              madness. I also believe he became a womanizer to cover up being a

              down-low brother.

                  It all began to make sense. He would always date young girls with

              whom he could flash his company credit card and the flashy cars, and

              they  would  be  impressed.  I  recall  telling  him  to  not  destroy  these
              young women’s lives. He rarely dated women of his age. Although he
              did marry while at CGS, it only lasted six months. She was a sister who

              had  fallen  under  his  craziness.  She  felt  the  clock  ticking  and  just

              wanted to get married and have a baby. She would tell me how she
              had pulled a gun on Jerome after a heated argument. She said she had

              locked herself in the bathroom and prayed to God to give her strength.
              Ironically, after they separated, she became pregnant by another man.

              She broke up with the baby’s daddy after she informed him of the
              pregnancy.  Jerome  stepped  back  into  her  life  and  began  to  act  as

              though he was the baby’s daddy. CRAZY. At her baby shower, he
              made  a  grand  entrance  and  all  the  women  at  the  shower  were

              congratulating both of them. It was so wild. He was the only man
              present, and, of course, he was taking the attention away from the

              mommy-to-be. Everyone was caught up in the madness.

                  At the same time as he was acting like the proud father-to-be, he

              was also dating a young girl who had been a barber at Tyrone’s Barber

              Shop. My sister Jewel’s Diamond Taylor quotes “Desperation is like a
              perfume” was so ever true. Both of these women tied themselves to

              CRAZY to the point where the young girl went to the hospital with
              Jerome when he went to be with his wife in the delivery room. The
