R.J. came into this world under very disturbing circumstances which I won't go into and had a short, difficult life. I didn't get to spend much time with my little second cousin but I never doubted for one minute that he was in a happy, loving home and I thank God for David and Christy's ability and willingness to take him in and love as one of their own. He was put on this earth for a purpose and when that purpose had been accomplished God took him home.
