First off, I want to thank everyone for their support and kinds words/condolences for me and my family.


Jada's funeral was sad, but it was also happy. It was hard to sit there and look at her casket...It made everything sink in so much more... Her sisters, Celeste (10) and Desiree (7), spoke, and if you were there it would've broken your heart...

After people said their kind words we went to go bury her, a pray was said and then we lowered her. It was quiet all but a few sniffling noises...wait for it....her aunt TT broke down; yelling and screaming. (Don't want to be racist, but it's usually a black person that does that, and she did. Although, it was sad, it was kind of exaggerated. She kept yelling out how it was "her baby," my sister was the most composed, although she did cry...) I broke down soon after...my knees buckled and I almost fell to the ground, but my older brother Michael caught me. My best-friends, Ashley and Brittney were there along with their moms, Ricky (I don't know what to call him anymore) was there too...We all just cried...we just stood there and mourned...there was nothing else to do and there was nothing to say....

---------

I'm a tad bit upset because I had told my mom I wanted to speak at her funeral; I had so much to say, and she didn't tell my sister that I wanted to, so I didn't. My dad said I should've just gone up and said something... I don't know...maybe I should've, even if it wasn't "scheduled"... Well...they may not know what I wanted to say, but I'm sure Jada did...That's all that really matters.

I'm rather upset about the pastor and this one guy from CJ's church. All they did was talk about "God this..." and "God that..." That's wonderful, thank you for telling me things that I already knew and that didn't comfort us in anyway. It's just like, why keep repeating that God is good? I know we know and I know He knows. They couldn't have said something about Jada? (They did, but they just said how God took her and it wasn't a mistake and she'll be happy and blah, blah, blah.) I swear, even my friend (who is very religious, btw) got tired of them. I'm sorry, but I felt empty when they spoke, they were faking their demeanor. It may seem weird, but when I get a feeling from someone, I go with it and they felt fake. I'm sure their hearts were in the right place, but they didn't know how to actually show compassion and not just spew things about church and God. It just seems like the church is their crutch, not just help, but they rely on it fully. They're the kind of people that like to tell you how bad they were until they were saved and they're so proud of it they think everyone should know and praise their accomplishments; FYI: Pride is a sin. But, whatever...it's over and done with...

Btw, Jada was buried by her older brother whom died 9 years ago. She never met him, that is, until now. :]

Oh, some good news: We beat Michael Jackson on the front page of The Times
We nearly took up the whole page, he was down at the bottom, and we took up the whole page where the story was continued.



So, some douchebag hit the cable box outside of our apartment and I'm pretty sure the whole apratment complex is without cable.

I'm sad, I can't watch my cartoons now D:
Yes, I still watch cartoons

CABLE'S BACK!!!



The 4th was pretty fun for me. I had spent the night at ~RitzBrits's house with Ashley after the funeral and the dinner and, miraculously, we all were able to go to our friend Caitlyn's house for her B-day

'twas very fun. Me and ~RitzBrits haven't been able to actually hang out with Cait for a year or so now. Surprisingly, we didn't get home till 1am. Even though ~RitzBrits's mom was kind of upset about it, she didn't get into too much trouble.

So, since we're all bored with our lives and haven't really been to the mall in forever; they put in a Taco Bell , and Cait is actually off Tuesday, we're going Tuesday. We may or may not change plans, 'cause that's ~RitzBrits's mommy's B-day.



Hanging out with Wednesday and Thursday and Sunday.



Oh, and here's something else: MY BIRTHDAY IS THURSDAY
Ima be 17

Oh and then there's Blood+: The Last Vampire coming out on Friday (I just saw the preview, lol. I want to see it )

Also, if you haven't noticed, I have a Kiriban coming up
Doubt anyone will get/want it D:
Buuuuut, if you do, I'll give you a nice little sketchy/drawing or a doll (meaning I'll use a nice base to make you something ), whatever you prefer. What about a dry erase board drawing?

No one went for it *tear*

So, anyway, I decided to make a list of Kiribans Maybe once I have PVs that high, people might actually care. So, here be the list:

My aunt Michelle's friend made a memorial webpage for Jada [link] Now, if you're too far away to come to the funeral it's alright, you can send your love to us through here.

