Man oh man…. From Woodson Middle School, to being grown men in life, until we lost touch, Keyon, you were ALWAYS a friend. After so many good memories and good times that just replay, over and over, I’m just lost for words. I could go on and on about our younger days at Woodson, and us laughing about Mr Carr always catching me doing something and calling me “Donto”… You broke me wit this one Yon… Thank you for your friendship, I’ll ALWAYS cherish it, and the many memories of you my friend. Sherelle Terrell Markie, and Ms Tonya, I’m so sorry for your loss.
