Hey Cousin, I can´t believe you would be 54. Can you? But, being a logical thinker that were, you would simply say yes I can cousin Marsha. I miss you, but you already know that. Continue resting peacefully.

Iyisa, I think of you often. I look forward to seeing you when the time comes. I must make a confession. I really thought I had sent this last week. But then you already know that. Mom.

Happy Birthday beautiful you would have hit the big "53" today. I am starting to think you wanted to be remembered as forever young. I do miss you and growing old as good friends would have been a good thing. I hope you are enjoying those wings.
Always and Forever.

Hi Lyisa,
It´s been a really long time since I´ve seen you. I remember thinking you were Zoe´s sister because to me you looked so young and beautiful. You were so kind to me and played Lego´s with me and I will never forget that. I hope you´re resting well and are at peace my love. Wishing well on you and your loved ones. Happy early birthday !

Hi, Iyisa,
Another year of missing you, but knowing that you "surrounded by a great company" of friends and family. You must be so proud of Zoe and her achievements. She has taken the skills you taught her to new heights. Hmmm, but then you already know that (smile). While I'm here I want to thank Terry for his steadfastness all these years. As always, Mom

I think of you, and what you mean to me. I will never stop thinking of you and only wish you would have talked to me before. I was blessed to have known you from before your 14th birthday and only recently realized we first met over two years before. It was an unusual beginning to our friendship, but it was destined to become something beautiful and special. Love Always

You would have turned 50 today, and hopefully, I would have been able to celebrate it with you. I still think of you often and imagine what might have been. I do now and will always miss you, think of you, and love you, even though life keeps moving forward and evolves. It has been a decade since you have passed away and a part of me died with you I can't continue to do this. We will see each other again and enjoy being together but reopening wounds is not helpful or healthy. So goodbye for now.
Love Always.

I think of you often. You would be very proud of Zoe. She is a good and strong person. It was a pleasure to visit the three of them Liz, Kyra and Zoe during the Christmas season.
Time goes so fast.
February is a special month for me.
My mother - Izona Hicks - died February 8, 1980
My father -Walter Hicks - died February 25, 1964
And you my niece -Iyisa died-February 8th.
I know that I will see all of you again one day.

Hi, Iyisa,
I've been thinking about you all day. I just put some pictures of you on my Facebook page.
Though you are away, you're rarely far from my thoughts. Your "spitting image"... you would be so proud of her. Like your Herself, she has her Basil. Hmmm, but you know that.
....and she has taken your needlepoint skill to higher heights!
I'll see you when I do.
As always,

Hi Iyisa,
Hard to believe that you would be 49 years old this year! You're missed very much. Your daughter, Zoe, is doing very well. She is getting ready to graduate from college and she is making all of us very proud! Our sister, Kyra, has been doing a wonderful job watching after her all these many years. We're very proud of the work and creativity that Zoe has been showing with her studies and her business. Anyhow, I just want you to know that you're missed very much. I wish that you and Charles and Dad were all still here...
I love you,
Wayne, Jr.

Cousin,
Time has passed so quickly. It seems like yesterday when you were giving birth to Zoe and now, she has moved away from home, attends college, and best of all she is a true ARTIST in every since of the word. I know you are proud of her as I am. I know that your BIRTHDAY had to be the merriest because God wanted it that way!
I smiled this morning when I thought of all the folks that are with you and Bijan and then I just kept smiling. Embracing you with my mind!

October 3, 2013
Happy Birthday Beautiful! I know you must have great pride for your baby. She has become a lovely young lady. Your family is doing a great job with her. You are still alive through her, a form of immortality a parent gain through their children. She is your living legacy. I wish her the best, brightest, and happiest future possible. Keep watching over her and the rest of your family. You are forever in their hearts as you are in mine.
Love Always.

