Memories

gone but not forgotten

don't grieve for me,for now i'm free. I'm folllowing the path God laid for me;I took his hand when I heard Him call,I turned my back and left it all; I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work or play; Tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that place at the close of the day; If my parting has lft a void, Then fill it with remebered joy; A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, ah yes, this i too will miss; Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow; My life's been full, i savored much, Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch; Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief; Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free~~~~~ WE LOVE AND MISS YOU SOOO SO SO MUCH KHIA!

In loving Memory

Please don't allow people to persuade you into rumors, lies or the media's spin on anything. God is everywhere and knows all things. Knowledge is power ...

Drugs ruled out in death of 'K-Swift'

September 23, 2008

A toxicology report revealed a "small amount of alcohol" and no drugs in the body of the late Baltimore Club DJ Khia "K-Swift" Edgerton, said Dr. David R. Fowler, chief medical examiner. In July, Edgerton, 29, dove into her swimming pool and did not resurface. Neck injuries were ruled the cause of death.

********

I will continue to pray on the concerns behind all of this and hope that you know that I truly miss her and will be a dedicated fan, advocate, friend for life.

Please let me know if a foundation or scholarship fund will be something established in her name. I would like to be apart on anything making this happen. Bringing my own funds to table is no problem for this cause.

I am still under the belief that Ms. Dixon owes Khia the Keys to the City. And will begin campaigning behind this effort, too. (This is an honorary measure because Khia had asked for them. Ms. Dixon told the story at her services but nonetheless did not follow through.)
