I remember her beautiful spirit and smile and her words of encouragement. She was live and love to dance and serve God and her family... We love and Miss You Queen Mother NEGESTI
This memorial website was created in the memory of our Mother, Janice "Gail" aka "Mother NEGESTI" Wright-Millsap who was born on August 4, 1950 and passed away on October 12, 2004. We will remember her forever.
She was a great Mother, Grandmother, Daughter, Sister, Aunt, Niece, Cousin, Friend & Church Member (The Shrine of The Black Madonna). Not a day go by that we don't miss her & think about her.
She was blessed with 8 beautiful kids... Melody "Tabia" (who preceded her in death), Ndegwa, Zizwe "Oboi", Tarik, Tuere "Maia", Malkia "Aisha", Rashida and Rayshon "Lateef". A beloved husband Dwayne "Zaid" Millsap and 4 stepchildren, Tramira, Anthony, Marquita and Aswad; a son-in-law Booker (Abdallah). She loved her grandchildren, Ndegwa, TiAmari, Tymari, Navaugh, Asiyah, Ishara, Nasir, Ataje, Anaya, Kamaria, Zariyah, Tony, Messiah, Zion, Amir & Janai we wished that she would've met all of them.
Feel free to leave comments, a tribute or even a story about our mom...
Thank You,
Aisha

I really miss my cousin the long night conversations educating me on how to make the family stronger. Giving me daily advice on how to be a better me. Always putting others first before herself showing her younger cousins how to be unselfish. We all we remember how she gave to us until the end. We miss you and love you...SHOES TO BIG TO FILL R.I.P.

HAZEL UPSHAW CARREKER: AUNT
SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LAWER, SHE COULD OUT TALK ANYBODY. SHE ALWAYS GAVE A POINT OF VIEW THAT COULD RADIATE ALL THROUGH YOUR MIND AND GET YOU TO THINKING. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HER AS GAIL. THAT'S ALL I'VE EVER KNOWN.
