I haven’t seen him but maybe once on a delivery since he and his brother would come to the Rec Center many years ago. Probably their early teens. Such nice young men. I am so very sorry for your loss. Prayers for healing and strength going.

Teresa, I’m so sorry about Jeryll Don. I just found out this morning. Just know you are in my prayers. I love you and have always loved you. If you need me please don’t hesitate to call me. 🌹🌹
As I watched the live stream today and passed by the church as the funeral was letting out I looked over at his grandmother’s house, the house he stayed at many, many times and the home his mother was raised in, my heart broke again for his family. I haven’t see Jeryll Don in many years but I remember him as a baby and all of us in the neighborhood thought the world of him. I have been keeping his family in my prayers and will continue praying for each of them.
