioned a few months ago, I'm sure she is looking out for Jamal. He will be missed, you all are in our prayers.

To my lil sister Kisha, Big Michael, the boys and the Peters family. I am so sorry for the lost of Jamaal. He has always been my lil baby. He and I would talk at the park since he was a lil boy. I saw him not long ago out here in Br at Ronnie's game, and we picked up conversating like always. He was a very sweet young man and proud father. I love you guys and will keep you, and the family lifted in prayer for strength and comfort.

Blessed are those that mourn, for they will be comforted Matthew 5:4
