Jahmair - The perfect neighbor

How lucky we were to have a neighbor like Jahmair. He was always smiling with his glasses slipping down his nose and wearing a hat a few sizes to big. The moment we met him we were in love. He would come over and tell us what the right thing to do or say on any subject. He would tell Alex the right way to share and correct him when he wasn't doing a good job. If only for a short time, my kids had the little boy across the street whose house they could walk to. It was the friendship we all had as children and the ones we hoped our kids would have. We talked about when they were older and Alex would walk over and ask Jahmair to come out and play. He loved baby Wes and was so gentle and sweet to the littlest Woodworth. Alex and Jahmair fought like cats and dogs, but Alex loved his pal across the street and always included him when he spoke of his friends and who he would have at a party.

We will miss Jahmair and his kind, gentle spirit.
