I remember when Laila and Miya met and they hit it off right away. I was hoping they would see each other again. Cousin, you may never get over losing your child, but God will surely help you get through it. I love you all and I'm praying for you.

Extending my prayers to Darrell, Kim, Buke, Derrien, Jakaila, Kesia, Jon, & Family. May God wrap his loving arms around your family giving you peace that surpasses thine own understanding. It was a joy to watch D'Miya grow from a little girl in Greater Mt. Zion to a beautiful little lady so full of life. When the choir would sing she would stand up, clap her hands, & sing with them. D'Miya was so sweet everytime you saw her in church with her Grandmother Mrs. Phyllis she was always smiling. To the family, everyone loved D'Miya but the Lord loved her best. He picked this precoius little girl to become a loving angel in heaven to watch over her family. R.I.H D'MIYA❤😇❤😇❤TaKeitha Morgan

Loving, Kind, Sweet, Campassionate are just a few words to describe D'Miya. She was one of the most loving students I knew. My most fondiest memory of D'Miya was days when she would sit in the back office, hide from me and wait for her mom to pick her up. (lol) We often met at the salon to get "get pretty" for the week. She will always be in my heart. I am praying for your family. ~Veatrice Thomas, Principal at Ridgecrest Elementary School

D'Miya was one of the sweetest babies that I have ever met. She would come to my office and say "My mom is coming to get me. Can I stay up here with you." I would say "Yes Miya but stay in the back so Mrs. Thomas won't see you!" lol She had a smile that would light up any room especially at Ridgecrest! She will forever be loved, and missed. Sending Prayers, Love, and Peace to you all! Love, Kenyetta Gosha

Our love, sorrow, condolences, and prayers to the family. With Love, The Staffords

Please accept my condolences for your loss. I wish you peace and comfort.

D'Miya was in my third grade reading class. I will never forget seeing her read a chapter book while at a CHS football game. She was always such a hard worker and an excellent student.

I am so sad this will not continue. Sweet D'Miya is forever more an angel looking over us. I love you andI will miss your beautiful face! Mrs. Williamsoncq
