On June 21, 2026 God blessed LaKeshia Jones and Broderick McClendon with a beautiful baby girl by the name of Blessence Sanye McClendon in Dallas, Texas. Although, the angel graced our presence but for only a brief moment, she still experienced a lifetime of love. During her 2 hours and 50 mins with us, she felt the warmth of her mother’s embrace, heard the sounds of our voices and knew that she was deeply cherished. She was held close, showered with kisses, and enveloped in the absolute warmth of her mother’s love.

She brought an immeasurable amount of light into our world, and her tiny footprint and beautiful face left a permanent mark on our hearts. She know only love, tenderness and comfort during her short time earth on earth side.

Blessence is deeply loved and will forever be missed by her devoted parents LaKeshia Jones and Broderick McClendon Jr.; her big sister Sevyn McClendon; grandparents: Qukesha Jones & Brandon Knight, Broderick McClendon, and Annquisha Armstrong; great grandparents: Latrice Jones & Leslie Gayston, Alma Knight & Henry Knight, Debra McClendon & Bobby McClendon, Rolunda Lampkin & Simuel Norice; (3) aunts: Qukesha Jones, Journy Ford and Samaiyah McClendon; (2) uncles: Jordan Foster & Bro’Darian McClendon along with a host of other family.
