Subject: In Memoriam: Dimone Long

Dear Knight Family,

It is with profound sadness that I share the passing of our beloved brother, Dimone Long.

A key part of our hearts and our Knight Family history now rests with God, but will never be forgotten. Dimone’s life and spirit are woven into the fabric of our shared journey—from the hallways of Ballou to the bonds that have carried us through the years. His presence, laughter, and love left an indelible mark on all who knew him, and his memory will continue to unite us as brothers and sisters in the Knight legacy.

Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. We ask that you lift up Sherrita, Jamie (Era), and Marie, along with his children, with your heartfelt prayers and wishes for love, comfort, and healing during this difficult time.

I am in contact with Sherrita and will share funeral and memorial arrangements with the Knight Family as soon as they are known.

💙💛 Karen

We have lost a Knight.

Karen Williams, a wife, mother, sister, cousin, grandmother and a friend
passed away yesterday morning, December 25. As we reflect on our memories of her, we know she was an advocate, staple and pillar in
the Hillcrest community and all of Ward 7. Her documented and demonstrated dedication to improving education in addition to her commitment to community, especially the Hillcrest Community, were unmatched. Please keep Earl Williams and the entire family in
your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Celebration-of-her life arrangements have not yet been finalized.
