One of the people inspired by Dezare’s life and actions for other is her sister, Brenda Ramon.
“She had that mentality. If it’s put in my heart, I need a follow through. So I felt if it’s put in my heart, I need a follow through,” Ramon said.
Walking in her sister’s footsteps, Brenda has been piecing together community projects, like a recent backpack drive, to help anyone in need.
“That’s what we want to continue generation after generation by continuing her legacy, her foundation, her organization in her spirit to keep it alive,” Ramon said.
As her sons, parents, sister and many people whose lives she touched carry on without her, they take comfort that they are carrying her with them.
“I’m glad the world gets to know how great she was,” Joshua said,
“She may have only lived to 35, but she lived a full life,” Dez’s father said.
