Kayla was a joyful, hilarious and caring person who had an amazing personality like no other. I always had fun when we had the chance to hang out. I think that's why God called you home, because he needed someone who was so full of joy and happiness to grace the heavens. To Kaylas family, you are all in my thoughts and prayers and may God bless you all in this time of sorrow.

I only met Kayla once, sadly about a week before she was tragically taken. I was meeting with her to send my babies to her daycare. I'd heard so many good things and as soon as I met her I knew she was the sweetest thing. Her soul just radiated kindness and love! I was shocked to hear of her untimely passing. I know she was a wonderful person and will be missed by so many. My thoughts and prayers are with all her family and friends during this hard time

I feel like the luckiest aunt on earth to have had a niece like Kayla. From the moment she was born she was curious, loving, and had a smile that could make the darkest day shine brightly. I do not understand why it was her time to leave this earth bound life, but I have to just trust that the Lord knew what he was doing. Mark you will always and forever be a part of our family, Kayla loved you more than life itself. I love you Mechelle and I will see you again, my angel.
