I am completely shocked and saddened to hear about Donetta's passing. She was a good friend with a terrific spirit and will be greatly missed. I will always remember her smile, great singing voice and all the fun we had. I will also never forget the infamous “clothing schedule” she kept while at Morgan State which inspired me to keep one shortly after. My thoughts and prayers go out to the King & Tapscott family.
Love, Jamillah (Brown) Renard (Morgan State University c/o 1995)

I am so shocked by the sudden loss of my college friend. I know that God calls us in His time, but I will miss my girlfriend. We had some fun times attending Homecoming at Morgan State University. May God comfort the King and Tapscott family. You are all in my prayers. Love, Alika Gillis Redd (Morgan State University c/o 1994)

I will always remember Donetta's bright, beautiful smile and her caring spirit. We worked together for a brief, but meaningful time at Shiloh Family Life Center Foundation. My deepest sympathy to the family. Donetta will never be forgotten.

To the King Family. Donetta was a very special person to me. We met at the retreat and had a great time. I will surely miss her smile and the way she reached out whenever I saw her in church or at school. Always remember, her family meant everything to her.
