    I am really devistated by the death of Jaylah Ja’Nae Tate. I knew her personally, she was my neice. She only lived for one year but for the one year that she was here, she was loved ad was a true bleesing to me and my family. She was such a bright, happy and beautiful baby. When I was feeling down, her little chubby face would cheer me up. I still can hear her singing “No One” by alicia Keys…. She loved that song. I will still save some food on my plate because I know Jaylah would want it. I love you Jaylah, may you rest in Peace.
