Antonio, my prayers are with you and your entire family.
Mrs. French was loved and respected by all of us. She helped those of us who came into “the game” over the last 10 years understand so much of what we were getting into. She has been missed already . . .
Your friend in the cause of justice, Curtis

Hard to hear Antonio. Back in 2003, both my grandparents died within a month of each other, and right before my graduation. I understand your grief while my thoughts are with you and your family.

Antonio, may the Creator and the ancestors hold you and yours in a warm and comforting embrace as we celebrate the life and legacy of your beloved grandmother Myrtle French.
She represents the best example of self-determination and community empowerment. Her journey through history should be acknowledged as a lesson for us all in how to galvanize a people and move forward in substantial progress.
Know that you are not alone and that we love and support you without reservation. Together we will win!
