Can't stop missing you. You took me in from the moment we met! Your mom has to be soooo proud! My mom was proud of you and she never got to meet you. But thank you for being the blessing you were to each and every one of us. We will never forget you. I wish we had a little more time to be with you. Watch over and protect us. I plan on being around your family a lot more, just for the love of you. Rest peacefully.

I haven't seen Deshawn since he was a spunky young boy. It is impressive to read the remembrances and know that he grew into a fine person. He left behind a big gap in many hearts. My condolences to his family and friends.
