Sending heartfelt condolences to our families the Bess and Ramseurs. We love you! Tony and Alissa McClain

Quita, man I can't believe it! I remember getting to LMS from Costa Rica. You were in a few of my classes and were such cool stylish and always would make me laugh in class with something funny being said. Man that was 28 years ago! You fly high beautiful as high as possible. I pray that God gives your family and friends peace in their hearts. I still can't believe it but I understand that things happened and that God does things in mysterious ways. In Gods name I pray that you Rest In Peace!

From the halls of Asbury, to the halls at Massy, to LMS and LHS. To know her was to love her and to love her she was family. She was a wonderful person Inside and out. And would always tell you like it is even if you didn't like it. But all you could do was look at her and say "yep ur right". Lord , I pray, u wrap your arms around this family and her sweet children for them to get through this and days ahead. We will miss u Quita, the world will never be the same!

Jaquita had such a sweet, genuine and caring spirit. She shared this with all her colleagues at Crate and Barrel. She is greatly missed. Our Hearts and Prayers are with her children and family. ~ Adrienne A

Jaquita was my coach at Crate & Barrel. The time I spent with her was the absolute best. She was such a down to earth, caring person who went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable and knowledgeable. My condolences to her family and friends. This is absolutely heartbreaking to hear.

As everyone has already said it's hard to imagine that you're gone you had such a beautiful smile and the sweetest spirit to go along with it God makes no mistakes he really doesn't sometimes it's just hard to figure out his plan but we trust his plan you will be missed and never be forgotten ❤️‍🩹 condolences from the Benson & Johnson family Love you Tisha and To the babies Lord give them strength in the mighty name of Jesus 🙏🏽💗

Sending love and prayers to the Family and Friends of Jaquita. She was always so sweet and nice whenever I seen her. I'm sending lots of love and hugs. May she Rest In Peace!

Prayers to The Bess and Ramseur Families. I pray that God gives all of you Unconditional Love, Peace, Serenity and Understanding in this time of grief. Hold on and Stay close to each other. Rest Easy in Heavenly Peace, Jaquita Bess

Prayers and condolences to the family. Jaquita had such a warm and beautiful soul that will truly be missed.

Wow FAM this is unbelievable...I'm at a loss for words...😪😓but you're an angel now..

Our team will never be the same without Jaquita! We started at Crate and Barrel on the same day 2 years ago, and it just won't be the same in our little group without her. She will be greatly missed.

I feel like I'm dreaming little cousin! This broke my heart, you would check on me from time to time just to encourage me.your heart was so big and loving! We will truly miss you Beautiful Queen, We Love You and you will Always be in our hearts! Rest Easy♥️♥️

I can say you helped me live this life I'm living. You gave a co-sign to prove I was who JaQuita said I was. These words only a few can understand for that Thank you! I won't let you down. QB I need you to rest with the best. I miss everybody I can't talk to anymore. ❤️🥹

Since we was lil girls it's always been just the 2 of us. There was not many functions at 333 Ramseur Rd when there was no me or you together. You hurt me with this one we was suppose to take over our Aunties family duties. If you promise to hug and kiss pawpaw up there for me I promise to take care of your and my duties down here. Qb I'm going to miss you glad I got to be apart of your last few days here. SIP Love Always ~Velma~

Condolences and Prayers to The Ramseur and Bess Family

I'm really missing you already. I will never hear your voice no more. I was so blessed to have a cousin like you. You filled our lives with love, joy, & laughter. You were not just my cousin, you were my friend. That is the best of both worlds. Special memories will always bring a smile to my face. Life has shown us its hurtful side by taking you away from us & we didn't even see it coming. You will be forever in our heart. I love you ❤️

Thoughts and prayers are with the Bess and Ramsuer family. Jaquita was a beautiful person inside and out. She will be missed dearly! Angela Thomas & Antonio

I just spoke to you last Friday, we all hung out at Dre Day Celebration 2 yrs ago, your humble smile I will remember. God needed you for a special project only you could do. Take your rest Jaquita. Extended Prayers for The Bess/Ramseur Family.

This still seems so unreal to me right now. A kind, sweet, and loving angel gone to soon. Who would have known that last Saturday would have been my last time seeing you, us talking about being grandmothers, and how we loved our grand-babies. Even though you I wasn't blood related, you were my family no matter what. You are going to be truly missed on this earth, but until we meet again may you continue to Rest In Peace. My thoughts and prayers to the Bess and Ramseur family. 🙏🏾

I truly didn't know you as you were younger than me but I grew up with your older cousins. You made a huge impact on many people and most gave you your flowers while you were here on earth! My condolences to the family and friends! May God give you all the strength and guidance in the upcoming days! ❤️❤️

Bestie. I'll go ahead and be judged for this but I can't help but say it. I can't believe you left me. Like this??? You know I'm going to miss our sessions where we talk about everything and nothing simultaneously. I'm going to come out of my shell to make sure your loved ones don't miss a beat because I know you went above And beyond to make sure they were straight. Get your rest Sis. I love you beyond the moon. I need you but I truly believe He felt you needed peace and rest. Hug Bruh and Paw Paw for me. I believe you, Hood, and Bell are probably somewhere have a good ole laugh. Jokes and memories are keeping me right now because ain't no way I'm supposed to be saying goodbye to you. See you later my Friend, my Sister, my ABSOLUTE BESTEST.

We extend our heartfelt sympathy in the passing of Jaquita. May God sustain the family in times like these. We will remember the family in our prayers.🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽Morris & Wanda Cates
