Jeannie, Richie, De'Shawn, RJ, Baby Antonio and the rest of my family....words cannot express how saddened we are about Kisha. She was such a quiet young lady with a sweet spirit. I remember the last time I saw her, the smile that she had on her face when I saw her with Baby Antonio. It's the same smile she had and displayed as a little girl, allow the memory of that smile to radiate in your hearts as you think of her.... We know to be absent from the body is to be present with our Lord, so rest assure in knowing that she is safe in our Fathers loving arms. We pray for you all that God will grant you strength during this trying time. We love you. Your cousins,
