Deepest condolences to John and family. Two people I went to school with married and became one. I am sad to see you gone so soon Rashonna, and my heart breaks for John, the kids and all family and friends. I will always remember your beautiful singing voice. May God keep the family, and provide all with the strength needed at this time.

Thanks for all those times of doing my hair and painting my fingernails when I was younger. I loved when me and mama picked you up from school on Fridays and you didn’t know that I was in the car. Your face lit up when you seen me and gave me a big hug and kiss. Also thanks for kicking me out of your room when you came home from college but when you left, I was back in here again!!! I’m gonna miss you big sis. Love you.

Rest in paradise, little sister. You will be missed but never forgotten! I have been sending prayers of support, healing and peace to you, your husband, children, your mother and step-father and all other siblings and extended family since I learned of your battle with myeloma. My heart remains broken, but as a man of faith, I know that you now have your crown(The Crown of Life --James 1:12; Revelation 2:10)and mansion (John 14:2-6 "In My Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you")with our heavenly Father. Through your children, you will live on forever! With love--your brother Mike.

My heart goes out to your family, and especially your children...

In loving memory of Rashonna
