Jerald you and I go way back to 1980. Our time spent over the years were great. I am so glad that we were able to speak to each other this year.
You’ve gained your wings now and are resting with the Lord. Rest easy my friend until we meet again. 🕊️🕊️🕊️🌹🌹🌹
I'm going to miss you my friend. I still remember those days when you would come over to the house on McCalls Ave, now MLK Blvd, and act like a clown. We had some good times.
