Kyle was an excellent basketball player in high school.She was voted most valuable player two consecutive years, 1974 and 1975. She was smart,funny and a loyal friend.She was always concerned about those who needed help and special attention. It's not surprising that she became such a great nurse. She was a great friend. She was my best friend, but hey, she's here forever. All my love to Pat,Mike,Kelly and Casey. A privileged friend, Jenni

I noticed Kyle's absence a few months ago, but didn't know why. What I appreciated the most about her was that my mother, a Grandview resident, referred to Kyle as "her best friend". Needless to say, reading of her passing was indeed a true shock. All those who knew her will most assuredly miss her, as she set a standard and benchmark as a quality caregiver and "best friend" to more people than can be counted. My prayers are with her family at this sorrowful time.

I am truly sorry to hear this news but we all know that God makes no mistakes. I met Kyle through my mother and the last time we saw Kyle was when my mother was leaving work to be out for surgery. We never would have thought that it would be our last time seeing her. Although we've lost her, God has gained another angel in heaven. The family has our deepest condolences and will be in our prayers. Jackie, Perez, and Farrah will miss you Kyle. Rest in peace.

Kyle was my Mother's nurse at Grandview and she certainly made each day more pleasurable. My Mother thought the world of Kyle, as do all of residents, and I know that she will be sorely missed. My Mother passed away on July 25th, so I know that there is at least one welcoming Kyle with open arms. My thoughts and prayers are with you at what I know is a very difficult time. God bless you.

I met Kyle at the nursing home and liked her immediately. She provided exceptional care for my mother and the other residents at the home. However, just when I thought we were developing a friendship beyond the nursing home environment, she was gone...I'm truly sorry of that missed opportunity. I have thought of her often during the past few months of her illness. My prayers go out to her family. She was truly a wonderful person.
