We were the same age & it hurts to think where he could've been today. So much promise. I read the same book & instantly started crying when they made the reference to Beeper aka Jerimiah. My cousin also knew him and named her first born son after him. He will never be forgotten.<br />My condolences to Nancy who has made a tireless effort for community action in The Developments and the North End.<br />There is an annual family fun day in his memory held every year around the time of his death. This year it will be held @ the Friendship Center on Dufferin & Robinson July 15, 2011 1-4pm. Everyone is welcome to attend.Micahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350351242528684399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982790004592236115.post-82656643130609682512010-01-26T09:00:54.017-06:002010-01-26T09:00:54.017-06:00You are an insanely good writer.You are an insanely good writer.Cindy Titushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894789584941576098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-982790004592236115.post-1428219757753410562010-01-23T12:57:22.126-06:002010-01-23T12:57:22.126-06:00Great work often comes from tragedy....
