Hey it has been 2 years since you passed. I just finished 7th grade yesterday. I know u were there mentally and not physically but i still feel your presence. Love u so much

April 16, 2019

Zyan was a great girl. I didn't know her personally, but she was a great safety patrol member at our elementary school. She was sassy, smart, intelligent and polite. I remember the time I was in the hallway waiting for band class to start and I had to use the restroom. Zyan was monitoring the hall so I figured I should ask her. The band teacher was really strict and wouldn't really let us use the restroom ( love you Mrs.Ray). When I asked Zyan she smiled and allowed me to go. Right before she passed she was in the play "Aladdin". She played the genie and did a really good job.

Zyan will truly be missed here at River Oaks Academy. She was such a joy--witty, friendly, that big beautiful smile and those theatrical talents were awesome! She was so many things to so many people- confidante, friend, advisor, encourager, and such a sweet scholar. May the family find comfort in knowing that Zyan was special and impacted the lives of many. She is now sitting and leading in God's garden of special flowers, welcoming all the little ones who come in. If there is anything we can do for you, PLEASE let us know. Zyan, we love you and will forever cherish your memories in our hearts.
