Not sure what to say?

Today is one year since you passed, and I can confidently say it has been the worst year of my life. I often don't know what to say when people talk about you, and if I see or hear something that reminds me of you, because how are you gone? still can't wrap my head around that. It all still feels so fresh. A lot of people are grieving you today, and we will always miss you, but we will also always love you. I am so sorry that things had to have ended this way, and I am so sorry I didn't do...

she loved her friend Braulio!

A very special girl who was beautiful inside and out. She will be forever missed and remembered .

May God give you strength and comfort during this difficult time. Sending condolences and prayers to her family and friends. I am so saddened to hear about your tragic loss. Kaley could bring a smile to anyone’s face and loved unconditionally. She truly was a beautiful soul and is terribly missed. I can’t imagine what you’re going through. I recently had a cancer scare and started watching NDE (near death experience) videos which were tremendously comforting and convincing. Especially Tony...

Kaley would light up a room when she would walk in , Kaley is the type of person to check up on you even when she was struggling the most. She made me a better person and I will continue to be a good person for her she never failed to keep me in check. She was so sweet and funny I remember at the roller skating rink we bumped into eachother and just laughed and laughed , I will miss you so much gorgeous. Prayers and condolences go out to your family.

Kaley was one of the sweetest people ive ever known. I used to call her Kaley Bug. She would always run up to me and hug me, she never failed to make me laugh. She was always there for me, no matter what. Kaley was always the highlight of my mornings even when i had bad days she was there to make me laugh and smile. She always said how much she loved and cared for her friends and that will always stick with me.
i love you so much Kaley bug, words cant describe how much i miss you. Rest...

I know u were the light of your family I know how proud your grandma was of you. She talked a lot about you. She loved her grandbabies, especially you rest in peace, sweet girl.
