I, Audery send my condolences and prayers to Lori, Jeffrey, Jazmyn and the whole family. I have lots of memories with P.J over the years. I'm going to miss him so so much and still can't believe he's gone. I remember back in the days when Lori would bring Jeff, Jazz, and P.J to spend time with grandma and his uncle and aunties. We're all around the same ages. Having fun together playing and enjoying grandma Jose good soul food. Grandma would lay newspaper on the living room floor and we all would eat. It was alot of us, so a dinning room table wasn't big enough to sit at. When we were in elementary school during the summer time Lori would come down and pick up my brother, sisters and I from St. Pete and we would spend time at Lori's house playing the Nintendo 64 game. We would play Mario cart . P.J and his brother and sister was good at driving I wasn't. Swimming in the pool.From us living with them playing at the park. One day we all had a family reunion gathering at Uncle Larry and Auntie Pat house and P.J wanted his hair braided. He never had braids before. So I looked at his hair and grasp his edges and said P.J I can grip this, I can braid your hair! He was amazed and surprised. So I told him I could braid your hair going straight back. Everyone was in the front yard garage area while I braided his hair and everyone watched and communicated with one another. I will truly miss you P.J. Love, Audrey
