I am hurting so bad. We lost Lesa to leukemia.
I know she is with you and Granny. You have 15 grandchildren:
Lesa's: LaShara, LaShad, LaTerrius, LaKiyah, LaNoveus, LaTerykah, LaKaidra, LaNerra
Mine: Brandon, Gabrielle, Zurrai, Khouris, Fallon, Jacarri, Little Dewan
I can't help reflecting on the times riding in your Black 1978 Grand Prix listening to LTD and the O'Jays. I love you dad. Take care of Lesa.
