jamal... my nigga detroit...

its not fair that one of our few real soldiers left out here was taken from us so unnecessarily early. you were more of a friend than a person could have ever hoped to meet. In a time when i was unable to find my own way it was your compassion and selflessness that provided the way for me. i will forever remember how a stranger gave me all he had to give including his own so that i had...even with all the time thats passed since then ive yet to witness anything else so touching. every memory that my mind conjurs up is one filled with that ever present smile of yours... THE SMILE OF AN ANGEL... May God see fit for us to cross paths again oneday just so that i can say thank you for being the angel in my life here on earth that he has called you to be while standing along side him in heaven. your memory is forever a cherished one... miss you loved one
