For Keighley's family - I knew Keighley because she was a friend to my son, Trevor. She was so kind to me when I lost Trevor year. I will always remember her coming to the house with a t-shirt she'd had made in his memory, and on which all her friends had written their goodbyes. My son valued their friendship a great deal, and I was so touched by her compassion. I will carry her in my heart.

I still remember the first day i met Keighley. She had just come to Highlands Elementary. We were all hanging out in the hallways before school started that morning, she was the cool new girl, that everyone wanted to meet. Well, i met her. I was talking to her when another girl made fun of my wheelchair and keighley made it clear to the other girl that it wasnt nice and not my fault. Since that day, i knew keighley would stick up for me. I continued to go to school with her throughout indian hills and SMN. She was an amazing girl, with a beautiful smile. Full of personality, and a girl everyone wanted to be around. She was caring and a friend to everyone. She will seriously be missed.
My condolences go out to her family. Such a tragic thing has happened, to such an amazing girl... I'll never forget her laugh and smile.
Rest In Paradise Girl, Keep Us safe.
you'll never, ever be forgotten.

There are not the words or ability to express my deepest sympathy to Keighley's family. I had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful young woman at the apartment complex where we both live. I found her enchanting, smart, compassionate and kind. Her beautiful smile was an immediate sign of welcome and her eyes were full of laughter. You have the comfort of sharing her 18 years, I have the comfort of having met her and sharing a few laughs, hopes and joyous moments of the summer. May you find peace and compassion with loving grace. I have also shared your experience and want you to know that there is peace for you. It is a difficult journey that you will someday embrace and be able to help someone else.
