Our hearts are broken. To watch you from afar grow into this wonderful young lady was a joy. We are incredibly grateful to have spent time with you when you visited and during the family reunion. We are going to miss that undeniable ' I am woman, hear me roar' strength you had. S.I.P., beautiful niece. When you get to your new address, let everyone know who you are. We'll miss you, Uncle Eddie and Aunt Hattie

We all started off as friends. As time passed, we became a family of sisters. We are so heartbroken but also very thankful to have been blessed with Khaniyah as part of our lives. She showed us strength, perseverance and an unapologetically, fierce love of life. Khaniyah will be truly missed in the office, at payday lunch day, karaoke and at all of our dinners and outings but mostly, she will be missed in our saddened hearts... She will always be loved by The Nuvance Sisterhood, The Fishbowl & Sacred Sistas

Khaniyah was always happy and smiling as she buzzed around her VAS classrooms. She was a special person even at such a young age. My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time. Mrs. Ellis

Khanyiah, I will miss you my friend.We didnt know each other very long, but you were always the burning light in the Poughkeepsie office. Your kindness and thoughtfulness meant so much. Your laughter and wit made each day. I know you are in a special place and someday we will all meet again. Debbie Berrios

Southern OB will never be the same without you, Khaniyah. We are all so lucky to have worked with you for 993 days (she reminded us daily how many days she was with our office:) You put your heart and soul into taking the best care of our patients and I will be forever grateful for you. Even on the tough days your light would shine and you could make us laugh. You faced your health challenges with grace and showed up everyday with a smile and a song. Our hearts are broken. I will miss you forever♥️ Rest in peace, my friend.

I am deeply sorry for your loss.Khaniyah was a wonderful fun person who touched the lives of many. May you find strength and solace in the memories you shared together. 🕊️🙏🏾♥️

Sending My DEEPEST condolences to the entire Mack Family. So sorry for your tremendous loss. Even though Khaniyah was here for only a short time, she definitely lived a full life! Junie and Lisa you guys did a great job! I had the pleasure, honor and privilege of meeting Miss Khaniyah for the first time on our family cruise to Hawaii in 2023. She left a lasting and loving impression on all of us. Khaniyah was a genuine, beautiful and fun-loving young lady with a huge personality. Sleep in Peace Little Cousin. Love you, Cousin Valerie

I'll miss you my beautiful little sister. Your companion and bright smiles will forever be a stain on my heart. I'm trying to be strong but it hurts. Thankyou for every moment I was blessed to share with you. I'll never forget you for as long as I live and beyond that as well.

Khaniyah is a soul that will be forever missed but truly will never be forgotten. She lit up every room she walked in to. Being able to know her the last 3 years is one of the biggest blessings this job ever gave me. The way she would hug me or bring her microphone up to me and start singing every time she saw me. The way we would talk about life or anything really. Her bubbly personality truly stood out. I'll miss her cheetah lovin self so much but I know she will always be looking over everyone. My condolences go out to her family who she always spoke very highly about. I couldn't imagine what you are going through but just know you have our endless support through this time and you truly raised an amazing woman who truly left a mark on this world.

Khaniyahhhhh!! I Was Already Missing You Before God Needed You. Now Imma Miss You Even More. I Appreciate God For Placing You Into My Heart Because Thats Where You Will Always Be. I Love You Beautiful Cheetah Queen. There Is Not Enough Words To Express Deeply How I Feel About You. Sleep In Paradise Friend. So Bittersweet Because You've Always Been An Angel. But To Have You Now Really Watching Over Me With Valerie I Feel Extra Protected. I Miss Your Smile Your Laugh And Most Importantly Your Singing. Shine Bright Up There Like You Always Did Down Here. I Love You So Much. With So Much Love, Tiyona *

I been trying to put together the right words to share but no words seem to come together right to express how I am so sorry for your lost however I do want the whole Mack family to know that I'm sending my sincere and deepest condolences and I'm lifting you all up in prayer for strength and comfort at this difficult time. Love Always Detra & Family 🙏🏽

I am so deeply saddened to find out the world lost such an amazing soul. Amazing is an understatement. I remember the way Khaniyah made me feel, and she always brought happiness and joy to my soul. I can still hear her laugh and it's been over a decade since I've heard her. We had some classes in high school together and she treated everyone so kindly and opened her heart to the world. Khaniyah will be truly missed and heaven gained back their angel. Rest easy sweet girl, you'll always be remembered.

