Julian Theodore "JT" Pope, Jr. and Julianna Ty'Shae Pope, age 2 of Springfield, went to be with the Lord hand in hand with their siblings on December 12, 2016.
JT and Julianna were born on August 23, 2014 to their parents Julion Pope and Brittany Crayton. Born twins they were as different as day and night. Julianna was the "boss" and JT was the caregiver. The twins loved to chase Julianna as she drove around the yard in her red car. They both enjoyed listening to music and dancing and carrying around their little Chihuahua Sazzy.
Julianna was born five minutes before JT. William Shakespeare said it best "Though she be little, she is fierce." Even though she was the smallest she could keep up with all the older children. She was the "track star", to catch her you would have to run because she was quick! She was Tyree's "Hip Baby" from day one. If she wasn't running around she was dancing, she will forever be known as the "Dancing Queen"
JT was born the biggest, and with that came a heart bigger than anyone could imagine. He was laid back and enjoyed talking to anyone that would listen. He brought a smile to everyone's heart by just hearing him laugh. He was his mama shadow and the apple for his daddy's eye. When heard one of his parents say "Load Up" he knew he was in for a treat. JT loved to ride around exploring new places. He enjoyed watching cars and wrestling with his older brothers, and will forever be known as Sazzy's Protector.
"Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to them."-Matthew 19:14
