May 15, 2019 at 6:13 pmMy prayers and thoughts are with the Rigsby-Johnson family during this most difficult time. It was a blessing to have known Malachi as a school counselor at CWI for his 3 years there! Much love for Jonquayle and Sariryah as they grow missing their brother.

May 26, 2019 at 6:10 amI am truly sorry for your loss, what really comforted me in my time of loss is the scripture@ Revelation 21:3&4 . Which gives us the wonderful promise of God wiping out every tear from our eyes and death being no more. I hope this promise from Jehovah will truly bring your family much comfort at this time.
