My heart has shattered into a million pieces at the news of losing one of My Babies. Though we’ve spent years apart and you were now grown, you will always remain one of Mine! So many memories growing up, helping raising you and your siblings with your Mother. My God did she love you! Life is so wild! Taken way too soon! Way too young! My heart and soul are with Your Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers, extended family and friends as they try and process and navigate life without you! Shit is surreal! May you Rest In Peace, D’Antae Jee."
