I thought that Jebari going home service was amazing and full of love despite the circumstances. I think that  Shea and ZaZie will get a lot of community support for years to come.

My heart aches, but I have to keep reminding myself it was a blessing to have known Jebari in the time he was here with us. My condolences goes out to the family and especially his wife Shea. 
Please know that you have extended love,  we are praying for strength for you and your family. I will miss his greeting me with, "auntie".  Such a cool dude. 

Dearest Shea and Family-

My heart and soul ache for you in these moments of grief and hurt.  Know that you, Jebari, and your family and community are loved and supported by so many...I hope knowing that there is a web of care that surrounds you brings some solace over the days and weeks to come.  With deepest love and support.

Dear Shea and family. I am holding you in my heart, building on the community of love and peace that surrounds you. 
It is my esteemed pleasure to have share space and time with Jebari especially during the grown pained years of adolescence and into young adulthood. Sophomore year, HS of Fashion Industries, New York City was our first encounter. We were introduced during the competitive engagement of Varsity Basketball and forever bonded by our mutual love for life, discovery and creativity. He brought such personality and charisma unlike any I've encountered before. Coming from a strong family background, I could see immediately that he was man of integrity, spirit and love. He embraced me as a brother from another. He shared with me, laughed with me, created with me... a TRUE FRIEND is what I obtained. Once he came to me, in curiosity of my integrity as one man to another... and because of my love and respect for him, Ive never withheld truth from him. I often felt that was a deciding moment in our growth together that solidified a future of true companionship. Regardless of the distance between us, the experiences gathered on our separate paths in this life, Ive held his gift of friendship near and dear. This event changes nothing. Forever, I Love You. I will see you again. Peace Brethren.
My deepest condolences to the entire family. Ya'll are my family too, that was my brother. I'll will always be here for you all. I love you Shea and ZaZie. Love you Jebari.
