KennyII & Tanya,Kenny III,& Kris,



I know the coming days are going to be hard as you near the date that GOD bought Kayla into the world. Be strong and keep the faith to know that Kayla is truly in a better place watching over us all, as one of God's Little Angels. Not a day goes by that I don't think of KAYLA. I am famous for buying cards and never sending them. As I am preparing for my family addition, I came across 2 Birthday Cards, 1 Valentine's Day card, and an Easter card that I had bought to send to KAYLA. I wish we could be there this weekend to celebrate KAYLA's DAY!

You will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

We love you all and looking forward to seeing you soon!

Sharon Ames-Burgess

August 17, 2004

Kenny, Tanya, Karla, Nikki, Paula, as I type these words, I can not even hold back my tears. I feel your pain, GOD knows I do - losing my mother has been the most painful and heartwrenching experience of my life, and for a long time, I didn't think I'd survive it. I want to share this with you: A parent's love is something no one can explain, it's made of deep devotion, sacrifice and pain, it is endless, unselfish and enduring come what may; for nothing can destroy it or take that love away. It is patient and forgiving, when all others are forsaking, and it never fails or falters even though your heart is breaking. It believes beyond believing, when the world around condemns, and it glows with all the beauty of the rarest, brightest gems. It is far beyond defining, it defies all explanation, and it still remains a secret like the mystery of creation. A many splendored miracle man cannot understand, and another wonderful evidence of God's tender guiding hand.....Hold onto GOD's hand and to each others.....I love each and every one of you from the depths of my heart.....Love, Sharon.

Kayla is missed dearly. We can still see that beautiful smile. We can still hear her saying Uncle Kenny and Aunt Shelby can I ride in the car with you. It's still so hard to believe, but she's at peace now and I know she will be watching over all of you. We will keep you in our prayers.



Just remember we are here if you need us!

Crystal Mabry

I pray that God will see you thru this dark time in your lives.
