Thank you to everyone who has been sending kind supporting words to my family and I. Do know your words brings us much comfort and shows us how much we are loved and blessed.
Please continue to share my father’s story but please don’t make the situation worse than it is. My father was not a troublemaker and would not want his death to stir up problem.
This whole ordeal has been painful but it has really opened my eyes to how much love and kindness is out there amongst strangers. We may never be able to rid this world of hate but as long as we continue to love and respect one another everything will be okay❤❤❤
We are asking for help to raise funds for the reward for any tip that leads to the arrest of suspect(s). THANK YOU
