Sorry to hear about the passing of Kishia. My heart goes out to her family. If nobody remembers who I am, this is Donny Quequesah. I do remember the way Kishia was, and yes she was a really nice person and easy to get along with. We spent a lot of time together in our younger years, when I lived on the Rez. I now live in Arizona. I was actually thinking of Kishia the other day. I was wondering what she was up to and how life was going for her. She will be missed by me big time. Now she is in Heaven with God and the Angels. She’s gone, but not forgotten…
Condolences from myself and dughter Lindsey Lichte, we enjoyed Lakishia for the short life she lived, our thoughts and prayers are with you. Peace Be with You Diana and Lindsey

Dear Brenda and Virgil,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. No loss feels as profound as the loss of a child — it is always too soon. May you find comfort in your memories, your families, your faith and in each other.
Very truly,

I’m sorry to hear about the passing of Kisha. I knew her when I was going to College and she was definately a people person.
My condolences to family and friends of Kisha. Memories of her go way back to when my grandma Virginia had her in our home with her sister, going to school together, and just seeing her smiling face here and there at different times in life. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who was touched by Kisha and suffer the pain of her loss. May time and memories bring peace…
I am a better person today because I met you. You were an inspriation to me at MCDC and you you will be greatly missed. There hasn’t been a day gone by I haven’t thought about you and think of all the laughter we shared in MCDC. I wish we could have met under other circumstances b/c we would have rocked this nation. We are so funny together, we made life bareable for not only ourselves but to many others. Not only did we learn to laugh out loud no matter what life had to deal us and whatever atmosphere we were surrounded with. The fourth floor was awesome in Butte! I’ve missed you so much ever since we were seperated, but our time together couldn’t have been better. Thanks you LaKishia for all you gave me.

We loved her dearly and i wish i could have been there for the funeral, but from what i can remember about her was she was always there, she always made me and my sisters laugh! i remember one day she was over at our house and she helped set up the nintendo 64 haha old school right? but it was awesome to have her around she was my moms best friend as was mine! she never let you down she would always bring a smile to your face and i hope that’s how people will remember her because i know i will!
