So sorry for your loss.
Even though we weren’t friends, the few times I’ve seen you in halls or visit your friends in my classes were memorable. You were funny and charismatic. I didn’t know you but I knew your name and smile. Rest well, maybe play basketball with God, see if you win.
Sending love, strength and my deepest most heartfelt condolences to JJ’s family and all of his friends. My son Mateo and JJ were very close friends since they met in grade 9. This loss is so unbearable but the beautiful memories my son has with JJ will be with him forever. May JJ’s soul rest in peace eternally and may the memories bring comfort to all those who loved him.
