Our hearts are broken as we approach prom & graduation season. You deserved to dance the night away at your prom in the prettiest dress. You deserved to walk across that stage. Even with a broken heart I still thank God that you accomplished so much so fast. You had the business mind of a woman way beyond her years. You had a plan and I wish I had the chance to see you accomplish all your goals after graduating. I’m still proud of you. I love and miss you 😘 Forever Kira’s World 💕

Akira you are missed so much, praying for strength, I 💘 you and wont ever stop until we get justice, kiss mommy and carol for me, until I see your beautiful face again, mana

Akira  was the most goal-oriented person I had ever met. It’s not often you see someone so young with such drive and passion. Not only was she passionate about her work, she was passionate about the people around her. She was the first person I spoke to in school when I moved to DC and she spoke to me as if I was already a long time friend. I will never forget her kindness. She was and still is an inspiration to everyone who was blessed to have known her in any capacity. 

When Ms. Stephanie named you I had no idea she was naming such a powerful Angel that touched so many lives. Akira you were such a loving baby no crying or whining always smiling. I would sit in Toni’s room all night long and hold you in my arms. I didn’t care about getting up early for school the next day. Holding you in my arms was my favorite thing to do. Watching you sleep so peacefully. Then when I finally put you in your crib your Auntie would come in the room and say “I was just saying Goodnight” and you would wake right back up wanting me to hold you all over again 😂 I miss those times I cherish those times. You were our ray of Sunshine. I miss you so much Angel of Mine but thank you for the memories. I love you! Forever Kira’s World ❤️

I can't stop, won't stop thinking about you, I 💘 and miss you, I remember you always having a project and I just wish you were here, love you to life Akira, love Mama

God give us the strength to get through this season. We still don’t understand why we only had 18 years with Akira. 2022 traumatized us.  Give us what we need to face 2023. Restore our hope when we feel hopeless. 
Akira missing you hurts. I would give anything in the world to have one last talk with you. Until we meet again, Angel of Mine. Happy New Year Kira Bear I love you! Forever Kira’s World ❤️

Hey Kira girl, can't get you out of my mind, praying for understanding and knowing that you are now in Heaven in the 🏠 that God has built for you, I miss you and I love you, the day you left you took my heart with you and it's not easy living without you, please come and visit your mom, so she can find some kind of peace, 💘 and always appreciate YOU, MaMa

Merry Christmas in Heaven Akira, I 💘 you and miss you, you were my first granddaughter, my first everything, from changing diapers to wiping your nose and all your wild adventures, my life will never be the same , I thought you needed me, but in fact I needed you, your smile could light up any room, and although you are with GOD, it still does not make this easy, I will never forget you and you saying mama please please when I would say no and doing whatever it is you wanted, loving you was so easy, because of who you were. Akira I am so lost without you and will never forget you, my little 👼 in Heaven

All I want for  Christmas is justice for you.❤️ my favorite holiday memories with you. Waiting until you fall asleep, Hobart bringing in so many toys, me & Toni staying up all night tired wrapping gifts 😂 but the smile on your face every Christmas morning made it all worth it. I could always count on you every year to ask me “Darya you spending the night over my house?” It was our little tradition. Missing you so much ❤️ I love you! Forever Kira’s World ❤️ Merry Christmas Akira 

My Kira Bear, this tragedy has been so hard on the family. We miss your presence, we miss your smile. I know you are in Heaven getting ready for the holidays, baking everybody their favorite sweet treats. So I know you’re busy but Akira please find a way to put a smile on Toni’s face for her birthday.  Assure her that you are ok.  I love you! Forever Kira’s World ❤️

You're on the computer screen 🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🌹🌹

The time I got to know you, When I started this hotel job  you trained me on my first day we both was excited from there, We were friends everyday while you were a intern you made it your business to say Hi with that big smile you lit the day I just always wanted what was best for you anytime I didn't see you and when you got hired we was right there kicking it and I stated girl you know you got the job you were a female who had her head on straight you knew what you wanted to do in life most female that age barely look towards there future like you did I was one so Thank you for the time we spend and the precious memories We missed you like crazy at this job but you love will go on thru your family 
Justice for Akira Long Live a beautiful soul

My Condolences to Hobart and his entire family Sorry For Your Loss

My Heart Goes Out To Toni Cole & Dawn Perry & Family, Our parents grew up as school age kids, we look at each other parents as aunts, I would never believe that you all will be burying Dawn Perry & Toni Cole First Born grandchildren & Toni Cole first born daughter tomorrow, Your Grandmother Miss Perry Paved the way for many people in DC, for Someone to be so careless to take Akira life like this, it was a selfish act amongst our culture, this young lady had dreams of entrepreneurship and working alongside her dad, in a funeral home, the young lady had dreams, it hurts the family and it hurts true friends, Toni we watch our moms work hard and struggle to put food on the table, so we wouldn’t struggle and we mark their footsteps and work just like them, And our children watch us, for Akira to be A angel watching down now, it’s a earthly heartbreak for us all to not have her here to be able to touch & hold her and have fun at the family and Friend events, May your dream live on babygirl in the youth , that walk these streets and want something out of life, Be That Angel for your Mom , Grandmother and baby brother, They need your heavenly strength right now, May You Rest In Heaven Angel With Your Grandmother Miss Perry. You will be Truly miss & Toni Hold On Lady, You Raised A great child she will always be your Angel,

Alisa Steele Daughter
Kyona Hammonds,

GOD Bless you, Angel! You were so young but we have no doubt your light and big heart impacted everyone you touched. Our Family sends your loved ones, friends and school family, our deepest sympathies. We pray GOD'S strength and ask for HIS peace, which surpasses all understanding. From my Son, a fellow Jackson-Reed student, and our entire Family. GOD Bless.

Akira, when I think of you I think of the most beautiful butterfly in the whole world!  You were always smiling, happy go lucky, had  nothing but kind words to say to everyone,  You have such a loving and sweet spirit, Everyone that had the honor to be in your presence was blessed.  You will always live in your parents and family hearts! We will miss seeing your gorgeous smile.  We will always love and remember the joy and happiness that you brought  to our family!  Sleep peacefully our  beautiful Angel and Butterfly!

Love Aunt Margareth

You were a little sister to me. I told you everything & confided in you. Life will NEVER be the same without you here. You were a star on this earth, you shined so bright with the prettiest smile & aura. The most forgiving person i knew. But, now you’re an angel in the sky. You’re gone but never forgotten. I LOVE YOU AKIRA! We WILL meet again. #cousinsbybloodfriendsbyCHOICE

Kira I'm gonna miss you .  I love you more than life itself.  This is so unfair , you didn't deserve this. I will continue to make you proud.  I know my life will never be the same. You're my first child. We had so many good times. I want you to know that you have been nothing but the best daughter a mother could ask for. I know you want me to be strong for Amari and Ari but it's so hard. I can't wait to the day I see you again . Rest easy and fly high. Please come visit me . 

Akira will always live through me !! I’m lost for words not really much to say, I’m just blessed that I was able to meet and bond with Akira, she was a great person with a beautiful soul she deserves to be here to live her dreams. Life goes on I’m going to live my dream for the both of us. My condolences to Akira’s family 

I'm sending love, prayers, and strength to Hobart and the fam.  I know words can't stop your pain but hopefully they ease it a little.
