My heart is heavy to know that Adrian is gone and so suddenly.We grew up together on Langston Place in SE Washington DC. I remember the many times we played together as children when our mothers got together. Those were the good old days. I am so glad to know that he continued to be the great person I knew as a child. He had a wonderful family that loved him, and God loved him more. Adrian is at peace now and at home with God. We rejoice in the fact that he lived his life in the light of Spirit so that he could return home to God. Rest in peace my friend. I will see you again.

To Miss Alfreida, Mr Howard, Milo and Candace, you have my love and prayers during this most difficult time.

I was sadden to hear of this news. My heartfelt condolences are offered to you and your family as you mourn the loss of such a wonderful, caring man. Adrian would light up any room he walked in and he will certainly be missed by all who knew him. Lean not to your own understanding, but totally depend, during this difficult time, upon the Lord. Showers of spiritual blessings upon you all.
