My sincerest condolences to Destiny's family during this very difficult time. It was a pleasure to have Destiny on the team at Rite of Passage. She made a profound impact on the youth she worked with. She demonstrated tenacity balancing work and school. There was nothing she would not do for her cohorts or youth. She had a beautiful soul and bright future ahead of her. She is truly missed. Destiny will continue to live in our hearts forever thorough memories. Praying for the family and all lives she touched through her work.

MONTGOMERY!! That's what I used to call you. I knew you were special when you, your mother and sister walked into the Admissions office at Stillman for that campus tour. You were one of my first recruits and I'll never forget you. You were amazing, and forever will be. I remember being so proud everytime I'd see you accomplishing something. I'm happy that I got to tell you how proud I was of you, and I will always be proud!! Your spirit and name will live forever!!

Sincerely, Miss Whitney

My deepest sympathies on the loss of Destiny Gardner. Ms. Gardner was a wonderful coworker and a lovely young lady. She was always a positive influence on the youths she worked with, being real with them and they all looked up to her. She was a vibrant and friendly person but took no nonsense from anyone. I had the pleasure of working with her. She has left us too soon and she will be greatly missed.

Sabrina Vinson

My thoughts and prayers go out to you all.
