Dear family of young Kevon Scipio, my heart is still hurting for the loss of my son, he was 48 yrs old but would always be my son. I am reaching out to you to hold him up to your Lord & Savior thanking him for taking him away from all pain and evil of the world. He is in God's hands and although we are told our children are lent to us and the Lord takes them home and we must let go. I know what you all are feeling, its hard, grief is a 24 hour a day effort and although time was created to be a great healer the absence of your child hurts forever.
Kevon would not want you to be hurting, cry, its good for you but pull yourself up by your shoestring and go with God,
