To the family of Lakeisha,

I would like to extend my deepest and hearfelt sympathy to you all. I had the pleasure of meeting Lakeshia about a year ago, when she worked at Green Acres, which now seems like forever ago. She was very quiet and always well-mannered, which is rare in this crazy old world, as most of the children have gone astray, know that you all raised a beautiful young lady. My prayer will be for her young son to stay strong and make her proud and for you all to hold onto to your faith.

I extend my condolences and deepest sympathy to your family- as this is a great loss. Lakeisha was a joy to be around. I remember her being at school- just as quiet as sweet as you could imagine. On behalf of the WOSHS class of 1999- she will be greatly missed.

Mr. and Mrs, Gilbert, the Kerry Franks family sends their condolences to you both and Ebonie. The news of LaKeisha's passing shocked and sadden me and my family. Keisha was such a quiet young lady when you all stayed down the street from us, but she always had smile when she greeted me. God bless and keep each of you. My prayer is that God will continue to strengthen you through this ordeal.

To the family "Sis Minnie" you have my deepest condolence's and symphathy at your lost. "Sis Minnie" remember the conversation that you and I held at the gas pump that saturaday morning before all this took place? I'll make this short and brief. While you spoke on the deepest concern for your children I spoke these words to you " Don't worry sister, they have set under a great annointing and was taught by a great minister and I told you before the end of their time they will not be lost, but they would go up to heaven. May the holy spirit bring it back to your rememberence. It is well! and I love you always.

LaKeisha had just started working here with the school buses recently, but we will miss her smile. I didn't know her very well, but I could tell she was very sweet. My condolences to the family from our family at First Student formerly Laidlaw.
