Malayya, a student at Stewart Elementary and Zhanasia, a student at Central Elementary, were like two peas in a pod. Always together, they loved each other, and were baptized together at the Riverside Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of Pastor Marland Brown. Although they had a short time here on earth, they made big impressions with their little inquisitive minds and hands. They loved music, dancing, playing in the water, birthday parties, jewelry, girly stuff and playing with their schoolmates and neighborhood friends. They were happy little girls that loved to have fun and make their mom laugh. They were two of the most loving little girls that you could ever meet. They gave the biggest, sweetest little hugs ever.
