I met Maal roughly around 2010-2011ish via Xbox 360 (online) where I had created a gaming group (RBT) where we competed against other groups/teams which led to some of us being long term buddies.  We were all very young then so gaming/chatting online is how we bonded. I was finally able to meet Maal in our adulthood phase when he moved to Texas. He was always forward looking and always use to call me to share how he wanted to do better for not only hisself but for his family. I am honored to have met someone over the game that i have known for 10+ years. This is a very unfortunate situation and all love to the family. ❤️

Leslie, 

My sincerest condolences to you and your family on Jamaal's transition.  I am praying for you during this difficult season and I'm confident that the Holy Spirit will comfort you.  Also know that I am here to assist and support you however I can.  Sending you lots of love and hugs my dear sister. 

We are ever-thankful to have been part of your life. Your beautiful smile beamed with the love in your heart and the joy of the Spirit within you. It was our privilege to love and encourage you during  your growing-up years, then to know you as a mature brother in the Trinity Moravian Church family. 

Please accept our deepest condolences; our prayers are for comfort and blessings for your family.

Leslie-Ann, 

Ecclesiastes 3:4 reminds us, that there is a time to mourn and a time to dance, that dance represents the precious time God allowed you to share with Jamaal. Hold onto those memories. Dance through the tears. Dance through the moments of denial. Dance through the weight of sorrow. And as you journey toward acceptance, find comfort in knowing that Jamaal is in a better place.                                                                                       May the PEACE of OUR GOD rest upon you and your family and remain with you more so in this season. God is holding you, even now.  He is our Jehovah Shalom.
