I met Jerome while we worked together he was so fun and made work fun. He was always loud, laughing, joking and carrying on. I eventually was invited to his house and met his mom and they fed me and my daughter and my mom. I will never forget one Christmas when I didn't have much and with no family here Jerome invited me over for Dinner after I left a friend's home. Jerome was a true friend and always helped everyone. This is shocking and I'm sad because Time got between us and we didn't keep in contact as much over the past few years. Every now and again Jerome reached out... At first laying me out for not calling then we would end up joking and laughing and talking about getting together soon Jerome you were a true friend and you will be missed. Rest in Love.... Latica

I will never forget my first day working with Jerome and how everyday after that he would never let me come in without a laugh and a smile. We stayed friends after and he became my family. I always loved coming to visit him or just calling to hear him sing me a random song. I am ever so grateful to cross paths with a human as amazing as he was and will always hold him close to my heart. I love you Jerome. Thank you for all your love. Jermany

The Goolsby Family extends our condolences to The Faison Family. Jerome was always a good, humbled soul. He had a great sense of humor and encouraging word, Whenever I would see him. Also, Jerome sister (Linda) and I played sports on the same team in the past. Sometimes his people would give me a ride home from practices, with his sister. May The Faison Family continue to keep the faith, in this time of bereavement. Jerome is resting in the arms of the Lord! #PSALM 121 (From: SHIRLENE GOOLSBY) R.I.H Jerome
