To Koya,
The love you showed me everytime I was in your presence let me know you were a friend to have forever. We had our disagreements in our union, but you still did not treat me like an outsider. I have nothing but love for you. I miss you Shakoya and you will be missed greatly to our community. Up in heaven I hope the angels are showering you with love, peace, and happiness. I miss you girl!
Yours Truley,
