My beautiful and smart niece may you find the peace โ you couldn't have here Aunt Sonja
Sweet, Naya. From coworker, to roommate, to sister--I will not forget all of the memories I shared with you over the years. No matter the situations you were temporarily in, you met each day with a smile on your face and a "let's get it" attitude. Your outlook on life taught me to look on the brighter side and to be less serious and laugh in the face of adversity, and I thank you for the lessons you taught me. I hope you knew how much you were loved and that your family and friends had your back as you had theirs. May your soul be at peace. Love, T'Keyah "Key"
You are Forever in our hearts Naya
Naya, I miss you, your enerygy, your laughter and smile. Hey Nate was my greeting with a big hug. I'm lost for words but I know that you are at peace now, I'll pray and we chat again. I'll see you in my dreams, continue to watch over us all, I love you!
My Positive Thoughts go out to all the Family...Naya will truly be missed. We had some GREAT times of pure fun and laughter.

Naya, losing you will leave a void in many peoples life because you carried a energy that was unmatched. I hate that you're gone but I'm at peace knowing that you've found yours. Rest in peace Naya.

The meaning of the white candle is purity, new beginnings, protection, truth, peace, harmony and calming the mind. I pray that you find purpose in your new beginning as Naya will find hers in this next life. You are an amazing person Nikki and I know that peace will find you again. Find comfort in the wonderful memories. I love you and praying for you and your family.
My dearest sister , I love you so much, I know you wanted me to move back home so bad , I wish I did sooner so I could see your face again . I love you
Words cannot express hours much I love Naya. It's hurts so deeply to not be able to get a hug and a "Hey Auntie" or a "Nicolas, I'm coming back to see you." Her smile lit up the world. I love and miss you niece. Love Auntie Trina
