Loving a person is hard and it’s easy to fall.
You want all the time with them you just can’t have it.
Enjoy the love while it last. Just because you can't see them or hear them
Doesn’t mean they are not there. They are here, they live through you
~Jaliyah & Jeremiah

Jaliyah and Jeremiah were granted peace on August 8-9, 2021. They
were surrounded by the ones that loved them.
Jaliyah was born July 27, 2000 in Chicago IL at Mercy Hospital to Lano-
ra Bryant and Juquel Johnson. She attended Springfield High School and
yes, as y’all already know, she was the best volleyball player ever. She
even helped coach younger players. At the age of 17, she got her first job
at Burger King and over time she worked on becoming a CNA.
Jaliyah had a beautiful soul, a loving heart and forgave all. She lived for
her babies, every last one of them. She never gave up even when times got
hard. If you ever wanted somebody to lean on, she was the one to call.
Jaliyah was baptized in 2011 at Pentecostal Church where she gave her life to Christ. She praise
danced and sang in the choir.
Jaliyah is preceded in death by her grandparents, Angela Johnson and Leo Johnson. Her baby
that joins her on her journey is Jeremiah Zayarie Brown.
Jeremiah was born on March 23, 2021 in Springfield, IL at Memorial Medical Center to Jaliyah
Johnson and Josh Brown. Although his life was not as long as we expected it to be, he brought
joy into our lives. Jeremiah, you gave us hope, brought laughter, but most of all you were strong
and brave. You knew your mother shouldn’t die alone.
Jaliyah is remembered by: Her children, Joshua Ahmad Brown Jr. “Bump”, Joselyn Marie Brown
“MaMa”, Joesph Authur Brown “JoeJoe” and Jahleel Leo Malik Brown “Leel”; mother, Lanora
Bryant “Motherrr”; father, Juquel Johnson; sisters, Jaquisha “Squishie”, Jada “Lil Jelly”, Leeai-
ra “BoomBoom”, Laila “Mini moo” and London “London Bridges”; aunts, Beth, Dominique,
Paris, Denisha, Jasmine and Carmalita; uncle, Leo Johnson Jr.; cousins, Que' do, Brielle, Que' do
III, Khalil, Hakeem, Khamora, Ethan, Khameya, Jaylah, Jamiyah, Jamilla, Nolan, Perrion, Paxton,
Paysely, Breana, Traequan and host of other cousins, aunts, family and friends.
When we lose a loved one our world just falls apart. We think we can’t carry on with this
broken heart. Everything is different now you’re so upset and you’re annoyed. Your world it
seems is shattered there’s such an awful void. There’s got to be a reason and we have to
understand. God made us and at any time hell reaches down for our hand.
There might not be a warning we won’t know where or when. The only thing we’re
certain of is we’ll meet them once again.
~Jaliyah & Jeremiah
I wish I could see you one more time, come walking through the door.
But I know that is impossible,
I will hear your voice no more. I know you can feel my tears and you don’t want me to cry.
Yet my heart is broken because I can’t understand why someone so
precious had to die. I pray that God will give me strength and
somehow get me through, as I struggle with the heartache
that came when I lost you.
~Love, your mom
There are no tears in Heaven nor grief of any kind. I leave this final teardrop to those
I’ve left behind. Though absent from the body, I’m present with the Lord.
The joy of my salvation is now my full reward.
