SINCE TOMORROW NEVER CAME
JA’QUAVIAS DALOYD HENDERSON August 1, 1999 - November 9, 2011
If I knew it would be the last time that I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly, and pray the Lord your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I’d see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for just one more. If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would tape each word and ac- tion, and play them back throughout my days. If I knew it would be the last time, I would spare an extra minute or two to stop and say “I love you,” instead of assuming you know I do.
So, just in case tomorrow never comes, and today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you and I hope we never will for- get, tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, and today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So, if you’re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you’ll surely regret the day, that you didn’t take the extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss, and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their last wish. So, hold your loved ones close today, and whis- per in their ear, that you love them very much and you’ll always hold them dear. Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me”, “Thank you”, or “It’s okay”, and if tomorrow never comes, you’ll have no regrets about today. ~ Norma Cornett Marek ~
I miss and love you. Mom.

White Memphis Officer Cleared In Shooting Of Black Teen
MEMPHIS — A white police officer was cleared by a grand jury Tuesday in the fatal shoot- ing of a 19-year-old black man during a fight at a traffic stop, but a lawyer for the man's family says he will seek a federal civil rights investigation. Jurors re- jected Shelby County District Atty. Amy Weirich's recom- mendation that they indict the officer on charges of voluntary manslaughter and employment of a firearm during the commis- sion of a dangerous felony, Weirich said. Weirich refused to elaborate on what led her to make her recommendation.
Police have said previously that Darrius Stewart was a passenger in a car stopped by the officer July 17 for a headlight violation. Stewart was placed in the back of a squad car without

handcuffs as the officer checked on active warrants for him, au- thorities said.
Officer Connor Schilling returned to the squad car to ar- rest and handcuff Stewart after a warrant was verified, and Stewart kicked the door and at- tacked the officer, beating Schilling with the handcuffs,

police said.
Schilling shot Stewart with
his duty weapon during the struggle, police said. Stewart died of two gunshot wounds at a hospital, a medical examiner found. Schilling had been re- lieved of duty — a routine proce- dure — pending the outcome of the investigation.
Tarantino Refuses To Apologize For Anti-Cop Comments
Quentin Tarantino offered nothing even close to an apology on Tuesday for calling cops “murderers” — and instead pa- thetically claimed he has been victimized by police unions.
“Pulp Fiction” ¬director in- sisted his words were all taken out of context.
“All cops are not murderers,” Tarantino told the Los Ange- les Times. “I never said that. I never even implied that.
“What they’re doing is pretty obvious. Instead of dealing with the incidents of police brutality that those people were bringing up, instead of examining the problem of police brutality in this country, better they single me out. And their message is very clear. It’s to shut me down. It’s to discredit me. It is to in- timidate me. It is to shut my mouth and, even more impor- tant than that, it is to send a message out to any other promi- nent person that might feel the need to join that side of the ar- gument.”

At the rally against “police terror,” Tarantino said, “When I see murders, I do not stand by ... I have to call a murder a mur- der and I have to call the mur- derers the murderers.”
The 52-year-old filmmaker
also told the LA Times that he won’t back down in the face of a threatened boycott of his new movie “The Hateful Eight,” to be released Christmas Day.
“I’m not being intimidated,” Tarantino said. “Frankly, it feels lousy to have a bunch of police mouthpieces call me a cop hater. I’m not a cop hater. That is a misrepresentation. That is slanderous. That is not how I feel.
“But you know, that’s their choice to do that to me,” he con- tinued. “What can I do? I’m not taking back what I said. What I said was the truth. I’m used to people misrepresenting me; I’m used to being misunderstood. What I’d like to think [is] their attack against me is so vicious that they’re revealing them- selves. They’re hiding in plain sight.”
James Pasco, executive di- rector of the Fraternal Order of Police, is promising a “surprise” act of revenge at the premiere of “Hateful Eight.”

True love and don’t be blinded by the truth! We must have a season with the Psalms for reconciliation and restoration, for God’s mercies are great. Jeremiah and Ja’Quavias say they love you, too. Remember the good times!
