But when he did come back over he had you in his arms. I remember when me and ur stepmom Toya(my sister) came to watch you play basketball you were very good on the court.I remember are trips with your mama and Dad me and Den Den(ur uncle) use to always be with y'all until I had a child of my own. Then it was just Den Den and y'all. Nephew I can share so many good memories we had. Even at Qea when you were goin there and I took my daughter Nia to her first day in Pre-K and how you ran up behind me and hugged me saying Hey Auntie. I Love you Nephew and Best believe you will forever be missed. Please watch over us all but most of all your kids. Love you Nephew 😇😇😇

Neziah grandma remember the days that we spent at Quality Education School and when you got in trouble with one of your teachers you said my grandma works here. Mr. Suarez your teacher, said Mrs. Lowrance is this your grandson, I said yes and you smiled! Then you wanted to be on the basketball team. They did not know that you could play ball but you was a good basketball player. I'm going to miss you, but I know that God has you smiling down on all of us. I love you!
