My heart goes out to Jarrod and the Ransom family. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Aletha and I were childhood friends.We grew up on the same street, played together often. We loved each other as friends. We had a beautiful childhood. Aletha was very sheltered as a child. I would have to sneak out to go and play with her. I would be the one to go and ask her Mom or her grandmother if she could come out and play. I only have fond memories of Aletha. Jerrod, hang in there. Your mom only wanted what was best for you. May God keep you Jerrod and the Ransom family. Rest easy my friend😓I'll see you on the other side.
