I didn’t know her, but I saw her grave while visiting someone I knew, it broke my heart seeing what happened . I came back the day after and left her some flowers for her and the family. I’m so sorry for the loss of this beautiful girl. May she rest.

Hi Katrina, i know that we didnt actually get to know each other, but I remember you from school, and from being Kiambrees friend. All I can say, is when I saw the news, I got tears in my eyes. Anybody that I knew in my life, I care about. And id have to say the few times I was around you, you were so bubbly, and happy, friendly, uplifting.. Theres not many souls out here like you anymore. And Im so sorry for what happened to you, I know you didnt deserve that. I remember when I was at kiambrees house, you came by and you were so sassy and filled with laughter updating Kiambree about the new news in your life. Its so crazy, that I once saw you in front of me, and now.. youre gone. But we all know that youre in a much better place now. Thank you for leaving your mark here with us. You thought us how to bring women up, and be nice to everyone.. R.I.P Queen.... I wish I got to know more of you. My life would probably have more light in it, by being your friend.

To my beautiful Queen. Words can't explain how heart broken I am over your lost. Your sweet smile, warm hugs, little giggles and crazy self will never fade and will remain in my heart forever. I will keep you, the memories we shared alive forever and ever. You are my light, my safe keeper,my rock. You have created a new woman out of me. Because of you, I will stand strong and be a voice for you. Your last days were beautiful and a huge Thank you to Combest Miller for the love and support given. They took care of you as their own. I'm grateful for Samantha as she took you under her wings and cared for you. As I tucked you in your casket my heart raced faster than ever before, but there, in the midst of it all stood Kevin and Samantha watching me cry over you and yet never rushed my last moments with you. The agony of pain knowing that would be the last time I felt, hug or touched you. I tucked you away so carefully. You looked so peaceful but yet I was far from being at peace. Please know my love that I will always love you and never forget you. I will always brag and talk about you until the day I join you. You're my light, my Armor, my purpose in life. You will be my one and only Katrina "My little pumpkin". Rest with Jesus my sweet girl until we talk and meet again. Love Mom

I will always remember that precious smile! Cyan filled our classroom with love every single day! She always invited the kids that were alone to be in the group! She continued to do that in adulthood by making people beautiful! She always brought out the best in people; such an amazing task! She was an angel here on Earth! I am so privileged to have had her in my life! You loved your mom so much; she was an amazing parent! Your dad will be there for you now! God bless Cyan and her precious family! I love you, sweetheart!
