I didn't personally know Ikeyia, but I know that she attended Commonwealth Challenge Academy as my sister did. I want to give the family and friends of Ikeyia my most sincere condolences for your loss. I know that no words can help ease the pain of knowing she is not physically here anymore but may the lords love and power help heal your broken hearts and provide you with the strength to carry on. I just lost my great-grandmother about two weeks ago and am also mourning as you all are, I know Ikeyia was young and bright and a beautiful girl and please always remember her that way. Rest assured that you will be reunited with her in paradise and that this is not a goodbye, this is a see you later. God bless you all. <3

To Dawn and Queenie,
Mother and Granmother. I can't imagine sudden death of a love one, but I can imagine the sorrow and pain you all must feel. I met this young lady only a couple of times through your family, God has now taken one of his very own, home with him. Where there's this beautiful Kingdom we all shall call home someday. She's leaving your house to be in God's house. My Prayers and Love go out to you all. God Bless you.

To the Jones/Prosise family,

Ikeyia was an awesome young lady. I too had the pleasure of teaching her this past year. She was a very mannerable, sweet,intelligent young woman; and would make me laugh as she bolted into class with that big contagious smile. I had so many plans for her because I knew she would become something great;so of course my heart was heavy when I found about her untimely passing. Take heart in knowing she really truly loved her family and spoke of you often. Earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. I pray that God comforts your family during this time, and that you find solace in her beautiful memories.

To the Jones Family. I had the pleasure of coaching Ikeyia for one year on the basketball team that went to the State Finals and she always wore a smile. I will always remember the laughter that she brought to the team with her wit or her unique style of dress that only she could pull off. I can not imagine the pain that you are going through right now, but rest assured that God gained an angel with her. May you find peace and comfort in the loved ones around you.
