Kally was always so vivacious in school, and reading her obit tells me she continued that streak ever since. I'm so saddened to hear of her passing, especially so young. Sending love from San Francisco.

Kally was an absolutely beautiful soul who I was blessed to call my best friend for many years. Although we may have not spoken recently I know she knew how much I loved her and valued her friendship! May God be with her family and friends! Prayers to her family as this was a life cut short way before her time. Smile down on us from Heaven Kally!