Jada just played with my hair ^-^ (9:30pm)

*Her funeral is an open one, so if you're in the area (Portage) and want to pay your respects, that's fine with me. The wake is from 12-2 and the burial is at 2. Ask for the address. *


There was someone kind enough to do a piece for Jada;

I've decided to use it at Jada's funeral this Friday as well as a piece of my own. I would actually like it if anyone else on here who wants to to add more art; I will use it all at her funeral. I mean, you don't have to, only do it if you have time and want to.


If you do decide to do it: Thank you so much It is not limited to drawings, any form of art you choose can be used.


If you don't: I don't care, most of you helped throughout the whole ordeal


Gawd, it sounds like I'm pimping for art D:

Now, I don't know if you've heard or not, but there is a little girl; a baby girl, named Marissa that needs your help. She has Infantile Spasms, a rare disorder that is very costly to treat; $5000 for one dose!

There is far more information in 's journal here: [link] and in 's journal here: [link]

I myself want to help, but most likely won't be able to do anything until after Jada's funeral. Once everything is sorted with my family I'll try my hardest to help.

Jada was not abducted at the gas station as we were once told. Everything my cousin, Engelica, had said about her being taken was a lie.

I warn you now that it is truly a horrible thing that I am going to tell you.

]=======[

First off, Jada had just been learning how to use the bathroom. She was just in the beginning of learning how to be potty trained.

Apparently, Jada had had an accident and Engelica had gotten pissed off and spanked her; she hit her and pulled her hair. At some point it caused Jada to fall over and hit her head on a table causing a scratch. Engelica had then put her in a corner, but Jada started acting up and so she started to hit Jada in the head with her knuckles. After some time they took her and left to go get some heroin (around 7pm), but then realized she wasn't breathing; Tim allegedly tried CPR and when that didn't work, Engelica tried and then she screamed and cried. They went back home, Tim covered her with a car cover and went to Chicago and to get the heroin. When they returned home (around 9:30-10pm), they thought she was breathing and brought her inside and Engelica tried CPR. Tim put Jada in three garbage bags, put her in their basement, and they both went to bed.

The next day around 3:30pm, Tim got the idea to burn her body and went downstairs to get her. They put Jada in the back of his Tahoe, went to Menard's for what they would need, and then drove off to find a spot to burn her. They found a spot off of the highway, found a hole, put gasoline and charcoal in the hole, and put Jada's body in there. Tim then threw in charcoal doused in gasoline, which caused an explosion that burned his upper body; mostly his arms and Engelica screamed. It hadn't worked, it had only burnt the garbage bags. They then left her in the hole and went back to Hobart.

The next day (around 7:30am), they went back there, Westville, to pick up Jada's body and put her in new garbage bags. The went to Menard's in Merrillville and bought four bags of concrete and a large blue tub. They went home, put concrete in the tub, out Jada in and then covered her in concrete. When it was dried they went back to the same place, went to the swamp, cut away the tub and put her in and she sank to the bottom. They went back home, did some heroin and went to sleep. And the next day Tim came up with the story that she was abducted.


This is an actual document about her case about what happened: [link]

*They are in prison already. There is no bond for either of them. I'm not sure how long they were charged with; 65 years, I think.

]=======[

I...I really don't know what my opinion is on Engelica and Tim... I think that maybe I should hate them...but I think I just feel betrayed and sad...and sickened and disgusted... I'm in disbelief; it's surreal. I just don't want anything to do with them...

Now, my feelings on Jada...I'm obviously sad, but I will fight off being depressed. I know Jada wouldn't want that, she was always happy and I'll try to be happy, but when I am sad I will go to someone for help and we'll just talk about the good things that have had and are happening. As Jada's older sister, Celeste, said; "Jada isn't gone, she's still with us; she's in our hearts. And we'll meet her again in Heaven." and she is and we will :'3 It may seem like forever until then, but there will be happy memories after this and we'll always have the ones we had with her until then. Jada brought many people together and she warmed many people's hearts. I'll remember her for her and not how she died; of course I'll think about it, but it's not what I'll remember about her.

