I was so saddened to hear of your passing classmate. You were always such a kind soul. We literally grew up together. I remember those 15th street days and playing in the street when you stayed across from my grandparents. Good people are hard to come by. Im thankful I had the opportunity to know one. Mr Desmond Lafayette. Praying for the family and loved ones. THS CLASS OF 2002

Vonn, I’m heartbroken for you girl. Siblings are a special part of our lives. And being the only brother is a tremendous loss for your family. I’m praying for you baby girl. I’m just a phone call away if you need anything.

Nephew, the last time we spoke I could hear your smile through the phone as you said Hey Auntie! Your smile was contagious and heartfelt. Take your rest. I love you forever.
