My Angel,

Life can be sooooo difficult without you here.... Your birthday, the day you left us, holidays, the day of your service are the hardest for me. No matter how I try to prepare myself to cope, God know a part of me is gone. Your brothers continue living life the best way they know how. If I can be honest life has NEVER the same. There are more lonely, empty, painful days than not.... I pray continuously for God to comfort me and fill me where I am empty. Kayla KP know that I miss and love you to Life! Christmas is coming and wow how saddened I feel nevertheless cover it with daily life pushing through. My Angel thank you for visiting me, sending signs daily and watching over me....
You're soooo missed and loved
to Life
Your Mom

Ms. Porter. I met your daughter at DeKaney. My daughter is Kayla Porter also and I went to the school to speak to my daughter and they sent your Kayla instead. We chuckled and Kayla said I know which Kayla you are looking for. My heart goes out to you and I am praying for God to continue to bring joy to your life. May Kayla rest in Power.

Sweetheart, I want you to know that you are loved abundantly and missed greatly. I was really expecting you to be here when i got home, but Allah is the best of planners and had a better idea for you. Don't ever think that a day passes when you are not thought about. I wipe and kiss the tears away from your mother's (Melissa) eyes constantly that are compelled by the thoughts of you. In spirit you are still here w/ us and we greatly appreciate your presence ma. We Love You To Life... You can never be replaced and will never be forgotten... Love your Step-Dad, Nateese

MY HEART GOES OUT TO KP'S FAMLY IT IS NOT EASY LOSING A LOVED ONE. I ALSO PRAY THAT KAYLA'S DEATH CAUSES OTHERS TO TAKE A LONG LOOK AT THEIR LIVES BECAUSE IT IS NOT PROMISED TO ANY OF US. THE THING TO REMEMBER IS THAT GOD IS NEAR UNTO ALL WHO CALL UPON HIM. ONLY WHAT WE DO FOR CHRIST WILL LAST. GOD BLESS YOUR HEARTS.

Kayla,
When I met you I knew there was something special about you. You were intelligent, witty, and an amazing friend. You always checked on me no matter what, even when life took us on our separate paths. Never once did I think you'd go this far away. I feel like something precious has been taken from me. I admired your respect, love, and care for others. I admired that smile you kept on your face no matter how rough the situation. I admired your strength and patience. I know life wasn't always fair for you and that is why I pray that you rest beautifully and peacefully. Maybe one day I'll be able to accept the fact that you're gone, but for now I simply cannot allow it to be my reality. Thank you for your amazing friendship. Our many inside jokes and fun times will not be forgotten.
- Your Prom Date

P.S. I look forward to eating w/ your family... I know you'll be there with us :)
