Julissiya was born on January 4, 2013 to her parents Julion Pope and Brittany Crayton. She is known as the "I Love You" child. It didn't matter if it had been two days or two minutes she would tell you she loved you. Julissiya was a daddy's girl and looked forward to seeing her big sister Keaja on the weekends. She enjoyed watching Par Patrol, dressing up with Briana and Coloring. When the weather permitted you could find Julissiya driving around the yard, in her battery powered red car listening to her favorite song "JuJu on the Beat", and being chased by her two younger siblings. She was excited about starting school this coming fall and looked forward to getting on the bus like the big kids. Julissiya also enjoied going to church on Sundays with Briana at SouthHaven Baptist Church.
