I remember our childhood playing anything from Monolopy to Po-ke-no for hours into wee hrs... even time we hung out so late.. Mom showed up with Big stick after 3rd time calling for us come home.  I remember bus rides... how we would all sing newest songs out.  When gas curlers were hot we'd curl hair on the way to school. With Nia we colored our hair with Kool-aid, we agreed the tropical punch and grape flavors were best. I also remember her bravery and strong faith in God when she got her transplant... NO FEAR she was filled with Faith, Gratitude and praise.  In the good times and bad she always mustered up a smile and something positive. Gonna miss you cuz.  Rest easy and smile down on us from up there.

Nia had the most beautiful singing voice. I remember one Sunday she sang this contemporary song that we all were a little nervous about, us being Spanish Grove and all, (old school gospel is our thing) Lol. But she opened her mouth and sang "Let me touch you and see if you are real..." Her Bluesy voice filled that church and every heart. Nia ushered in the Holy Ghost that day and gave way to us singing about Jesus anyway we wanted. SIP sweet lady.❤️ Steff

Remembering the time when Tanzania and I was about 4 or 5 years old and we were having a sleepover at Shavown's house. Around midnight, Shavown told us a scary story, about a graveyard just outside of her bedroom window. Tanzania and I were so scare that we cried to go home. My Aunt Ollie drove to Scottsburg Elem at midnight to meet my mom. Boy was my mom mad! Shavown called us babies! Yes, I admitted it! I was scared and a big baby! I am not sure if Tanzania was as scare as I was, but it was comforting to know that she supported me eventhrough she knew that we would be getting a 'talkin to' from my mom. Thank you Nia for those sweet memories! Missing you!

Your laugh and kind spirit will truly be missed. Everytime we were together we always shared a few laughs. Gone but not forgotten.

I remember being on the school bus and while the other kids were being mischievous, Nia would at times try to get the kids to respect their elders. Goes to show that even as a young person she had class.  🙏🏽. —Tiffany Walker

I remember years ago getting on the school bus and crying because my daddy was sick. As soon as I sat down, Nia sat beside me and started to encourage me. She made me feel so much better!! And many years later whenever I would see her, no matter how bad she felt, she always managed to encourage me. I saw her right before she left for GA. We told each other that we loved each other and we meant it!!! Sleep in peace our angel!!!

She will be missed dearly! I remember her being in the hospital one Halloween, I went to go see her, of coarse I was dressed up, I peeped around the corner and I thought she was about to take off running. 😂😂... She said jenny I thought you were the grim ripper was coming to get me! 😂😂..
