She is also survived by 4 neices, 3 nephews, and a number of cousins whom she loved dearly. The following is from a message from one of her uncles Curtis Jones.
"As I sit down to write to you, I am overwhelmed by the incredible spirit you carry within you. Your laugh, so infectious and pure, is a melody that brings joy to everyone around you. Your smile, always inviting and full of light, has the power to brighten even the darkest days. And your eyes, they tell stories of strength, courage, and dreams long before words leave your lips. You are the only person that I know that leads a sentence with a smile.
You are a remarkable soul, Dominque. The Hampstead women, strong and loving, hold you and it is no coincidence that it is those women who surround you now- the men usually play the background - you know that.
We see you, not just as a niece, sister or cousin , but as a beacon of hope and resilience. Your journey, though challenging, has been a testament to your incredible bravery and the love that surrounds you.
In moments when you feel tired or afraid, remember that you are not alone, though I know it feels that way at times. You are enveloped in the love and strength of a family that cherishes you deeply. We believe in you, we are proud of you, and we are always here for you.
You have touched our lives in ways words cannot fully capture. Your spirit will forever be a part of us, inspiring us to be better, to love harder, smile hard and laugh louder to cherish each moment. Thank you for being the extraordinary person you are.
Let the anger pass through you and relish in the love that is you and all around you."
Rest in eternal peace baby girl. Forever young. We all see you!
