Hard to believe a year has passed. Football games just aren't the same without seeing your smiling face. Remembering your family in prayer.

The first time i rode the Spec. Ed bus Jap rode this year i could not help but cried. I told the driver i was sorry but it was so fresh in my heart . I loved that child like he was my own. I had him 4 yrs. at SES . We went through some great times and bad ones. Mrs. JoAnn what knows i'm talking about but, Jap got the last laugh of that .He was just a joy in my life, always smiling . I've got to tell this ,one time he got mad a my co- teacher and suppose to be shooting her a bird and it was the wrong finger and i just wanted to fall out. She told him you need to learn how to do it the right way he said S H U T- U P. i said Jap that's not nice and he came to me crying and i gave him a big hug. He will always be miss in my heart. Mrs. JoAnn you are in my prayers.

Jap you were a bright spot in my day while I worked at the Northside Learning Center. I am so glad you had the chance to live some of the goodness of life after you graduated from BRHS. Rest in peace sweet boy. 
To Ms. Joann: May memories of yesterday sustain you in the weeks and months ahead. Be blessed.

Jap was my baby and I loved him very much. I will forever carry him in my heart as I have always.

There's know words that can be said to easy the pain that you all are feeling right now because Jap was someone that had a smile that would still your heart from the moment you first met him I am so glad that I got a chance to had the time I did with him and my heart is so broken to the family just know that he was loved by many and my prayers are with you

The world was a better place with you in it, Jap. Missing that smile already! I love you!

The words cannot tell how much my heart is broken. Jap was my baby when i taught him at Stephens School. He brought sooooooooo much joy in my life and Mrs. Joann i loved her like a mom . I will miss the times Mrs. Kathy Hawkins needed me to ride on the Sp. Need Bus and Jap would say "Speaks" what u doing , i say riding bus with you. He say ok . I loved that child so much he will be miss so much by everyone. He was a people person and always had a smile . That's what i will miss. Good by sweet baby you will make a great Angel.
