To the Alexander Family,
Lakeshia and I were good friends in middle and high school. She was the sweetest person. She made me laugh everyday that we hung together. I am still in disbelief. I know the God has a plan, even though we are here to endure the pain, he will heal or hearts over time. I will never meet another person who was as cool as she. I will forever miss her and keep her spirit alive with me. I will miss you Keshia!!!

To the family of Lakeshia Alexander,
It has been a long time since I have seen or talked to Keshia. However, we were great friends back in elementary school at John B. Cary and I will always treasure the memories we have with each other. Spending the night at each others house and just having fun at recess.
Please know that your child has made an impact on so many people's lives in this short time of her being here.
This is a friendship I will always cherish. I regret I am not available to attend the funeral, but I and Keshia will be there in spirit.
Peace & Blessing,
Noelle Cook

May God grant you the serenity to accept the things you cannot change. Courage to change the things you can, and the wisdom to know the difference. We have truly lost a light and a bundle of energy. Her friendship was dear to me. Our conversations where always deeper than intended and her smile was infectious. You have my deepest sympathy during your time of sorrow.

To Uncle Cecil, Aunt Darlene, and Marnae:
I am praying for you all and that GOD is able to comfort you through this difficult time. I honestly feel as if I lost a childhood sister and she will be greatly missed. Keshia was a dear friend and I am glad to be able to call her a friend/cousin.
I recall the many sleepovers, trips, and summer breaks when she and I hung tight. Those are memories that I will always cherish. I love you all.

To one of my friends from elementary, middle and high school... I am still in a stage of disbelief and shock, however I know my God will take much better care of you in Heaven than I couldve down here on Earth... I sat back and thought of all the good times we shared.... Girl, you, Crystal T, and I were the best of friends. We just had a talk about us at my sleepover in elementary school and how much fun we had baking 10 birthday cakes (even when I got in trouble at my own party)... Those were the good ol' days. That memory among a lot others will forever comfort me and you will live in our memories and in my heart... I love you Keshia...
To Mr. and Mrs. Alexander and Marnae, I know it hasn't been easy but if you serve the God I serve, He'll wipe the tears from your eyes, comfort you when you feel alone, soothe you when u feel uneasy and protect your from all harm. Putting Him first will always make things all better... I loved your daughter as a sister since the first time we met back in 1st grade. You all did a wonderful job raising her and dont ever doubt that... She was a joy to be around and truly a good friend...one that will be dearly missed. I thank God for blessing you both with such an angel and sharing her with me during her time here... Although she's gone, she is NEVER forgotten... I love you all...
