"Laverne, Monique, Leslie & Ivron, How our hearts ache for you. We are thinking of all of you and pray that Jehovah give you the strength to endure. Remember, ??Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves.? (Psalm 34:18) God promises to give holy spirit to his servants.(Psalm 65:2; Luke 11:13) His holy spirit can give you the ??power beyond what is normal? to go from one day to the next. This does not mean that your pain will be eliminated, that you will no longer cry or will forget your loved one but it can make it easier to bear. You can recover. Although we cannot be there with you tomorrow, you will be in our thoughts and prayers. Love, Raymond (Junior) & Deanna Robertson "

Rick Lewis/ Varsity Assistant Wrestling Coach, Car wrote on May 22, 2010:

"Psalm 116: 15 "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones." I had the joy of coaching LaShun in the sport of wrestling at Carlisle High School. At that time, he told me of his desire to go into the field of athletic training. I will always remember him as a class young man, and I am so pleased to know that LaShun had a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. I look forward to seeing him in glory when my time comes. Rick (Brother Lew) Lewis."

"I am extremely sad to here the news, but I am elated that he knew the Lord!!! My memories of him were that he was a kind and gentle man."

Amanda (Hall) Floros/classmate wrote on May 21, 2010:

"LaShun was a great person who always knew how to put a smile on a person's face. I remember when he first came to CHS he was the only black student and it never bothered him and if anything he was the one cracking jokes about it and his southern accent. He will be greatly missed and in our hearts forever. He went home to be with the Lord where he can watch over all of us all the time till we meet again."

"??Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe* in God, believe also in me. 2In my Father??s house there are many dwelling-places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?* 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also(John 14). LaShun has left this world of oil spills and corruption for an eternal life with no pains or sorrow. Our Heavenly father will comfort his family with all the healing they need. Rev. Ron McCants "
