On April 18th, Good Friday, our family was struck with some devastating news. My nephew, Dontrell Jr., also known as Deuce, was killed from gun violence traveling home with two other friends. Duece was our big teddy bear. No matter what, he always smiled. Deuce is our second that we have lost to gun violence, and at a young age. To know Duece, was to know what feeling secure felt like. Duece carried me on my worse days while I was fighting cancer, and now I want to be able to carry him to his final home we call Heaven. Thank you for any and everything. Love you all!!
