My heart is truly overwhelmed. I will forever remember the conversation you had with Tommy and I on Tuesday. Your beautiful smile was the first thing I saw and my last memory of you. You were so proud when we talked about you having your son by your side and waiting on your orders for your duty station. I appreciate you working with TJ and I am so glad I got to thank you personally for that. We will always LOVE YOU.

To the Bowens & Jenkins Family,

I didn't know "JJ" as he was affectionately called, but from the times I saw him he was always smiling. Family I can't even image what your going through right now, just know weeping endureth for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Just hold on to God's unchanging hands, he will never leave you nor forsake you.

May God continue 2 watch over each and everyone of you in the family. I went to school with JJ who was indeed a sweet and loving person that will forever be remembered. JJ a member of the Class of 2005, a hilarious young man that kept the class rolling indeed.. To Tanisha and da boys, " Keep your heads up and just know that GOD has everthing in his hands".... JJ will sadly be missed by his classmates of 2005....

for my family-
we all know what type of person JJ was. loving, caring, protective, outrageously smart and funny. this is like a bad dream that we all wish would just end. JJ lit up the world not only with his smile but also with the way he could make EVERYONE else smile....JJ none of us can really believe that you're actually gone, i know i cant, i mean i just seen you at the family reunion...you came to pick me up to take me in the jam. NEVER in a million years did i think you would leave us so soon. you were like a big brother to me and i ALWAYS had a blast when ever i was around you. you may be gone, but your spirit and memories will live FOREVER in our hearts...i love you and i miss you dearly. R.I.P cuzzo.

To my Loving Family:
The healing process will be slow in the coming weeks, but to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Doris, Auntie, and Uncle Big: You raised a wonderful young man who will continue on this earth though his seeds. Tanisha: You will continue to be that positive role model in your son's lives that you and JJ have always been. I love you all and will continue to pray for our family.

To My cousins Tenisha& The Boys and the Entire Jenkins, Bowens, Smalls Family

Sometimes things happen in our lives we don't seem to understand and we may ask the question "why", but God knows who, when and why. The word declares, Proverbs 3:5&6 Trust in the Lord with ALL thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths. Trust God because he is the only one who can and will keep you and take you through this now and in the days adhead. I am praying with you and for you. With Much Love and Care Always
