So many memories, so many laughs, so many trips we shared together over 10 years. Kira you will always hold a special place in my heart, just for being you and for being sweet, empathetic and a good friend. You wore your heart on your sleeve, and I admire your strength through all of our obstacles and journeys that we went through in our 20s. We were just two young girls trying to get through life. I'll always hold on to all of the memories all the fun times we had and even the sad moments we overcame. Rest in peace, beautiful !
I send comfort and love to the family to your mother such a sweet lady my heart hurts for you guys. You comforted me and were there for me. When I lost my husband. You were an amazing, beautiful soul a true friend. I will forever cherish our memories we made together. We made a lot of them, especially when it came to your birthday. That's one thing you never played about was your birthday. lol and maybe one day I'll hit the lottery for you! You always said you was gonna hit it one day. I remember being in Florida and our room number was 420 it was me you and the girls and we went to the gas station and said we should play the lottery and do pick three (4-2-0)but we didn't and the next day we found out our number 420 hit we could never let that go. Watch over us angel!
There are so many great things I could say about Shakira. From the wonderful smile to all of the great things we have done together. We even left and went to the same college together. With all the great memories from high school and college, she definitely will be missed, rest peacefully.
Shakira was such a smart and beautiful soul! We became good friends my senior year in high school! She use to catch rides with me home when i work at Lowe's food in Cole park. We have some fun memories together. From high school classes, beach trip, concerts, working together! I took my first flight with her to Puerto Rico! I was terrified and she informed me not to worry i would be just fine while we was ascending in the air lol. You will truly be miss my "Tyra Banks"!!! Sending my love to the family! -Tamekia Pratt
