Kiara, it's been 5 years already and I can still see your beautiful smile and remember how bright your eyes would light up as we all went around and hugged and greeted each other in church. May you continue to rest in paradise.

Dear Family of Kiara Smith:

You have my heartfelt condolence in the passing of Kiara. She and my daughter, Elvenor "Broomie" Perry were in class together at Merrillville High. Kiara loved Broomie and always welcomed her when she was able to visit school. Broomie transitioned July,2011. I have a picture on my refrigerator of the class with Kiara. Another classmate welcomed Kiara. May God bless and help you through these times.

My deepest sympathies to your family. I loved having Kiara ride my bus 71. She was always a joy for Georgie and myself. I remember when you had her 16th birthday party. My hubby took some of the pictures. We lost Georgie almost 2 years ago to a pulmonary embolism. I know she was one of the people there to great Kiara. She loved her so much. Kiara was always such a special angel. Now she has her wings. Toni Josleyn

To LaTonya and Kia,
Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal. Kiara will always be remembered for her beautiful smile. She loved life and most of all her family. We will miss her.

Annette and family.
