This has got to be the most purest form of delusional I ever seen in my life. How do you attempt to divorce someone and then when they pass you so in love not to mention you created a whole different obituary from what the family originally created. To made sure that you was seen cause you wasn't heard. You need some type of help Jhavia. Chantel has one daughter and a son and neither of them is mentioned in this mess!
Best friend I love you beyond death as we tatted to infinity and beyond and you knew I would speak up against this mess!
Rest well my sweet loving wife.I will always love you