Jada's at home with the angels and we'll see her again one day.

P.S. My dad saw Jada twice in the kitchen and I saw her in the same area not too long ago

This is not a joke! My family and I really need your help!

Info on my sister and the rest of our family: [link] This is mostly about my opinions on the whole situation and any articles I don't like >.>

Article: [link] [link]


News Video: [link]

Please, if you make a journal with this just put the gist of what is going on; that my niece is missing, and a link to my journal. Many of you keep putting Louisiana. If you read my entry correctly it says the corner of Louisiana and Ridge Rd., it says nothing of it being in Louisiana.

---------

Her name is Jada Justice; she also goes by JJ, she's 2-years-old and around 3ft tall. She was last seen at Glen Park Gas on the corner of Louisiana and Ridge Rd. around the Gary/Hobart/Portage area in Indiana. She went missing around 10pm Tuesday (June 16).

She was wearing a multi-colored outfit with a matching skirt and jacket, she had a white tank top and sandals and was wearing purple underwear.

If you have any information please call, text, email, myspace, twitter, or whatever.

There are fliers posted and there may be more information on the news.
Her picture [link] Video: [link]
PUT HER PICTURE IN YOUR FAVES
We're going to try to get it under most popular/viewed and that'll help get the word out.


---------------------


UPDATE1
Channel 6 already aired their information on my niece and Channel 9 will be doing their part in a minute. Please watch if you are in the area; Illinois-Indiana.


UPDATE2
The story: My niece was being watched by my cousin. My cousin went to the gas station to pick up milk and cigarettes; they checked for both and she had neither.

We hope it's just a hoax and not that she's really kidnapped.

They passed out fliers in the area and the FBI and US Marshal are involved.


UPDATE3
Anyone who has information is asked to call the F.B.I. hotline at 317-639-3301, or the Gary police (219) 881-1201 or the Hobart police 219-942-1125, or just 911.

Please repost this everywhere, even if you don't live in the area, maybe someone you know does or knows something. We need all the help we can get! We have absolutely no information; there are no leads, nothing.


UPDATE4
My brother and I were in 3 interviews from around 5-7am. We were on Channel 32, 5 and 7; I think and I think they're going to repeat some of them. We were on Channel 32 live at 6. Until then shit about the Jonas Brothers and the Olympics and important things about Iran.


UPDATE5
If you have her just give her back. We don't care about what you want, we;ll give it to you; no questions asked. We just want her back unharmed.


Jada, baby, we love you and miss you. We hope you come back safe and sound as happy and as sweet and dorky as you've ever been.


UPDATE6
Really? They could put up something far more important than kids cheating with their damn cellphones; more missing kids, things in Iran, even the damn Olympics or the guy with the bionic eye! That's so great, now everyone knows that teenagers are cheating with their cellphones -_- Freakin' idiots.


UPDATE7
I'm so tired, I'm gonna try and take a nap. I'll be in a phone interview with Fox in a couple of hours.


UPDATE8(2am June 19th)
There have still been no leads. We have no idea what's going on. My family and I are going to go pass out fliers later today. UPDATE(noon) going now


UPDATE9(5pm June 19th)
I was told that if you have any information; if you've possibly seen her or anything that you should call 1-800-CALL-FBI

I was on an interview earlier today at the gas station again. I looked like shit; plain and simple, and that's how I feel.

We passed out fliers for hours. There were people who would just pass us up because they thought we wanted money or something while others just passed by because they didn't want one and there were the few that already had one or a stack. It was mortifying to see these people just passing us by as we stood in the middle of the street trying to get anyone to help us.

There have been three "leads," but we don't know what to do; what to believe. There was one where someone said they saw her with a Hispanic couple. A woman who worked there had the gal to take down my niece's flier because she decided that Jada had been found. Oh, yes, 'cause none of the family said anything and there was no breaking news or anything... I don't like people...I have many reasons, as you can tell.

Another possible sighting was by this man who said he may have seen Jada in the car with a white man.

And the other one was that someone said that they saw her with a woman getting on a bus saying she was her cousin.


I don't know what to believe....I don't even know if any of these are true, I just hope we find something...anything...


