Add A CondolencePiro, I am still at a loss for words my brother. What do you say when the words just won't come together? I believe you'd agree with me, we just say ROLL TIDE!! I know that you were rolling all the way into God's Kingdom. You are truly missed. Go Hornets and Roll Tide forever.
To cousin Dionne and family, Please accept my deepest condolence and know that God loves you and can give you all peace, restore your spirits and strengthen you all. I am glad to have known Shapiro, I realize that you all have lost a special person, I like to believe that when we lose someone close to us, they still live through us and give us strength. The time we spent with those we've lost makes them part of us. My family and I will be praying for strength, peace,and comfort for you and your family. Stay strong cousin and remember we are here for you always. Love you and the family.
Shapiro,
I will miss our college rivalry, you being our dj on the group text, your urging of peace between enemies, but most of all..I have and will miss my brother. I can remember us saying that the devil intended for us (Sharon, Juan, Candace, Meghan, Bridgette, You and I) to be at odds, but God brought us together as a Family of Friends. Well, they say to never say never so this one's for you... ROLL TIDE DJ SHAP!!! You are greatly missed and will always be dearly loved.
Family, we are both mourning with and praying for you all. May God continue to comfort you during this time.
Shannon Jones-LaBeaud and Family
Rest dear brother. I heard great things about you but never met you personally. To my childhood friend, Dionne, may God wrap Himself around you and your children for the rest of your life. Take courage and know his timely death is not in vain. Your Father in heaven knows the pain you are enduring. Count it all joy when you face every trial and tribulations. May the fruit of your lips praise God in spite of it all. Take care my love. God will not fail you at all.
Rest bro, I pray that God forgives your sin, may God open Heaven doors. Please watch over ur kids and wife. Continue resting
