On Sept 13th, 2009, my beautiful sister Nakketa Smith 31 was murdered by her ex-husband. Before he killed Nakketa he stoked, raped, and harrased her. For 16 horrific days my family, along with Texas Eqqu-Search, many volunteers, realtors, police and local Media, searched weeded areas, abandon apartments hoping to find her alive. Regretably, Nakketa’s future was stolen and our lives forever changed. Nakketa’s children was placed into DHS custody and Foster Care system. The children asked if they could live with me, and they didnt want to be split from one another? I immediately said yes, but now I had to meet Foster Care bed requirements. I relocated from my 1 bedroom condo into a larger house. Since Nakketa’s death, her children and I had to relocate three times in one year. Once because he killed my beautiful sister in her 5 bedroom home. Although our family shared a lot of good memories in her home, I have a hard time accepting he shot my sister especially someone as caring as Kita, and now it’s unbearably depressing to look at or ever live in that house again. Because I was not financially prepared to care for three additional children, and pay two mortgage payments, the bank foreclosured on my sister’s house.

Recently, Nakketa’s 16 yr old daughter was diagnosed with brain cancer. At this point, in order to take care of her, I knew I had to make a decision to relocate again and combine my two families into one house. I dont understand why God have allowed us to endure so much pain in such a short time, but I know I’m standing on legs borrowed from God, because I want to give up every day. It’s devastating to helplessly watch my niece go through losing her mother and best friend, now suffer in pain with this illness and sink into deeper depression. My sister April moved from Dallas to help me take care of our niece.
Unfortunately, April’s job didn’t extend her FMLA, now she and her daughter live with us too, until she find a job.

These unexpected tragic life changes, come along with increased responsibilties thats very overwhelming and stressfull for all of us. I try but I have a difficult time being productive as a Realtor because, I cant stand to hear a phone ring, that sound takes me back to thc day my husband and people called to say my sister’s house was being taped off by police. For a year now my family, and I have had to spend our time in court getting father’s to release their parental rights, for guardianship, court dates for that killer, probate court, and adoption procedures. I dont know when or how we will be able to grieve our loss and get closure.

My sister’s children miss their mother, Nakketa was a very happy loving fun mother, who loved her life and family. She was our families fashion Diva, who would have a different hairstyle over night. Nakketa had every thing good to live for, all of her children are very talented. My niece was a sprital dancer, her eleven yr old son use to sing at church and school talent shows, both of the children performed at her funeral. Nakketa’s 6yr old refused to go to his mother’s funeral. Her 6 yr old son cries all the time because he was extremely close to her. Nakketa’s 11 yr old son have a hard time accepting this because he wanted to touch her soft skin one more time, he said. But her body was decomposed, he didn’t get closure. While at the funeral home, Nakketa’ eleven year old son asked the funeral director, if his mother had clothes on her body? He replied, “No…we wrapped her in fabric like a mummy.” Her son cried, he wanted to see his mother again.

Nakketa’ life ended to soon, my son’s and I was not suppose to carry my baby sister’s casket and leave her in a grave.

Please help us stop domestic violence. I plan to start a foundation in honor of Nakketa(Kita), named Kids In Their Aunts House Foundation. Kita, was Nakketa nick name.

My mother loss a daughter and friend, my 3 son’s and daughter loss a caring aunt, I loss a sister bond who loved unconditional, encouraged everyone, she completed my life. With such a loss, its hard daily to move on, but I hear her words of encouragement.

Please select my family for an extreme home makeover, our 3bd Rm home is extremely crowded with 9 people and our lives are disarray? My family realize we have many unplanned challenges to overcome, but we are overwhelmed with sorrow, anger, embrassed, and frustrated that we’re forced in such a vulnerable position to need help, but we are appreciative for everyone.
