This is a picture of my big bro, Lonnie Banks Jr. He died on Sunday, Aug. 10, 2008, over something he had no control over. He was the sweetest person whom I loved dearly. I just wish that one day we could all stop this gun violence and just live life the right way by faith. RIP Lonnie Banks Jr. 6/4/88 -- 8/10/08 Love you forever and always Your lil sis, Shannan Allen ( Photo submitted by Shannan Allen )
