You have been gone over a year now. Yet I still hear of all the love you left behind. You were a blessing to all that knew you

I am so sorry for the tragic loss of precious Kailey. I came to this site after your post in the guestbook of our memorial site for our granddaughter. Kailey is an absolutely beautiful child.
Maybe our 8-year old Alexis, who went to Heaven 3 years ago, was there to show Kailey around when she arrived. Alexis was always good at making people feel right at home, and she and Kailey are close to the same age.
I know the pain of losing a child is something no parent or grandparent should ever know, but sometimes it just happens. God calls them Home again. And we are left with a hole in our hearts that has no end. There isn't a day that goes by that we don't feel the loss. And we wish they were still here, with us.
I was so angry with God when Alexis died...But even so, I knew He had her in His strong and loving arms, and had made her whole again. I knew the moment she died that she was happy and very much loved in Heaven. I could feel it in my soul.
What I have learned in the last three years, is that after a while, the pain becomes more bearable. It never completely goes away, but we learn that the happiness and memories continue to live on in our hearts to warm us, and they help God's love see us through ... even in the darkest of times.
I'm thankful for the wonderful memories I have of my time with Alexis, just as I know you are of your time with Kailey.
We have certainly been blessed to have had these children as part of our lives.
You and your family, and especially Kailey, are in my prayers.
Every day I ask God to give Alexis a hug for me.
Today, I'll ask Him to give Kailey a special hug too.
~Kris Smith, Alexis' Grandma Kris

i am extremly sorry for your loss. no, i dont know you, but i recently lost someone, and i sort of know what you are going through, but since i am not a mother, not really. what i like to think is that, you didnt really lose her, because she is still with you everyday. her life here on earth is physically over, but she is in your memory and you family's memories, and just by that she lives on.
you have my deepest sympathy's.
god bless.

I am so very sorry for your lost. I can only remind you that Kailey is dancing in Heaven with all the beautiful angels surrounding her. I have a little girl that was born on Oct. 1, 1997, and though she is sleeping in bed right now, I am mourning for your beautiful angel. May God find you tonight, and all the nights following. May your special angel stand by your side. God bless you and your family will always be in my prayers.

My heart is weeping for you, with knots in my throat. This was hard to read, I have young children of my own, and I cannot pretend to know how you feel. All I can say is that I regret so much that you had to experience something so painful and unforgettable. I don't know what your beliefs are, but everyday that you walk this earth, know that God and your little girl are right beside you. God bless your heart!

My heart goes out to you for your tragic loss. I so very nearly lost my eldest daughter when she was 3, so I can only imagine your feelings. Kailey was a beautiful girl and I can see why you were so proud of her. I hope you don't mind me sharing with you the one thought that I clung on to when I really believed that I was losing my own daughter, it was that although my child was very young nevertheless her short life was filled with happiness and laughter, and she knew that she was loved dearly. I feel the same is true of your daughter, and I hope this is of some small comfort to you.
Yours respectfully,
God Bless,

I'm very sorry my condolence to you and your family "GOD BLESS YOU KAILEY"

Dearest Mema,
You don't know me, My daughter was in Kailey's class at school.
I just wanted to let you know that we can know for sure we will go to heaven.
John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only son, whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." see God is a holy God, And just by nature we are wicked and sinful, so to redeem man God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross for our sins.
1 Peter 3:18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous , to bring you to God.
Praying for you,
Shannon

Kay Bay I long to hear your voice, your laugh. Longing to be with you. Love Mema. save me a spot by you. Explain to God that I need to be with you. hugs kisses and Loves

Well my little girl this year the fireworks wont be the same without you. I hope you get a different view from up there than we have down here.Life goes on but sometimes it goes so slow, other times very fast. I miss you today as much as I missed you the moment you passed away, I still can not believe you are gone. No answer will ever be given to me that I will or can understand why you are gone. I am trying so hard to fill the hurt and loss with joy of you. Love your Mema hugs and kisses my girl.

Dearest Rochelle and family,
Although words are often helpful during these times we all wish that we could erase what we are living, you don't know me but I was @ the Hospital the night Kailey was brought in ..And to stand there and feel your pain was all I could do , I knew there was nothing I could say to comfort any of you, although my Heart was breaking, my son was very ill when I was there that night. We Went home only to end up back there on March 24th , and he passed the next day.. And All I could remember to tell him was to take care of Kailey when you get there..I think for me I am still in the denial phase but could not help but come here for I so strongly felt your pain that night.. But, I just wanted you to know that someday we will be with them again..And that my heart and prayers go out to you ,Kailey, and all of your family..Sincerely Jennifer

Kailey, I did not know you very well but I am your Nana Carol's best friend and I know how much you are loved and missed by all your family and friends. I know you are in heaven with Jesus and you will never be sick again. Someday you will be reunited with all your family. Until then you will be helping Jesus get a place in heaven ready for the rest of us. You are such a sweet little girl and now you are one of God's little angels. Love and blessings, Aunt Barbara

In rememberance of my first great granddaughter, I will forever remember her as a laughing and fun loving child. I will always remember the times I sang to her when she was first learning to talk, and she would try to repeat the words to the songs. The last time I talked to her on the phone , she asked "Nana when are you coming back to Indiana." I'm looking forward to day when I can enter into heaven and be with my loved ones once again. Love and will miss you until we see each other again. Your Nana Scott in Phoenix, Az

To all of you Thank You so much from our family. If there is one thing to be learned from Kailey's passing is how some foods and drinks can be posion just like rat posioning. Kailey got into some hot cocoa and it had milk in it which she was highly alergic to, all it took was a little taste to take her life away from us. Please learn about allergies and asthma as she was highly alegric to smoke also. We watched Kailey grow and learn about her alergies. She would read all the ingredents on every package she wanted to eat. It was tottaly amazing to watch her grow to read some of those ingredents as her first words. Please learn about allergies as they are very deadly.... I will miss my granddaughter to the end of my days on this earth. I Love you Kay. I love You. Lets dance one more time to 80's ladies. Love Me-Ma

I didn't see kailey very much, but when I saw her she was always in a good mood. She loved being with me and she loved being in my room. My favorite memory of Kailey is when she was playing Super Mario 64, and she erased all the saved files, I was upset with her, but she look me and said sorry over and over again, she wouldnt stop. And of course I forgave her! We will miss you Kailey. Love Jamie

My little brother went to school with Kailey. I saw the sadness in his eyes as he told be about what happened. I remember the day she called him on the phone to talk, and how happy he was. And now I all I see in his sadness. Despite his sadness, I can only imagine the pain and suffering that this tragedy has caused your family. This is intended to send my deepest heartfelt sympathies to your family. The entire town feels for you, and wishes you strength during the saddest of times.

I want you to know that Kailey was the most smiling child to come into my office. I saw Kailey on a daily basis from scraps to needing a hug. I bandaged her boo boos and she bandaged my day. I want you to know that you are in my heart and in my prayers. A few weeks ago, Kailey came running up to me because she drew me a picture in art. The back says...Kailey...Love me...It remains on my wall. I miss her so much already. Nurse Vicky
