I am the daughter of Ratana Johnson and my sister is Edana jones and the comment that she made about my mother having 3 children was wrong information my other had 4 children,little William, he was born before me and I was not born yet but before I was born little William died of sudden death send rum.all I want is to have everything that's ever belonged to my mommy and to know how she was murdered and why. And this is a message to all the other kids out there, just because you r mad at your parents, don't ever say you hate them because if you lose them you are going to wish you spent most your life with them and every moment with them.by the way, I am not 11 I am 12 I was born on august 26,1999. And my mother died when I was seven years and 1 week in a half before my birthday and I was turning 8 years old and yes I miss my mommy so much so kids out there, be happy that you still have both your parents and that you didn't have to go to 10 different homes at a young age and had to teach your-self how to do every thing cuz your mother wasn't around as much.

Sincerely,
Jacara.H.J.J.Jackson

Yes my mother died when I was 7 years old and I didn't even know her because I was sent to go live with my father,William Jackson,for what well, I have no idea why my own mother did it but she did. All I want is to find out what happened to my mother,but the messed up thing about it was that I been to Tony's house and the house was a man chant and I was told to go in a room and stay there and the next few weeks my mother was living the house and me and Edana me=jacara, told not to go to his house that night because we knew something bad was going to happen that night and the next moring when I woke up I called and she didnt pick up so I called and called until she picked up the phone but she never did but when Edana called she picked up but that was after we found out that she died and it was kinda confusing to us cuz how can she be dead and still pick up the phone and that's when I found out my sister can hear and see dead people. Oh and for the record I am 12 not 11 I was born in August 26,1999. So I'm 12 turning 13 so thank you very much.
