May God bless you and the family in this time of sorrow. I remember seeing you grow up as a beautiful little girl to a beautiful young woman. I hate to see you gone so soon. I know you are in the arms of our father God, and most of all with your beautiful grandmother. Rest easy baby girl. You will be truly missed. Love you always. Your Loving Auntie Manika and family.

Mariah was a light in the dark for many—fiercely beautiful, emotionally deep, and full of spirit even when the world didn’t always return the same energy. She loved hard, laughed loud, and lived fast. Whether you knew her for a season or a lifetime, she left a mark you couldn’t forget.
She had a smile that could calm storms, a voice that brought peace, and a heart that was bigger than the pain it carried. Mariah survived more than most will ever understand—fighting battles silently and still managing to show love, softness, and style. She never let struggle define her.
To those who truly knew her, she was a safe space and a wild soul all in one. She loved her music, her freedom, her people, and she carried herself like a poem only the brave could read.
Her story wasn’t perfect. She felt heartbreak, faced loss, and sometimes disappeared into herself. But she was still here, still trying, still showing up—even on her worst days. That alone is its own kind of strength.
To me—and to many—she was unforgettable.
I wear her name in silence. I carry her in every lyric, every memory, every breath I have left.
Visit her. Remember her. Say her name with love.
Mariah lives on in those she touched. She lives on in me.

Mariah was one of the most passionate and humble spirits I had the chance to get to know throughout our childhood and adulthood. She stayed being the life of the party, and taught my introverted self how to break out of my shell. I owe that to her, because I would not be as outgoing (but still very introverted) as I am today. She will forever be missed. Forever 25 flying high
