Lakeshia, called Keshia by most, was a joy to be around.  She was short in stature but her personality was bigger than a giant.  Her smile lit up the room and she was the life of the party.  She could make anyone smile on their worse day.  In addition to her upbeat personality, she exuded love to everyone that crossed her path.  Keshia lived her life to the fullest.  Keshia enjoyed traveling, being with friends and family, and making memories with her loved ones.  She unselfishly gave of her time and supported everyone.  Keshia was a true “lady”.  She loved expensive perfumes, makeup, and was very rarely caught in a flat shoe.  Everyone who knew her, knows how she loved her heels.  She loved cooking, posting videos and pictures of her dishes, and coined the term “Something Like A Chef”.    She adored her big brother, Damon, and was his protector.  She loved her sister in love, Shonda, her nieces, nephew, and great nieces with all her heart.  She had an unbreakable bond with her longtime companion, Tommie, and knew he always had her back.  More than anything, she loved being a mommy to her two girls.  They loved trying new recipes, going out to dinner, and their special Target trips.  They were the light of her life.  She loved making memories with them and their bonds will never be broken.
