Hello Dad, I graduated on May 20th, 2025. I won best dress of RHS. I was in a school organized called JAG, and I won 2nd place of employability skills at the district competition. I was also president of my JAG Club. For Prom, my younger sister chatoria went with me. I was also a part of 2 fashion shows at Dillard´s. I just want to say I love you and not day goes by that I don´t think of you. I would like to think of life as sunshine and rainbows if you were here. I stopped by the cemetery and left you one of my honor cords, my tassel, and my flower bouquet to include you in everything. Grandma also has a tassel, but hers is pink.

To the Mathis Family,
I did not know you all personally but I met you all on Sunday while I was there visiting the Shipman and Robinson patients in CCU. I am truly sorry for your loss. You were in my prayers on Sunday and you are in prayers on today. I asked God to comfort your hearts and keep the family bound in love and strength from one another. Cast your cares on Jesus for he cares for each of you and he loved Keith and all of you.
