I need not to tell you now how much I Love you because I've always did while you where here with us. Do no MamaLaMess (Tara) will always think of you every moment of my life and hear your voice telling Ron, Chickie, Quenelle, Tresor,and myself how much Love we have for one another! Rest In Peace!

BREAKING NEWS: Celebrity publicist allegedly murdered in New York City; Sadia Morrison dead at age 26 (BlackPressMagazine.com) - June 16, 2008 - With the deaths of political talk show host Tim Russett, of PR maven Pat Tobin and others, it's been a difficult week for the media industry. Now comes news that Sadia Morrison, the well-known celebrity publicist and stylist to the stars, has died. She was 26 years old.
Morrison, whose client list has included boxer Zab Judah, rappers Kanye West, Plies and 50 Cents, as well as NFL running back Thomas Jones, among others, was allegedly murdered and thrown from the roof of a building in the Bronx section of New York City on Friday, June 13.
"I'm really hurt about this. Sadia had been through so much. To the outside world, she appeared to have a rough exterior, but I knew her as sweetheart," said DC Livers managing editor for Black Press Magazine and a friend of Morrison. "Just last week I was helping her produce video podcasts for her clients at the Harlem Hope Center. She was so excited to learn the new skills," said Livers, who interviewed some of Morrison's clients including Judah, Jones, and her friend and rap diva Charli Baltimore. The interviews appear on BlackPodcasts.com.
"The interview with Charli starts out with her saying "I came out today to show some love to my homegirl who set this whole thing up." Baltimore was referring to Morrison, who organized the celebrity PlayStation Tournament in the ESPN Room at Jay Z's 40/40 Club to help raise money for at-risk children," said Livers.
Rough Patch Morrison, who grew up in the Bronx River public housing projects in the Bronx, was involved in a melee at a nightclub with client NFL star Adam "Pacman" Jones. The incident left Tommy Urbanski, a club matron who was not involved in the melee, paralyzed for life.
Pacman Jones, the Tennessee Titans cornerback who was suspended by the National Football League following a triple shooting that took place at the Minxx strip club in Las Vegas on February 19, 2007 during the NBA All-Star Game weekend, surrendered to Nevada authorities along with bodyguard Robert Reid and Morrison. The group later accepted a plea bargin on reduced charges. Jones, who was drafted in April 2005 and had been arrested - but never convicted - five additional times prior to the Las Vegas incident, was recently sued by Urbanski for his injuries, according to a New York Daily News article published on April 19, 2008.
"I didn't know her when that happened, but I asked her once about it. Sadia seemed truly remorseful about the situation and seemed determined to make sure that she stayed on the right track. She was always at the Harlem Hope Center because she wanted to change her life and make sure that she used her story to help others," said Livers.
Friends became worried about Morrison when they hadn't heard from her. Morrison, who was said to have spent most of her day marketing her clients on Myspace, checking both her cell phones, replying to email on her Blackberry,last checked her Myspace account on Friday, June 13, 2008. She was a part of Outta Pocket Entertainment, a full service PR and event management company that is located at 307 West 38th in Manhattan that lists Thomas Jones as the CEO. Jones is currently expecting a child with actress Meagan Good.
Morrison is survived by her mother, two sisters and a brother.
Funeral services for Sadia Morrison, the 26-year-old celebrity publicist, have been set for Thursday, June 19 from 2 - 7 p.m. at Ortiz Funeral Home located 524 Southern Blvd., Bronx, New York 10455. Friends and family may call 718-585-5700. The funeral home is situated at 149th Street between Longwood and Southern.

RIP Sadia you will be missed i remember when we were at bmcc together and ur working on west 4th and u always told me bout your dreams and that u were goin to have ur own company. one thing that i really admire about u was that u were a TRUE HUSTLER. Looking at it now and seeing that u made your dreams come true and makes me KNOW that i can pursue my dreams u have given me that thought and ambition that i can do it to. I am SORRY that ur gone but ur live will be inspiration to alot of people. so although ur gone ur life still lives on in people that u may have not known that u have touched them. I know that when GOD opens them gates for u u will make your presence known. RIP and god bless your soul. Love ya,J
Sadia I knew you for a little over a year but you were like a little sister to me. You were one of the most loyal, supportive, giving and trustworthy people on this earth. I loved you as a friend and as a person and you will always be in my heart and soul. The world is a terrible place right now and I know God has you in his arms as we speak. I love and miss you homie! RIP
I didn't know you Sadie but after reading all the kind words that your family/ friends had to say about you I hurt dearly knowing that it wasn't easy to accomplish all that you had. To be taken from us in such a senseless act is just horrible. I will keep the torch lit in carving out our space in fashion and style. Mr. Joe Dues Himself...J
NO BEHALF OF THE FAMILY WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR COMIN OUT YESTERDAY. OUR DIVA IS GONE BUT NEVER WIIL SHE BE FORGOTTEN THANK EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. HER COUSIN TASHA
I didn't know this person, but this news makes me very sad. She seems like she had a lot going for herself, and she is an inspiration to me. Her accomplishments tell me that you can be whatever you want to be if you just work hard. I am so sorry this happened.
RIP Sadia. I always thought you were a friendly and sweet girl when we were growing up in the Bronx River Projects. I remember you always had those summer jam tickets and would invite us to go with you. You always had that eccentric style about you and a personality that would light up a whole room. You are in my thoughts and prayers and will be dearly missed.
I just heard the news today that I have family in New York and that I had cousins that lived in the Bronx!!! Then my cousin Brian tells me that Sadia is gone. At the same time good news and horrible news...that I did in fact have family here and then the f' bomb that someone killed her...I am so pissed off that a young woman that I had so much in common with is now gone. She had over come some obstacles and was on her way!!!It is a coincidence that we both loved the same things. I moved to New York to pursue my love of fashion, styling, marketing and P.R. and it would have been such a great honor to work with her, for her and helping her with whatever she needed. I am saddened by this loss and my condolences go out to my other family members, cousins Paul, Ronnie, and moms...whom I have yet to meet. I will be in touch.
Thank you for the love for my niece, I didn't realize that Sadia was so well liked. I knew she was talented and thought that she was going places with her talent for styling and profiling. May God rest her soul and She will be missed. Love Aunt Tarhia

OH MY GOD!!! I don't know why I never heard about this but Sadia had helped get my clothing placed on several athletes. I actually heard that a girl who was with Pacman at the vegas shootings was killed but I had no idea it was Sadia... Terrible tragedy. She was great at what she did.
I don't personally know Sadia but I read an article in a magazine just yesterday on her life and death. I was so inspired by what she did and was able to accomplish at such a young age. I was comforted in knowing that she had received Jesus Christ into her life weeks before her passing. My condolences go out to her family and friends. Based on the comments listed, I can tell she was definitely loved and someone very special. May God be with you all.
I just read the article 2day. Very heart felt. I'm sorry 4 your lost. Police need 2 be focusing on who did this. She had 2 much going 4 herself 2 want 2 end it.
