Six memories of Devon Demilo Jones

“

Still thinking about you Devon. It's been 5 years since your passing and still I think about how much the world needs a person like you. I know you wanted to become an English teacher. I am going to carry out that dream for you. Just know that although you're gone, you are not forgotten. Thank you for always being positive and for believing in me when I didn't believe in myself. I love you and I thank you for always preaching the word of God. Many of us did not understand in high school how vital it is to have Jesus in our life...but you knew. I am certain that others are crediting you for introducing them to the word. I pray that your mom is hanging in there. You're an angel.