Hi, Iyisa... Remembering you on your 43rd birthday!! I miss you, but I am comforted knowing that you have so much family with you. Say "Hello" from me to your Dad, Charles, your grandparents,
Uncle Ben, and your many Jones cousins, Bijan, Michael (remember he would come over and make cakes for all of you), Maria, Sylvanus, Dante... oh, and to my oldest cousin (Tell him i said so), Uncle Ben! Zoe is fine. Looking forward to seeing her in December. I was just thinking...your daughter in school in Alexandria...hmm, what a plan!
Take care. I'll see you when I do.
August 26, 2013
Hi, Iyisa. You probably already know, Zoe started NoVA last Wednesday. I smile when I think of the location..."What goes around..." I know she will make you proud. Bijan came up there on August 5th. Please say, "Hi," to him from me. Love ya! Mom
June 2, 2013
Iyisa, Zoe graduated from Hamilton HS this past Wednesday. The ceremony was in the Shrine Auditorium. You would be so proud.
February 8, 2013

Her needlepoint is every bit as exquisite as yours was.

Hey Cousin, Missing you but I feel your essence in Zoe. You would be super proud of her! She is articulate, has a razor sharp wit,she's a good writer, and can deliver lines (the play) like no body's business! Be proud because I am! Miss our special moments...
October 3, 2012
I had a dream of the first time we met, biology with Miss Baker. It was so vivid, as if I was living it again. I knew I was dreaming but it seamed so real. You captivated me that instant. You will never be forgotten. Love always.
September 1, 2012
Hi, Iyisa...Today I told Zoe how, as a teen, you taught me to check packaged cheese slices to see if the label actually said "Cheese" and not "Cheese Product". I think often of how we used to do the marketing. You start on one side of the store and I on the other, meet in the middle and go to the check stand. I miss you, but I know "IT IS WELL" with your soul. As always, Mom

I remember our last visit as if it was yesterday. She was visiting from San Diego and brought Zoe along to say hello to her friends at her old Los Angeles office.
After hearing sooo much about Zoe I finally met her and yes, Zoe's the spitting image of Iyisa.
I kept some of our emails and still read them from time to time. Life is definitely too short. I still miss that girl.
Take care family,

Hi, Iyisa,
Today, Valentine's Day, is the first anniversary of the Celebration of your life. A few days ago I read through your legacy here. I am so very proud of you! Of course, I miss knowing you are here, but you are enjoying a new eternal life now and I rejoice with you!
I just dropped Zoe off at the bus pick-up. Today also marks the beginning of a new semester for her.
She misses you so. You have given her a legacy of determination and a sharp mind. With love and fervent prayer, I know her joy will "come in the morning." Mom

Iyisa,
I have missed you soooooo much. I'm not ready for this. I just didn't want this to be true. You know my heart sunk. I saw that picture and it was you. The hair girl, the hair. so much of it. The older I got the more I liked mine wild too. I never thought I would chop mine off the way you did. I remember now looking at the photo of you and your dad. but I did. Not to mention twice.
Say it isn't so. How can it? I'm two months too late. It feels like a cruel joke. I still have your gifts you made for me. They have been on every dresser I have ever owned, girl. So thoughtful! I have and will always treasure them. I hope you knew how much of good friend you were to me. you were so smart and had so much to offer. I will try to find **** incase he doesn't know. He always loved you, you know,(I know you know) and wanted the best for you! I love you too. yeah, It was a long time ago; nevertheless, they were our times, our good old days. we had good moments. I know you would not have forgotten them.
Looks like you got on that bike girl. I have always wanted too but never did. Maybe I will. If I do, I will think of you and if i don't I will think of you just as I have over the years. I love you! You have never been forgotten!!!You will never be forgotten!!!! I just want to go on and on and on ..................................................................This year would have been another mild stone for us. The big 40. I am always consious to the years. I don't think I'm going to worry about it anymore..
************************************************************************
Mr and Mrs. Hicks,
Pls. accept my sincere condolence. I remember how you would ans. the phone when I would call to speak with Iyisa. I always thought it was so cute so original just like Iyisa. I know Iyisa was loved greatly by her family. I could tell even then at that young age, thinking of it now. At the time, I didn't really realize that that's what it (love) was. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to call her friend. Thanks for the guest book.

Zoe, Liz, Wayne and Kyra...We all know that God does not make mistakes. He allowed Iyisa to be with us for a short while to gather memories to last us until we see her again. As I type this I am smiling at the memory of Iysia in the hospital having Zoe. May God bless and keep you as His angels watch over you. Love your cousins, Marsha, Manochehr, Samantha, Ea, and Bijan Shoushtari.

