Dear Maria,

All of us who have been blessed to know you, and share in the beauty of the soul that you Are, are deeply saddened by your absence. A diamond that shines like the sun does not begin to describe the love that you radiated to all of us every time we were graced in your presence. Through your Son, Kenny, you live and shine on for all to see, and His strength, grace and integrity of character are all a tribute to the constant flow of love and affection that you gave in your life. Thank you for being in our lives, and showing us all what it means to be a Real, Down to Earth, Angel. We love you and we thank God for you, and we celebrate your life. All of us who knew you still feel you in the air we breathe, whispering in our ears “Call Kenny… Where is He?.. What did eat today?..” and we will honor your memory by helping assist Kenny to complete the goals and dreams that you two set out to accomplish together, from basketball to college and beyond. We are committed to Being Here for Kenny as you assist from the other side, and we remember you now and always. I love you Maria, you are in my heart forever, and I will do all that I can to be a true friend, sister, and family member to Kenny, my little brother, from this day on.

IN ETERNAL APPRECIATION FOR YOU,

Kelli Maria

Maria,
You were and you are a blessing to me and everyone that came into contact with you. I enjoyed having you as a neighbor, friend and someone to confide in. Christmas Eve of 2008 we spent together talking until 3 am. That Christmas morning is a memory I will never forget. The Joy and energy you possessed showed everyone in their darkest moments the light of hope. My family and I are and everyone who knew you are all deeply saddened by this sinless accident. I continue to ask myself why you, a graceful and courageous women of all people would be taken from us. I will forever miss your outgoing upbeat courageous spirit. Although we loved you…. GOD loved you best. Despite the obstacles you had in your life, you never gave up hope. You always had positive energy to spread to everyone you came into contact with.
Your memory will always be treasured and will be missed by all. I missed your phone call that day at 2:20 and I know you were calling to share good news like always. Maria I love you and I know you’re looking down on Kenny, your family and friends with a smile on your face telling us to continue to live everyday to our fullest because tomorrow is not promised to anyone. You never got the chance to attend church with me due to your busy schedule with Kenny and his games and I understood. Kenny, you were, you are and will always be your mother’s pride and joy; she lived for you. Continue to live your dreams and play every game as if your mother was in those stands rooting for her baby and his team. Kenny, you know have a guarding angel watching over you.

May your soul rest in Peace Maria
Love You Always, Yashica Simpson
