Donjae Elysse Lea Patterson I’m sorry Mommy I left you so soon, I was there when the angels woke you up in the room…I know I was gone in a flash, right from the start…Mommy Remember! I’ll always be in your heart! Donjae Elysse Lea Patterson was born on April 13, 2000 to Lea Patterson and Donald Patterson in Denver, Colorado. She was the third of four daughters. Her family and close friends affectionately called her Jae`- Jae`. Donjae attended Prairie Middle School and was in the 7th grade. She received a Certificate of Continuation; she was an Honor Roll Student and voted Student of the Month by her classmates. Donjae was loved by her teachers and classmates. She loved school and looked forward to attending! She attended the AIM Convention in Houston, Texas and actually got to attend the live recording for one of her favourite groups, the Clark Sisters. She was a member of the Odom Memorial Sunshine Band and Youth Choir and most importantly a faithful Member and supporter of Pastor McDonald! Donjae had the attitude that she could accomplish anything she set her mind to do. At a very early age, she was on a mission, it always seemed as though she had somewhere to go! There were times she walked so much, everyone in the house would tell her she had a “Walking spirit on her.” She shared many holidays, birthdays and the infamous “Just because McDonald Parties” with her family! She loved to eat, chocolate chip cookies from McDonald’s and especially loved her grandfather’s gumbo and homemade waffles! She always looked forward to the Snickers from her Uncle Rene! As a toddler, Donjae enjoyed being outside with her Dad helping in the yard; she loved being outdoors and going to the park. Donjae’s favourite pass-time was watching movies and listening to music. She could spend hours watching her two favourite movies Hannah Montana and Secretariat and she did not mind asking everyone to be quiet or to move out of her way! She loved being with family, going to parties and cherished spending quality time with her mom and sisters! Donjae enjoyed going to Disney World and Disney Land. She enjoyed listening to music…Yes…even Donjae had a crush on Justin Beiber! Donjae loved to look FABULOUS, and loved the camera; she was always Photo Bombing in everyone’s picture! From a little girl, she would always sit and cross her legs with her hands positioned on her knee in just the right place. While she was definitely a DIVA, she was not your typical little girl.
