You were more than just a classmate-you were part of a chapter in my life that I will always cherish. I adored you, not only for the kind of person you were, but because of the deep bond I shared with your brother Feedy. Through him, I got to know your heart-loyal, kind, and true
Thank you for the memories, the laughter, and the light. You will always be remembered, always loved, and forever missed.

Bruva, where do I commence! Whewww, this was unexpected and still unbelievable! When Sis called me, I thought it was a prank! I had not
to long ago talked to you! That was the absolute worst day of 2022 for me. I will make sure Sis is alright! You have a phenomenally pulchritudinous wife! I love Sis! I love and miss you immensely! Thank you for being my best friend and big Bruva!

Please shine your light as we honor and remember LaTrell´s amazing and King of a husband, who is now in your arms.

Heavenly Father, please bring unshakable hope to LaTrell and her family´s troubled hearts. King Jesus, LaTrell and her family´s hearts are broken and our souls are aching for our sister LaTrell and her family. We are putting a demand on Heaven to continuously shower LaTrell and her family with your immeasurable and unyielding grace, mercy, peace, comfort and love.

Feddy - we go way back to Shipley Terrace in SE DC- with your brother who was my best friend and your little sister Jasmine. I too will miss your Gregarious laughter and your ability to see the glass half full. You lived larger than life and embraced the concept of giving back through your service and partnership with the school system. Until we meet again on the other side - I will always remember your mantra for life and carry the mantle. Prayers to the family and sincere condolences-
