I am so sorry for your loss and no amount of words can ever express this. I was Nakesha’s 11th Grade Literature teacher. I remember her as a soulful writer with a beautiful spirit. I pray that you and your family find peace and comfort.

Ms.Foston!
I dont even know where to begin..im lost with words.When I got the phone call I just knew Nakesha was on the other end and it wasnt..i didnt believe it when I heard she had passed and Im still kind of in denial because I just talk to Nakesha a few weeks ago..and she said she was coming to visit me and the baby!We have had so many fun times together.Not only was she my best friend,my twin,my other half...she was a SISTER sent from above...and now I have to go on without her...but I have to be strong for her cause I know thats what she would want me to do and what she's always taught me to do.I will truly miss her Ms.Foston...our bond was inseparable!