I worked with Khaniyah many, many years ago at REAL Skills when she was in high school and I was in college. And now all these years later I can so clearly remember her spirit and joy that she brought to our program every day. She is truly one of a kind and will always have a special place in my heart. My condolences to her family and friends.

My little "K Rock." I named Khaniyah that when she was a little girl because we would dance the night away during summer barbecues at Auntie Trina's, the Joseph-Murray home. She was a ray of light then and grew up to be a beautiful young woman; poised, driven and full of life and dreams. I share my heartfelt condolences with Junie, Lisa, Keisha, Keyshawn and the entire Mack family. My family is praying for you all; now and always. May God's unchanging hand comfort and hold you close. With love and deepest sympathy, Dianne Martin and Family

Today, we remember someone who brought sunshine wherever she went. She wasn't just a coworker—she was a spark of joy, a constant source of laughter, and a friend to all. She had a voice that filled our hallways with music, a smile that brightened even the hardest days, and a heart that always made room for others. She sang without hesitation—sometimes for us, sometimes for the patients, often just because the moment called for a little more happiness. She was bold, hilariously witty, and unapologetically herself—and in doing so, gave us all permission to be a little more ourselves, too. It feels impossible that someone so vibrant, so full of life and love, could be gone. She was taken far too soon, and none of us were ready to say goodbye. But we are so grateful for the time we shared. Grateful for the laughter, the joy, the realness she brought to every day. She reminded us—without ever trying—that life is meant to be lived out loud, with humor, heart, and a whole lot of music. We'll carry her light with us. We'll sing, we'll laugh, we'll love—because she did. And in that way, she's still here. My Khaniyah-licious, Forever loved, and never forgotten. Rest easy, my sweet friend. ❤️ To the Mack family—my deepest condolences during this heartbreaking time. You raised an amazing young woman who touched so many lives with her spirit, kindness, and joy. My heart is with you all ❤️ - Patti Bertone

Everyone at Violet Avenue School are saddened to hear this news. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. We have so many memories of Khaniyah. She will live on in our hearts.

I remember Khaniyah from when she was a beautiful little girl. I remember she stopped by for a visit many years ago I couldn't believe it was her! She had grown up and had blossomed into a gorgeous young lady, she actually had to tell me who she was, she stayed for a while telling me and my husband about what she had been doing all these years she had been away. I was so proud and happy for her, and she was happy and confident a pure ray of light and I loved that for her. My deepest condolences to her family and friends The Butler family

My condolences to your family. She brought such joy to everyone who met her. She really is singing in the angels choir. The world has lost such a kind soul.

I had the honor to Khaniyah's teacher for 2 years. She was a ray of sunshine each day she came to school . There are certain people that you come across that are just beautiful. She was one of those people to me . I always felt important when speaking to her and her words always reminded me to be more positive about everything . I feel lucky to have known Khaniyah and feel like I was better off because of her. She taught me more about life than I ever taught her. I miss you Khaniyah but will always carry you with me.- Mr. Daniels or as Khaniyah called me- "Mr.D.".

I send my Heartfelt condolences to the Mack family. Please know you are in my heart. 🙏🏾 Eric Richburg

There are no words that can express your loss. Our deepest condolences from my family to yours. Khaniyah will always be singing "I'm going down"by Mary J. Blige in my head..😄😘🙏💕💕🕯 🕯..Miss Andrea as she would always called me.. RIP 🙏

Khaniyah you were a coolest person ever when we used to work together during the TJ Maxx days you always brought positive energy and was always a happy person everytime we worked together - Shaq

Khaniyah always brought a smile to my face. I will always cherish when she serenaded me at my baby shower. My heart hurts knowing I will no longer share laughter and silly moments with her ever again. -Jannera Cruz
