Hey this is Leeanne from Berkeley High school... Niya was a friend of mine and it hurt me when I found out that she died Friday.. but then i got to thinking... She is in a better place now without pain even though we are in pain.. But there is no more medicines and no more suffering for her... She has a beautiful baby girl Jordan... She is so precious... i loved Niya to death... But i am praying for everyone in the family.. Everyone at my church is praying for yall.. Niya always made me smile when I was upset or something.. She always had someone laughing or smiling.. Everytime someone talked to her they smiled and actually listened to her... Well that's all i got to say for now... Love Yall very much!!!!

Dear Jackie-

Don't be discourage that your baby girl is gone. She has already graduated and she attends University Heaven on Straight Street. Like Rev. Harkness said. so Jackie it will get some gettin use to. It will take some time. Just trust in the Lord, Niya is right beside you probably hugging you. Don't be afraid she will also protect you, she will be your angel now.

Love Benita Tew #22

& The Tew Family

I would like to express my thought and prayers to the williams family in the little time that i knew Niya she was the perfection of an angel keep ya hills high b/c one day we all will rejoice again!!!!

I coached the Wando girls basketball team last year and was very impressed with not only Nia's basketball skills, but her sportsmanship demeanor on the court. My thoughts and prayers go out to Nia's family and friends.

Dear Jackie,Monica,Rusty,& the Williams Family; My heart goes out to you. I have known Niya since she was a little girl and she was truly a blessing to everyone. God has surely received a special Angel in heaven now. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of need. Please call me if you need anything. Your just like family to me. Love Jessie

Jackie, Monica, Shalica, and Rusty

No one knows what you are going through right now, but always know that God is still in control. We cannot know why Niya's life was so short, but He knows. I saw Niya grow from a little girl to a fine young woman. One lasting memory of Niya is that she was always smiling. Niya will always be with you, in your hearts and through her little angel - Jordan. May God bless each one of you.

May god give you all strength on this day, and continue to keep you near. You have my deepest sympathy and prayers.

On behalf of my daughter Tashiah Houston, she wanted me to let the family of "Niya" know that she has being praying for "Niya" all along and that she is deeply hurt. Only God knows best and we can't question why. One thing we do know is that God has sent you another beautiful "ANGEL"!



My daughter Tashiah is a member of the Stratford High Girls Varsity Basketball Team and has played against "Niya" for the past several years. Alot of students did not know that they were really good friends and was told they even favor in looks. There names are even similar too. Oh what A Blessing it was for my daughter to have known "Niya". Rest in Peace!



May God Bless you all and that "Sweet Little Angel Jordan"!



N* Nice

I * Intelligent

Y* Young

A* "ANGEL"

To Jackie, Rusty, Monica, and Sneak

I can't imagine the pain that you are suffering, but I do know that she is in a better place. Always remember that she will as ways be here. Take care of lil Niya and as a family support one another. Love you all and sorry that I could not have been there to give a shoulder to cry on or just a warm embrace. She is gone but will never be forgotten.

I did not personally know Niya, but I was blessed to be in her presence for a very short while. I know that through people who knew and loved her, she was a very special and talented young lady. May God wrap His arms around her as she is with Him in heaven. I will keep the family in prayer.

Jackie and family, I know only the Master can help you during this time of bereavement. I pray that you will be comforted by His love and that your memories of your dear Niya will sustain you during this difficult time. "Cast Your cares upon Him, for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7"

Heaven must have needed an angel because now they have one. She was one of a kind and never changed for no one. But now all we have is her memory and her child. I pray that God continues to be with your family in this time of need. Please stay strong. My love goes out to you.

I love you all. May God continue to strengthen you in this your time of bereavement. Just continue to look to the hills from whence cometh all your help.

I would like to offer my sympathy to the Williams' family. As Niya's math teacher, I would like to say that she was a wonderful and intelligent young lady. She will be greatly missed by me.
