Man. This past year and half has been the hardest of my life. First my Mom, now my baby Sister... Words can’t explain the emotional roller coaster this has been, losing the 2 people that know me better than I know myself. I know I’m strong but God is really testing me with this one. I know He has something in store for me, I just can’t see what it is and that is where my struggle comes from. I DO know that He gives his toughest battles to His strongest soldiers. Never in a million years would I imagine losing my roll dawg, my babygirl, my mini me, Zyke. I want you know how much you are loved and how much you keep me going. You inspired me everyday to go out and be the best version of myself and I can’t thank you enough for that. You and Mommy will live through me FOREVER! I will never forget the memories, the laughs, the cries, the talks, the arguments, and the UNBREAKABLE bond! I just know you and Momma had a ball on her birthday. September 17th, one Queen was born and the other Queen gained her wings. This is not fair, at all but I am going to get through it! I love you so much Zyane. The impact you have on the people around you is indescribable. The smile that lights up a room, they way you brag about me, the swag you have is unmatched. Zyke I promise to carry that legacy that Momma has left for us. I now have 2 Guardian Angels that will guide me every step of the way. I love you Zyane, FOREVER and ALWAYS! #MELOKIDS
Zyane, I remember the first time meeting you, thinking to myself, such a pretty chocolate little girl. Perfect skin, cute ponytail, beautiful smile, and her mom always dressed her so cute. From that day, always respectful, never saying or doing anything disrespectful to anyone. Zyane, I watched you grow from grade school on through high school and it was amazing to see all your accomplishments. A strong young lady with confidence, intelligence, caring spirit, beauty and complete determination, all attributes to describe you. Each new chapter of your life, we knew it wouldn’t be easy, considering the trials and tribulations life had already shown you at such a young age. Through great sadness you continued to strive for greatness, always with the consideration, making mom “Melody” proud. Zyane, I will never forget and always cherish the laughter and love that I felt from your daily visits, phone calls, face time, and text messages. My day wasn’t complete until I heard from you. I loved to hear about your day. I loved to see that beautiful smile. You were such a beautiful young lady, both inside and out. Zyane, I was honored to be one of many who stood in the gap, to help encourage you to achieve awesomeness. Just as you needed us we needed you. I just want to end by saying, I will Always LOVE and already MISSING YOU. I didn’t give you life, but life gave me you and for that I am so Grateful! Loving you always, TT Bea
