In Memory of ShaNiqua LaCher Walton who departed our lives 6 years ago. March 19, 1974 ~ May 18, 2007
We remember ShaNiqua. A kind, sweet and gentle person, she had a Heart of Gold. She loved from her Soul. Her Laughter was soft, and her Voice just a whisper. We remember the Smile she wore, her Touch full of warmth, and her Eyes aglow. We remember ShaNiqua, we think of her often and miss her more. We remember ShaNiqua whom we all adored.

Yes it seems like yesterday, I still think about my dear friend regularly. At times I feel so selfish for wanting her here with us all to make us laugh, do my hair ( yall know you miss her doing your hair) tell funny stories about Justice not wanting to go to school and encouraging me. LOL, Okay, she just visited like she sometimes do. ShaNiqua, what a beautiful person, especially on the inside and that's what made her so beautiful on the outside. Vickie Nelson

March 19, 2010

Hey Niqua,
I'm just sitting here at my computer thinking about you and the last words you said to me in the hospital. I really truly thought you would be here with us today after me telling you that it's going to be so much better when you come out of their not knowing it was the end for me to see you again.
I love it that I can speak to your mom and hear you through her and to know that Justice is good. I miss you so much girl. And will never stop thinking about you and what you taught me. I love you.
I know today is your birthday so I'm gonna remember you and laugh about the times we did spend together and celebrate for you today, just me and the kids. They miss you to. We love you girl. Happy Birthday LaCher and Rest In Peace.

Dear Shaniqua,

This is the first time I am writing to you since your death. I think of you often and still can't believe that your not here. I will always love and treasure the times we shared. The special rides we took in your car and our talks. It seemed that you always got me. Your mother is a rock and a driving force that keeps me going now and forever. Your son Justice has the same softness and sweetness as you. I look at him and the job your mom is doing with him and a smile is forever across my face.

I can only say that you were too good for this earth and god appreciated you more. Thats why your with him now and forever. I will never forget you and will always love you.
Your Aunt Belinda

Val, thanks for giving me the opportunity to sign ShaNiqua's guest book. Two years ago, I just couldn't pull myself together to sign the book or to visit her in the hospital. It just didn't seem real, not ShaNiqua, but as time went on, I have come to realize that God's will must to be done, and I along with her family had to accept what God allowed. Whenever I think of ShaNiqua, I always thought about my daughter, growing up to be as smart and beautiful as ShaNiqua. You know, I can remember stories when you made me laugh as you were getting ShaNiqua ready for the prom, having to stay up at night making more than one dress because she couldn't decide on what to wear. I would say, yes, looking forward to those days when Zaria will be mimmicking those same actions. You know, I thank God, that I personally know him, and he has given us that blessed assurance to know that ShaNiqua is no longer sick nor suffering, yet we do not understand, but his word says, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, and tell me who wouldn't want to be there. So for you, Val, it's ok to cry, God will wipe away all tears from your eyes, for certainly he is a comforter in times like these. Look what God had done, he has given you a little ShaNiqua (Justice) to keep you on the go bringing a ray of sunshine into your life. Thank you for including my family (Robert, Zaria, and myself) as a part of your extended family. ShaNiqua, girl take your rest, know that we LOVE you, but God LOVES you best. Happy Birthday!

Love Always,
A Friend & Soror
K. Vanessa Stewart & Family

Two years had passed and it seems like yesterday we talked...To a very dear friend to me that I will never forget..
Although you are not here, I see your face through Justice..he is such a smart and handsome young boy(gentleman)..I often think of our talks we shared as we went through different things in our lives....I was so glad to know I had a friendship a true friendship in you....Im just glad I can cherish and hold on those memories we shared together.....Love, DEONNE

Two years ago today you left my side...
Two years later I still cry.... Two years ago we said good-bye.

February 9, 2009

I think about you on a daily basis...that is the truth you see because, I comb my hair everyday, when you use to do it for me once a week, every week. I miss you so much. Whenever I see a dark blue Honda Accord pass me by on the road, I turn my head swiftly to see if it could be you(for those of you who do not know her S.C. license plates included her intials by faith). ShaNiqua, you still bring tears to my eyes.

February 4, 2009

If only I could hear you calling for me again......"Mommy"

To a special friend I will never forget. Sometimes in life we never know the end or the beginning of life. But we must take advantage of the special time we share with each other. Time is the essence of life and love fulfills life. I have share many great days with Ms. Walton. Ms. Walton was a virtuous woman and had a heart of gold. She was the type of person that would give the world to anyone. Proverb 18:21 states, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue" and there were many days she gave me life through her inspirationally words. I know time has past and I never was able to tell that you, “you were a blessing to my life and I will never forget what we shared”......And to Justice, a little man but very strong in heart, wisdom and his ears seek knowledge. You were a blessing to your mother and she had an unconditional passionate love for you that she would have gave up anything for you. If you ever need a friend or big brother I am here for you. To mom and grandmother, Words can't express how I feel right now but I want you to know that I loved your daughter and she was a blessing to my heart.

May God continue to be with this family and give this family strength to press on each and every day

Love and peace to you all

TO THE WALTON, MORTON AND RICHARDSON FAMILY:

WHENEVER I THINK OF SHANIQUA, I WILL ALWAYS BE REMINDED OF THE BIBLE PARABLE OF THE TEN TALLENTS. GOD GIFTED SHANIQUA WITH MANY TALLENTS AND SHE DID NOT SIT ON THEM. SHE USED THEM TO THE BEST OF HER ABILITIES. THOUGH WE WILL MISS HER TERRIBLY, ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT SHE LIVED A LIFE THAT WAS WELL SPENT. I PRAY GOD'S BLESSINGS UPON EACH OF YOU.

June 20, 2007

To the Walton Family, I did not know your loved one personally but I felt compelled to offer my condolences after reading the wonderful things that are being said about her. I'm sure that your hearts are heavy during this time but you must remember to lean on God and put all your trust in him. Please remember that he would not bring you to it if you were unable to get through it. Keep Shaniqua's memories alive in her son's heart and continue to love him as his mother would.

I am so sorry to hear of yhour loss. I will keep you and your family in prayer during this time of sorrow and grief. For the Lord does not abandon anyone forever. Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion according to the greatness of his unfailing love. Lamentations 3:22-26, 31-32 (NLT)

Audrey Gale Harden

June 20, 2007

She held my son's hands when he took his first steps and she wiped away many tears from his eyes; she was there for him when I couldn't be. Her seed has been sown. I hope God will make me an instrument of his love and peace like he did ShaNiqua.

My prayers go out to the Walton family. Shaniqua was a beautiful, wonderful person and I only remeber her smiling. My funniest memory of Shaniqua is when I got my acceptance letter for Delta pushed under my dorm room door around 9 or 10pm and I ran to her with my cash in hand ready to pay her. She really got a laugh off of me with that. She will trully be missed.
