Even though the horror and tragedy of that day can be felt in its entirety in an instant. Love also has a way of healing and acceptance in this very breath. Bean always said "Let go and let God", if we can live this quote we can be free.
God Bless our angel Kaely, she is cheering us on to Love every day!

My name is Cesar. My family calls me Alex. I´m 26 now and I went to kindergarten with Kaely in Calusa Elementary. I moved from Miami to Tampa at the age of 6-7. I remember my parents telling me Kaely was my first girlfriend. The only memory I have is us sitting on a skateboard together riding down my driveway in my house in the crossings. We must´ve exchanged yearbook pictures because I had a picture of her in my closet til the beginning of highschool before we moved again. For the past 5 years I wanted to look her up but I never knew her last name so I asked my mom and she didn´t know either. It wasn´t until Hurricane Helene flooded our house, that my mom wanted to salvage some of the photo albums and found one. So sorry for your loss

In 12 years I´ve never forgotten this beautiful child taken so tragically from her family. May she continue to rest with the angels and may our Lord continue to heal her family´s grieving hearts .

I still think about this tragedy and Kaely's life being taken far too soon. Sending love and healing to the Camacho family always. May her story be a reminder to love hard and cherish each moment we have with each other, while having the comfort of knowing we will all reunite someday. Gone but never forgotten, RIP Kaely.

Hard to believe at times, especially today that you are not here. Not here to see you smile, hear you laugh, watch you grow. Not a day goes by that I don't miss her. 8 years is too long. Gone but not forgotten. I love you Kaely, mom.

7 years later the loss of this beautiful young lady, whom I never met, still hurts my heart. I remember watching this horrific accident in the news and thinking of her family. 7 years later I'm still thinking of them and sending out prayers that God continues to heal their broken hearts . RIP beautiful Kaely.
April 10, 2020
Though I never had the pleasure of meeting this beautiful girl or her family, I know of this through her cousin Mackenzie who went to school with our son and dated him for a while. I can't imagine life without her for the entire family. I can't believe it has already been 7 years. I hope and pray that you are comforted by the memories and knowing how much she was loved and admired.
God bless,

Justice has been served. I never got the opportunity to meet you and your family. But, my dear friend Maritza Gonzalez knows your mom and my son Luis knows your cousin, Mackenzie.

Well Kaely it's been a year since you left us and it's been hard on the family and me personally. I had a little girl that I'm sure you would have loved to hold she is really cute and smiles alot just like you. She was born in July and it was devastating to us knowing you would not be a part of her life, but she will know who you are Miss you pretty girl

I am so sorry for your loss. I am sad to say I did not personally know Kaely, and I am writing from the other side of the world. I only came across this horrible tragedy from a tribute that a friend of a friend made on Facebook. I am only a few years older than you and I simply cannot even begin to imagine losing a close friend of mine like that. Kaely, I know we have never met but even reading what people had to say about you makes me realize you were such an energetic and kind girl. May you rest in peace.
My condolences to her family and friends.

I lost my Daughter Amanda 5 years ago in an accident. She would've been 13 this May and like Kaely, she was beautiful with a promising life ahead. Only your faith can give you the strength to continue on for your precious daughter that is still on earth. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
