To Elaine/Snoddy and Evans Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Heaven has definitely gained a wonderful individual. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Kenyatta Hardy

Lj was my cousin, one of my favorite cousins for exactly. He was the janitor at the middle school I attended (T.E Mabry Middle School), he's brought me so much joy seeing him every day and asking how my mom was doing. I was walking to class one day and he walked me to my class, and the last thing he said to me was, "I'll always be there for you". Knowing that I can't see him anymore and see him smile and laugh no more kills me, but I know he'll always be in my heart and always watching over me. RIP Lj ♡ -Maddy Gonzalez
