This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one,
Jamal Durant, 40, born on July 7, 1971 and passed away on December 2, 2011.
We will love and remember him forever.
I'm Free
Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free
I'm following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard His call
I turned my back and left it all.
I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
O yes, these things I too will miss.
Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief,
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee,
God wanted me now, He set me free.
FAMILY & FRIENDS
Light a candle to remember, may it burn ever so bright
As we look to the heavens every day and night.
Beyond the stars, our dear Jamal soared
Embraced by his Savior on heaven's shores.
As the angels protect him and sing his sweet name
We honor his life with the glow of this flame.
So we light a symbolic candle every day and night
As a symbol of our love and his eternal life.

Missing my big bro
Togetherness
I remember that times we (the three amigos (El, Russ, Jay), and the three amigas (Rhonda, Tammy, me) would sit in front of 615 watching people go by and making smart remarks about them. As we embarked on growing up and becoming adults we still had spend time together drinking and laughing about the dumb things we did as kids... Time flies and we all started having children and working those 9-5 jobs that we didnt realize that would keep us from spending time together... the sad separation where the three amigas relocated south while the three amigos remain north... Time flew and now the three amigas learned that one of the three amigos has departed and we never made it back north for our reunion.... I am sad to know that the three amigas and the three amigos will never get that chance to reunite and share our adult dumb stories... RIP my friend for life and death..
