June 27, 2026, the day Iesha McMurray laid her two-year-old daughter Azora to rest, was also formally marked in Lauderhill, Florida, as “Iesha Sashawna McMurray Day,” a rare proclamation honouring her strength, resilience and unwavering devotion as a mother during a journey that captured hearts across borders.

The declaration was presented at the funeral by the twins’ godmother, Evangelist Phillips, who had travelled to Saudi Arabia during the children’s hospitalisation and stood alongside McMurray in some of her most difficult moments.

Phillips told mourners at Haile Selassie High School where the funeral was held that Mayor Denise D. Grant of the City of Lauderhill, was moved by McMurray’s extraordinary endurance through a deeply painful and public journey of love and loss.
