Hello everybody, my name is Jackie. I am Jerome's cousin. Jerome appointed me his person to handle his business should it ever come to this point. Well, unfortunately, on Easter Sunday, he was called home to be with the Lord and his mother and his aunts and uncles, and all those who have passed before him.

His aunt and I are left with planning his funeral and we could use the financial assistance to help cover the cost and any bills that may follow. I don't know what else to say, except that my cousin was a unique person who taught a lot of us about music and he was always there for us when we needed him. We shared many laughs and many fun adventures, and we shared many tears and had our fair share of arguments. But the bond we had between us all was never broken. Mr. Jiverome is what he used to write all over his CDs and tapes that he would make for us all. He loved his freestyle music and loved his Dodgers. Over the years, Jerome made many friends and they got to see how wonderful of a person he could be. Some even considered him family because that's the kind of person he was. Jerome's passing has left us all hurting and we all feel a piece of our heart missing. We all hoped and prayed he would get better. God did answer our prayers though if you look at it, Jerome is better now. He is no longer suffering, no longer in pain, and he can walk and run and dance freely. I'm sure he is giving everyone a concert with his love of music in heaven.
