We're all seated in the church.
It's packed...
Neva know Ramone did this much for his old community. Literally everybody have a story dem wah share.
Know him fi years... and the way him quiet you wouldn't even think he was behind so many projects.
His niece is delivering a bible verse while the choir hums in the back.
Sue and my mom have the babies in the row just behind me. They've been quiet all this time and mi love that fimi. Ruse is in a wheel chair just beside Mariah in the row before us.
Junior is to my right at the end of my row....
