Dear James, my cousin recently passed away on August 8th, 2006.

He was shot at a nightclub in Philadelphia on July 23rd, and was unconscious in the hospital for two weeks.

My family then had the hospital amputate his leg in order to prevent an infection from spreading through his body and in hopes of him having a chance of living.

If he has anything to say to me "Gabo" or to my brother "Danny" or my mother "Nelsy" it would mean soooo much. Especially for my mother since she hasn't been dealing very well with his sudden death.

He was 30 years old and my mother has raised him since he was born, so you can imagine how close she was to him. Any message that you can give me from him if possible would mean so much to me. Thanks.

Hi Gabo, coolershaker music, smoking, laughing, and some of the things he said or the names he called people - something like Paddy's.

Its a shame as this guy seems to be quite outgoing, I don't even feel like he would hurt anyone.

I am drawn to his head (the front part) as I try and link into him. He has just called me Jimmy or he is saying Jimmy.

I feel he took a lot of stuff on the chin and said "that's life man". He said if I am not through in six months I am not coming. Don't know if any of that means anything but that's what came through.
