You lived your life everyday as a strong woman in order to make a positive difference for the people depending on you. Through trials and tribulations, you knew you still had to carry on and keep it moving forward.

I love and miss you to the highest degree possible. My thoughts and prayers remain with our family. Thank you so much for being a part of my life. Wishing you a very happy 44th birthday, on 10-27-2021, during the 44th week of calendar year 2021.

Damita's light shined so bright- it was impossible to not notice her presence. She was big-hearted and compassionate. She encompassed the true spirit of friendship.
