In Loving Memory of

"Latoya Monique Love"

Born September 7, 1976, in New Orleans, Louisiana, she was a shy but loving baby and young girl. She confessed her belief in God at an early age

and acknowledged that God had the final say in her health crisis. She served our Heavenly Father until her death. Latoya attended St. Phillip

Elementary School, Fannie C. Williams Middle School, St. Mary's Academy and Seaton Academy. She was active in the drama club, 4H club, and the math club.

Memphis, TN where she started designing clothing, specializing in T-Shirts. She and her friend Robert Mays opened a Fire Works stand in

Memphis. During Covid 19, she became sick with covid, which exposed a heart defect. Covid weakened her heart further. After more damage to her

heart, it was functioning at 20% which qualified her to be entered onto a heart transplant list. Unfortunately, her heart was too weak to withstand the

wait.
