My brother I wss lost for words when I heard of your passing. We met when you were a teenager and your father used to bring you to the barbershop to get a haircut. Even though you had a bald head you would still come and get a cut and beard trim almost every week. We've had many conversations. We talked about God. I know you are sleeping in Christ but One day on that great getting up morning we will meet again. Family you are in my prayers. May the Lord Comfort, strengthen, and keep you.... God Bless you all

Dear Crystal and family,
I pray God´s peace that passes all understanding and the comfort of the Holy Spirit. I´ll always remember that beautiful young boy with the thick eyebrows bouncing the basketball in my den with, Mike. What an amazing young man he became. Thank God for his precious life and May he now Rest In Peace. Crystal, I send love and prayers.

I am so very sorry for the Alexis/Ellis family's loss of Zarko. It goes without saying that a mother should not have to lose a child. My friendship with the Alexis family goes back to 1980. The Alexis family has been more like family to me than friends for 42 years. I love/loved them all. Zarco was just a baby when his parents would come to my office to visit. I had hot wheels cars that I kept in my drawer for him to play with every time he came in. And he knew to look for those little cars. May Zarco rest in peace and may his family know that we will all meet again when God calls us home.