UPDATE10(8:33am June 20th)
As of now, there is nothing new on Jada. I won't be passing out fliers today; I'll be going to my friend's birthday party. My mom and anybody else who's free will be searching for her and passing out fliers at noon.

If they find anything, I'll be sure to let everyone know.

UPDATE11
Thanks to whywhatshutup's advice I made a Facebook group for her [link] If you have a Facebook, join.

UPDATE12(1:00pm)
I made a news article on here. It just links back to here.

UPDATE13 (9:30am)
Alright, so last night my mom told me that there had been 10 confirmed sightings of Jada in the same area. They said the same thing about the area; how they saw her outside playing. So, she seems to be okay and I'm hoping we can go there and that they actually do have her

I want to get excited, but then again, I don't.... Right now I'm just going to keep my cool and if they really do find her, I'll freak out then


UPDATE (10:44am)
Courtesy of The Hammond Times GARY | As the search for Jada Justice reaches its seventh day, family and friends of the 2-year-old Portage toddler haven't lost hope they will see her again.

Volunteers went door to door Monday handing out fliers explaining Jada's disappearance. The child's family also increased a reward they are offering to anyone providing information that will lead to Jada's return to $10,000.

Jada has been missing since June 16, when her baby sitter -- and cousin -- Engelica Castillo said Jada was taken from the Glen Park Gas station at the Louisiana Street and Ridge Road intersection in Gary.

Volunteers tied a pink ribbon on a pole or tree at the end of each block they visited so people didn't hit the same area twice.

Melissa Swiontek, Jada's mother, said the group didn't limit the area it would travel so some people also went into Hobart and Portage to distribute the fliers.

"You can go as far as you want to go," Swiontek said to the volunteers.

Standing near coolers full of bottled water for the volunteers, Jada's father, Clarence Justice, said he was thrilled with the amount of support the family has received in the search for Jada.

"It's a beautiful thing," he said.

Lake County Prosecutor Bernard Carter said Monday the investigation is continuing. Carter and staff members met with representatives of the U.S. attorney's office, the FBI and the Hobart and Gary police departments.

Justice said he plans to come back to the Gary gas station every day to continue to inform people about his missing child.

"I'll keep doing that until Jada comes back," he said.

UPDATE14
I've been watching her siblings for the past couple of days and I'm not involved in the search recently because of it.

FINAL UPDATE
I'm sure many of you have heard what happened...
We found our Jada, but it was too late.
She's gone home to the angels.

[link] Very nice website, really cute things. I think a lot of you should go and add and/or get adoptables if you have the time ^-^
Oh, and on my profile click the first Kee; I accidently kept hitting resend data ^-^;




Uuuum, sooooo, I haven't been drawing much of anything lately. A lot of my drawings are in boxes somewhere, some of the files were lost on my laptop, I lost a few flashdrives with info on them; found one, but didn't have anything really important on it.


Alright, so there was some stuff I had done, but I have to restart them 'cause I either didn't like them or lost them...they may have even run off to parts unknown... In any case, I kind of have a bad case of artist's block...more like occasional doodler's block, amirite?


Alright, good news about anything I might need to upload: I have a steady internet connection, I have a new printer/scanner and I finally decided to download an art program. Okay, since I have a printer/scanner I'll be able to print the memes I've been wanting to do since forever and any work I do decide I like I can now upload. Oh, even though I have an art program it doesn't mean there will be any digital work; there is no such thing as digital work for me >.< I may try dabbling in coloring some of my pictures on there, though. It's a simple program, nothing fancy, at all...I only downloaded it because it gives me the multiple layer option xD


So, um...yeah...I want to do art trades, I really do...It'll help me with my artist's block; I just can't think of what to draw, it's not that I can't. I...I don't do art trades 'cause no one loves me


But...but, um, if you really want to I will...I'm actually redoing one that I was supposed to finish a long time ago; I was moving, lost the internet, had no scanner, and failed at the time


Um...Um...Yeah...I really want to do some art trades...please? :<
I don't want to really set a limit, 'cause I doubt anyone reads this and/or cares, but, just in case, it's five people.
