My Condolences to the Entire Family Sending My Prayers Derrick Clark

Shanise was such a sweet person and I never thought that anyone could love my daughter Aasia (her bonus daughter) more than I could. I am grateful that I had someone on my team who not only loved my child but help raised her into the young lady that she is. My heart is with my daughter, her siblings and her father. I extend my deep sympathy to the Jefferson Family and all those who loved Shanise. Rest on Shanise you are indeed a true warrior. Until we all meet again take your place in the heavens above.

Ms. Cathy Caballero

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER QUIET AND SOFT SPOKEN SHANISE FROM THE JOB AT TYSON. SUCH A SWEET AND KIND SOUL. HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR MEMORIES AND LOVE OF HER.

Shanise, you were the epitome of a good wife, mother, and friend. Your contagious smile and that soft tone voice is truly going to be missed. I remembered how you and your sister Mae, and my four nieces and Letoria would have choir practices at our home, and Ms. Thomasean Moss would leave her van with me, so I could pickup her sweet little girls and we would travel all over the Delta area to various churches in order for people to hear her little people choir! She and I was so proud of y'all! Back then I remember Mae could sang My Eyes on the Sparrow like grown woman. And you, my nieces Tamala, Shanta, Danesha , and of course Jamie and Letoria would do their little parts, to help back her up with those angelic voices. And another thang I remember you would always asks me, what is that Thomas doing these days? and you would burst out laughing saying all the foolish and clowning things he would do walking home from school with y'all! My sister Susie told me the other night how she was glad to see you at my 60th birthday party last year, and how you asked her was she still cooking like when you and Mae use to come down to the apartment and visit. You know she was the mother that whatever she had for children to eat she was going to make sure she had enough for their friends, and whoever else that might have stopped by😀I am thankful that I was able to speak too you briefly that Friday night I didn't want to hold you in conversation to long, but you was extremely excited and you were explaining the visiting hours to me. When Zelmer and I , made there you were in a deep sleep. I don't know if you heard us, but we felt you did. I felt in my heart you gave the fight of your life to make it back to your Earthly home. But, God said it was time for his child to come and take her rest, with him! It's hard for all of us not to have you here! but God has his child now! With this being said, love you and rest on!💕💕💕💕

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
