She came into our lives just as we were both coming of age as adults and has been a constant beloved presence for both of us. We are heartbroken and devastated by her loss. Shikiri, Maia’s siblings, our family and me appreciate your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

This is an incredibly tragic and terribly heartbreaking situation. I can’t imagine the kind of pain losing a child, especially such a young one, must cause.
It’s honestly beyond words what he must be going through right now.
Keyshawn, I’m so sorry to hear this. Heartbroken for you and yours.
