Jerome was my baby cousin.  We  were all so excited when he was born.  

When he was older, I thought he was so handsome and charming.  

We all use to laugh together when our older family members  frowned upon our actions at the dinner table.

About 6 or 7 years ago, Jerome came to our home in New Jersey.  Unfortunately, I wasn't available, but he promised to come back for dinner that night, but he did not come.  

May his memory always be a blessing for his family and everyone that knew him.

I am shocked and heart broken to have just learned of Jerome's passing.  May he rest in peace now forever. There are just too many memories or stories to share here, he had a beautiful soul❤. Life wasn't always easy and beyond challenging sometimes for him but I am so grateful for our time together. I will forever miss him. My condolences to his friends new and old and his family blood and faith.   Until we meet again .....


I just learned of Jerome's passing and am shocked.  I always enjoyed his heartfelt comments in our Sunday evening Crosscreek Baptist Church meetings.  I pray that God has gathered his soul into the realm of his Son, Jesus Christ and Jerome now understands the word "awesome" for the first time!   I also have every confidence that he is experiencing Peace as never before.  Sometimes God's will happens after we leave his creation.  I miss you, Jerome.   

Prayers for the family of Jerome. I’d gotten to know him the last few years and always was grateful to see him and hear of his journey. He will be missed in our group. I thank God for his life. 
In His Grip,
Kim Morris
