Shield Family,

I am truly sorry for your loss. Your family will always be in our prayers.

Hakeem-There are no "right" words to describe how we feel when we lose our mother. I was 10 years older than you when I lost mine. I cried whenver I thought of her-every day! One day I realized she was with me, everywhere and ALL of the time. I could "see" her smile and "hear" her laughter at some funny thing I had done. It was a great comfort to me. I hope you find your Mother's comfort soon.

Dear Te'ah, Hakeem, Brooklyn and Cynthia, and all of your extended family:

Brooklyn and Cynthia, I did not know your mother but I can tell that she was a wonderful person because you both are such sweet girls. My daughter (Nina) and son (Mason) go to the BASP with you. Nina, a kindergartner, loves the attention that you give her after school. I've been very impressed with the beautiful braiding that you've done with Nina's hair! I am so sorry for this tremendous loss in your life. I pray that God will give you the strength you will certainly need during this difficult time. If there is anything we can do to help, please let us know!

Cinny, I'm so very sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Your beautiful smile and kind heart will remind others of your mom often. Sending lots of prayers and hugs your way kiddo. Love, Mrs. Baumgarth

Hakeem - So sorry for your loss. There are no good words to say. We're here if you need anything. We will see you soon. Praying for you and rest of the family. Steve (Jake's Dad)

Hakeem,

Jake, Zach and I have prayed for you daily since we received news of your mother passing. I also lost my mother when I was 14 and the only healing I received was from Jesus and it was life saving.

Thinking of you, Jenn, Jake and Zach

Te'ah and Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this sad time. I hope you will find comfort through the good memories you had with your mother. You will always miss your mom...but I think she will live on through you and your amazing spirit. We love you Te'ah.

Dear Hakeem and Te'ah,

I am so sorry for you and your family. I have known you for so long and through the years I have seen you grow into wonderful young adults. I hope remembering your mom in all the good times will help you through the years.

Ms. K.

Te'ah and Hakeem-I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. A story Hakeem told me is that Mom would not let Hakeem wear his good coat to school, so Hakeem made her drop him off on the corner by North Central so that he wouldn't have to wear a coat he didn't like! She did amazing things for all of you. **Mrs. Downes**

Te'ah and Hakeem, I am so sorry that you have to deal with this tragedy at such a young age. Stay close to each other and help each other through the tough times and keep the memories of your Mom alive in your hearts. Mrs. Sax
