My condolences to the family

I remember Jon wanted to take me out of town for my birthday and he didn’t have enough money. He called Dee. There were no questions asked. Dee told him, ‘Nephew, come get what you need!’ Definitely a true gem.
It was a pleasure to get to know you all those years ago. The one that that stood out is that you really loved your community. That’s not something one learns. You are born with that gift. Many people were blessed because of the love you had for them. Rest in peace.

I love you cousin, thank you for always being yourself. You will truly be missed, I love you so much ❤️
My heart is broken but I’m grateful for the decades of love & support. The fond memories we shared together will get me through the rough days ahead.
Respectfully,

My life will not be same. A 50 year sisterhood is not easy to let go. Our journey started as crossing guards at Turner Elem (in which U were always late), to Ryan Cubs band, to the mighty JY Marching Motion band (teaching U the band dancings) to being our van driver (riding around doing nothing but burning tanks of gas). You were always full of ideas and drama with a big caring heart. The "bossy me" was always battling with your "spoil brat" behavior. We both worked each other nerves with great love and respect. Even when you got comfortable to pubically live in your truth....I still gave U the side eye and choice words. You were always pitching a business ideas....which lead to the birth of Club 2020. Who would have thought an idea on a napkin would have become a nationally known venue. My most proudest moment was at a pride parade and U came down Main street with biggest 3-level float filled with a DJ, music, lights, twerking and such much hype. A young black business woman doing the damn thang.....who was my friend. In spite of God honoring U with so many blessings, darkness always stayed in your soul. As I struggle in understanding and coping with your transition, Im praying the sadness is replaced with enternal joy. May U forever rest in peace....my dear friend and keeping roaring my fellow Jack Yates Lioness.
