Everyday is a struggle thinking about you and how you were suppose to be here with us.if only I could just have one last talk with you because even though you were my lil bro. You were one wise soulja and I never got to tell you how much I looked up to you. You were always thinking and no matter what you did you held your own out here. We all miss you so much and will NEVER EVER forget you. Watch over us while you sit with the lord because life is hard. I know you see things changing.hopefully for the better.you never left my heart so I will keep you alive. Your brother, homie, and friend. I love you forever...sonny

Thanks for confirming the deceased was a gangster. Please tell us all, the good things his gang did for humanity. That way we can try to understand why he is in heaven.
As for being wise? I think events have proven otherwise.

It's a grand illusion of all gang enablers to think that these domestic terrorists go to heaven.

@syscom3 Don't know how u got gangster out of the few words his brother expressed. Please share your involvment in the community and changes you have made. Hoping you have a strong relationship with God yourself, being that you know the where abouts of the deceased. And @ Meck, you speak as if you knew Dashawn. Domestic terrorist? You both must be a couple of saints, if not then you too have sinned and came short to the glory of God.