Hicks Family,
I am sending you my deepest condolences for your loss and this prayer...
Lord, God of Life, you have called to your side a very dear and unforgettable person, whose passing away left a great emptiness in us. There are those who are lost in sorrow. I lift my prayer to you, God of Consolation, asking you to send comfort and help to the mourners. Remind them that death is not the end of everything, and that at death a human being steps through to reach the peace of eternal life.
Lord God, restore serenity to the mourners' spirits; renew hope in the depth of their consciousness. Inspire them with the thought of honoring the memory of the dear one who was called to your presence.
Sustain the faith in their hearts, so that they do not surrender to despair and to the sterility of anger complaints. Lift high their will to live and to continue their daily tasks.
May they grow in valor. Lord God, inspire us with the courage of the departed. Make fruitful that person's way of living and dying now that it has been watered by the tears of pain and nostalgia.
Amen.
February 23, 2010
Dear Kyra and family. We share your pain at this moment. We pray for God's mercy for all. Much love to all. Lawrence and Judith Dawson.

From experience I know that when we lose someone we love, they are not with us physically but they are with us to influence all we do, say and think. We are better people for things that they have taught us, for things we have taught them and just by their sheer presence in our life.
I know that your hearts are broken now but as they heal memories of Iyisa’s will fill every broken place.
Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Hicks family:
I was shocked and saddened to hear about the loss of Iyisa. My heart goes out to you. I will be here in Los Angeles ready and willing to lend a helping hand if Aunt Liz or Zoe should ever need it. Of course, I have been and will continue to keep the whole family in my prayers. Wayne and Kyra you are both beautiful to me and I want you to remember that I'm just a phone call away if you ever need my support.
My greatest memories of Iyisa are from childhood. I remember her as a very excited and happy girl. Kyra and I were older and more subdued than she was. We could always count on her to bring laughter, and activity into the room when she joined us.
Although Iyisa changed with time, as we all tend to do, I still see that child with the bubbly personality, big-sparkling eyes, and wide smile when I think of her. Through the years my siblings, cousins, and I have discussed Iyisa. We all seem to remember her in these ways.
In addition to those things, Wally always remembered her love for her cats. Keith recalled how she loved to follow him and Charles around. William, being the same age as Iyisa, talked about all of the playing they did together at Big Mama's house.
Little Iyisa will never be forgotten by the Hicks cousins.

What can I say about Iyisa Kathleen Hicks? As her former supervisor for a short period of time, I only wish I could have worked with her longer before she transferred to the San Diego office. Fortunately, we remained friend as her career blossomed throughout the Bureau.
Simply put, the girl was fabulous!!! Though she was often misunderstood, Iyisa was a PHENOMENAL hidden treasure.
She was very low key and kept to herself but if you were fortunate enough to win her trust, you were rewarded several times over with her loyalty and funny sense of humor. Iyisa had an upbeat attitude and was always ready to go. She was extremly honest (in a polite way), detailed-oriented and immaculately organized. She had a beautiful spirit and never complained.
She was quick and what that girl could do with projects was impeccable; completing them within record-breaking times. She sought information and if you were willing to teach her, she was willing to learn. Her overall diligence was superior.
Iyisa genuinely loved to help others and go the extra mile, never wanting anything in return. On one occasion when she was at the San Diego office, she emailed me because she could not believe the SAC presented her with an Employee of the Month award. Iyisa never thought her work performance warranted any special recognition; she just did what had to be done. But what Iyisa failed to realize was her ability to do things so well made her surpass the average individual's level of expectations.
It still has not hit me that she is no longer with us, but she will be greatly missed. It was not her time and although it is hard to digest she is gone, there will never be another Iyisa. To this day, nobody has come close. Wherever her final resting place lies, you can rest assure Iyisa is taking care of business.
With Deepest Sympathy,
Shay

We have another angel watching over us -Iyisa Hicks. I am sure that she was received with opened arms by Mama, Walter, Wayne, Mary, Charles, Big Anita, Little Anita, Nathan, Aunt Pertilla, Malcolm, Charles and other relatives that went before her.
She is at peace - she is loved.
She is safe in the arms of Jesus.
I will miss her.
