Saundra, do you know where in NJ the family is from?

Not sure but I remember one time Jabbar told me he wished he could go live with his family there. Now it's too late. But let's keep remembering that Jabbar has gone to a better place. He was too good for this earth. Hallelujah!

Update 6/16/03: It is with a heavy heart that I report to you that last week, Jabbar's older brother, Terelle, was arrested for the shooting death of Jabbar. Everyone is in shock as we thought it might have been one of Terelle's gang friends. Of course, Terelle is presumed innocent until/unless proven guilty but it looks like he is the killer. OF HIS OWN DEAR BROTHER!!! Kind of reminds me of Cain and Abel.

I did see Jabbar's Mom and Dad (Mary and Herman Thompson) in Church yesterday. She looks thin and I asked her if she's eating all right. She says she "eats just enough to stay alive." It was really good to see Herman with her yesterday. We need to continue to pray for Mary.

I'm glad Jabbar is out of this hell hole and if his brother was the one who killed him, I can't say what I want to say because it isn't printable.

I love all of you for your concern and love and prayers. God bless you.
