To the Kemp family,
I was really shocked to learn about Lakeidra’s death on Sunday. I still can’t believe that she is gone. I had a chance of working with Lakeidra for about four years, and what a wonderful lady she was? I always called her “a simple girl with a beautiful heart”. Lakeidra reached out to many people, and did not mind sharing whatever little she had. This is a huge loss. I pray that God comforts you during this difficult time. Rest in Peace Lakeidra.
Iam so sorry to here but know that God will take care of you at this timeof need iknow for my self .my heart go out to you ,just trust God.she wasa beautful person.

I met LaKeidra while employed at MMMHC. She was also a close friend of my mother, Pat Terrana. LaKeidra and I have hung out on several occasions, including last New Years. We played Catch Phrase. She loved playing games!! And just last December she attended my wedding.
My thoughts and prayers go out to you and may God be close to you in your time of sorrow. I am truely, deeply sorry. She will be greatly missed.

There are no words to say. What a beautiful young woman. I am not sure why she went home so suddenly at this time but I pray you find strength, love and compassion in this tragic loss. Where ever you go she will be the angel of love that surrounds your family.

Dear Oscar and Anna:
I am brokenhearted for you and the loss of your gorgeous daughter. I truly know the insurmountable grief you feel as my 16 year old daughter was killed in a car accident too. Please seek comfort from the Lord and lay your pain on Him for that is what kept me alive when I lost Hilary. My heartfelt prayers are with you all and I will pray unceasingly for God to bless you with the comfort He blessed me with during my time of deepest sorrow. Know that you and your family are truly loved. God Bless you.
Anna, Oscar and Pepper,

Marylynn Ramey
I am so very sorry that your family lost LaKeidra. I had the wonderful opportunity of sharing an office with her fro the last 5 months. I must say that this was a gift that I will never forget. LaKeidra ALWAYS had a smile on her face and made a point of asking me about my small dog (a Boston Terrier named Chloe) and sending me emails with cute doggie pictures. She would then say “I knew you would like that”. I cannot say how it hurts me to also have lost LaKeidra…….but the pain your family must feel…..remember her smile and truly sweet aand sincere personality.

Mr. & Mrs. Oscar Kemp Sr. & Oscar Jr,

To the Kemp family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Lakeidra and I attended Lincoln together and she was one of the nicest persons I have ever meet. I can’t believe that she is gone but I know that God timing is not ours. In your time of sorrow, please remember that Lakeidra’s spirit was so strong and bright that she even touched those who only briefly knew her. God Bless you.
My heart goes out to you Anna, Oscar, and Junior during this difficult time. May the love of family and friends help you through the days ahead. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Oscar and Anna,
We know you loved her, but God loved her more. May the comfort of Christ be with you.
We love you.
To the Kemp Family,with sincere condolences.
Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you.
But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when is glory is revealed.
If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the spirit of glory and of God rests on you.
If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler.
However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
1 Peter 4:12-16 NIV
GOD be with you!
