Rachelle, my friend. My sister. I’m so incredibly sorry. I will love you and miss you til the end of my days. We were born just 8 days apart 48 years ago. No matter where you were, I’ve always felt you. In my heart and part of my soul. You LIVED Ladonna Rachelle. So full of life. You left us too too soon love. Finally….rest. I pray for your peace angel. My deepest, most sincerest condolences to you family and your children. All my love.
To her loved ones; Our legacy is really the lives we touch, the inspiration we give, altering someone’s plan—if even for a moment—and getting them to think, rage, cry, laugh,argue… Walk around the block, dazed… More than anything, we are remembered for our smiles; the ones we share with our nearest and dearest, and the ones we bestow upon a total stranger, who needed it RIGHT THEN, and God put you there to deliver.Ladonna gave something special to the lives of everyone she knew and her legacy WILL live on in the hearts of all of us.To her parents; I never got to meet you but she spoke often of you with so much love and respect. Its because of you that tiny little body had the heart of a lion. She made me a better person. Thank you for blessing us with such a unique and special woman…To her children; You were everything to your mother. She wasn’t always perfect, but her heart was in the right place and she loved you all so so much. You were your mommas reason to keep going every day. Never forget how much you truly meant to her…To Ladonna; You and I had some wonderful memories together (though, I wish we could’ve made more). Our buddy, “L” once said it best, “When those 2 come through, you’ll know it. Like a force of nature.” Your reply was “yeah, like a natural disaster.” Funny but true. You had the best sense of humor We had a one of a kind connection i will never find again. One of the last times i saw your face, it was through your rearview mirror. It was a bad day for us both and we butted heads, you left so mad and so quick you nearly ran me over with your suv on accident. Then, a few days later you showed up at my house to tell me you couldn’t leave things like that and then you gave me a big hug. I cried. We ended up sitting on my bed, talking all night about all sorts of things until the next morning then we both fell asleep laughing. It my last memory of you. I am grateful we reconciled our friendship before you left this place. I just wish you would’ve listened to me when I told you to stay away from him. You were a shining light who deserved better. I warned you there was something wrong with him. You told me you were a big girl and he wasn’t so bad, but I felt the evil around him you laughed at me when i told you i was afraid something bad was going to happen.Now you’re gone. We will never have the blessing of being in the presence of your sweet spirit again. I came back to town last week to pick up daddys ashes. Then yesterday I saw Jenny and she told me what happened, it just felt unreal, I am in shock, this is just devistating. I’ve lost many loved ones in my life. Its always difficult to say goodbye, but this tragedy will weigh heavy on my heart for the rest of my life. I hope you knew what you meant to us all…I love you pretty girl.
LaDonna , I’m so sorry this happened to you . You truly deserved better . My heart goes out to your family and friends, you will not be forgotten! Love you , see you soon …. Tommy Johnson
I hated to hear that you were taken away from here so soon, and in such a tragic way. We had some fun and crazy times, with a lot of laughs, growing up, back in our Garland days. Thank you for the memories. Kim, I am so sorry, sending hugs and prayers to you, your mom, Rachelle’s kids, and to the rest of your family.
RIP Chica

We had some amazing adventures back in the day. We had a lot of fun back then… shopping at Walmart… driving around at night w/ the sunroof & windows open feeling the night’s air in our face w/ the music blasting… it was in moments like that when we really connected. We’d talk for hours about life, love, music, movies, & play the 6 degrees of separation game… “Wait… how in the hell do you know _____?!?!?!” Your infectious smile & laughter would brighten up a room. I’m sorry that life got in the way & that kept us from crossing paths in recent years, but I always enjoyed talking to you on the phone & telling you about my woman drama. You always seemed to help me keep things in perspective. You’re an awesome woman. Visit me in my dreams from time to time so we can talk.
Our times on the rec yard are forever in my heart and memories. The times we shared together were great and I thank you for helping our time go as fun as one could have at that time in that situation. The wisdom and advice you shared with me regarding me I have never forgotten. As a matter of fact I will recall you declaring that “I was a Tree” ( Strong, sturdy and powerful) just like it was yesterday. Honey, You are a “Tree” your self, for it takes one to know one.To the family my heart and prayers are consistently with you. You are beautiful people. God bless each of you.
I am seriously going to miss you Ladonna. You were a dear friend of mine. I valued your company. When you spoke to me, I listened. I always felt that you had my best interests at heart. Safe and protected, I lost track of my problems when we spent time together. And hot damn, you were one excellent chef, ooh wee! I’ll always treasure my memories of you. God bless you, and I’ll see you again!
I was saddened to hear of your sudden passing. I’m remembering all the love and laughter in our younger years. It is comforting to know of your Faith in Jesus. You will continue to live in your children. May the Lord lift up your family and may you rest peacefully.Cathy Garcia Larkin – cousin
