The family and community continue to mourn the tragic loss of De’Ja Lakia Bolden and Ade’Ja Bolden, whose passing has left an indescribable void. Both young women were cherished daughters, sisters, cousins, and friends, remembered not only for their voices in the family choir but also for the laughter, strength, and love they shared with those around them.
Loved ones recall De’Ja as the family’s strongest Alto, known for her vibrant spirit and protective nature, and Ade’Ja as a gifted Soprano whose joyful energy lit up every room she entered. Their presence brought harmony not only in music but in life.
Their legacy lives on most profoundly through the children they leave behind, who reflect so much of their mothers’ personalities. Family members describe these little ones as daily reminders of both De’Ja and Ade’Ja — blessings that keep their memory alive.
Despite the deep pain of loss, the family holds on to cherished memories. Stories of De’Ja’s humor, Ade’Ja’s bold personality, and the countless moments of shared laughter now serve as comfort. “I laugh at times to keep from crying,” one family member shared, “but I know they hear me when I talk to them. That’s what keeps me going.”
As the Bolden family continues to navigate their grief, they ask for prayers and support from the community. While their absence is felt deeply, loved ones take solace in knowing De’Ja and Ade’Ja rest safely in the arms of their Heavenly Father.
