Sarah came in to my life when I was seven years old. She was with us all time, as if she was apart of our family. From that moment on, I grew up knowing her as my sister. I remember when Sarah and Jerome started dating, they were crazy about each other, they even ditched each other's prom dates to end their night with each other. As a young girl, I thought this was extremely romantic! For twenty years, Jerome and Sarah stood as strong role models for me on how to have a lasting relationship. And today, I am married to the love of my life who Jerome asked to be The Godfather to their youngest, Emma and I am the godmother to Gabby. What a blessing and honor that is for me and Sean! Jerome was devoted to Sarah and his children. He did everything for them and protected his family. He always put God first in his life, Sarah, and his children. This is a hard road to follow as there are always distractions in life but as faithful servants they never resisted God's will for them. I am grateful for Jerome being the big brother I never had, for saying "yes" when we asked him to be The Godfather to our son Michael, and for being the man he was to my sister and such a loving father to their children. Sean and I will
keep Jerome's memory alive in our home and use his life as an example for Michael, when teaching him how to become a man of faith. We are eternally grateful that God blessed us with you, Jerome. Till we meet again.
