I only meet her but a very few handful of times years ago but I loved her from the very first time. I enjoyed the time that I did get to spend with her at that time. She was a real pleasure to be around and kept me rolling, laughing the whole time I was there.
I know she is going to be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Steven misses her already very deeply and dearly . His heart is broken 💔 . He loved her very much and only had good things to speak of her always...

Lateka Atchison Smith,

In our hearts you have been and will forever remain...
Until we meet again....💖💗💓❣️

Love you always,
Steven & Shannon
