The bond Toni Jacobs shared with her two children–Deavon and Keeshae–would have to be felt to be understood. To an outsider, the family of three could easily be mistaken for a group of close friends, as their bond was, without a doubt, in the same league.

Deavon was born on July 29, 1991, and Keeshae was born on August 6, 1995. In a way, single motherhood made Toni close with her children. However, it also gave her a sense of determination. Toni worked a variety of customer service jobs to help support her family and she made enough to keep their living situation stable and ideal. There was room for leisure too, as Toni regularly took Deavon and Keeshae to their favorite amusement park–King’s Dominion in Doswell, Virginia. Toni wanted her extended family to have a presence in the lives of her children as well. Because of this, the three would regularly visit their relatives on the coast.

Despite their age difference, Keeshae and Deavon were as close as a pair of siblings could get. Everyone was amused at how well they got along–their bond was unique for most brother and sister relationships.
