Jamiyah was born November 4, 2000, and called home to be with God on October 28. 2004. Her life was claimed by an careless act of gun violence. She was a powerhouse of energy. She was always smiling and never turned away from a camera, even if it was only a pretend one. Though she was only 4, Ja’Miyah Nicole Butler made it known that she preferred to wear mostly skirts and dresses, and that she liked to have her hair done. The little girl with the beautiful smile sassy personality smart 4 year old fighter, lol. She loved to start trouble with people bigger than her. I wonder how would life be with you here~ how would you be if you was here.

In The Eyes of Quiana Butler 

God had other plans for us so as I got older I realize u are in a better place. I’ll never be ready for this day I try to get prepared. How can you do that when u lost somebody you gave birth too. My heart start beating fast, the overflow of tears start rolling down your eyes and my body just go numb. Everyone say I’m strong. “I’m not strong!” I just put on a mask. I’m hurting in the inside and I can’t stop it. Ja’miyah as u know I’m missing u like crazy down here me. Your little sister Ceonnah know you would have been a good big sister. A place of love and peace. I just wanted you here, more then anyone will every know. My heart will never be the same. I’m not the same but I’m learning. Please keep watch over me, your sister, and the entire family. We need it!  My personal angel. I love you with everything in me and more. See you soon. I’ll never put “rest-in-peace” at your name. Twenty-plus long years of my life without you my first love.
