Donor Hero Deja’s Loved Ones Reflect on Her Legacy
Deja was not only a daughter to Sheresse Thompson – she was her best friend. She idolized her grandmother, Carol Joyner. She loved being a mother to Kai and best friend to Jason Butler.
When Deja passed away unexpectedly, everyone who loved her was not surprised to find out she was registered as an organ donor, especially since her grandmother was a living donor.
“My baby was the light. She was the light wherever she went.”
