Kelsey Bayliss

kelsey, i miss you so much i cant believe its almost a year. we had so much fun from the time we met. i remember getting simones phone taken in gym and you tried giving her the bow instead of the phone:) and when we were in the pool and i had to patch a hole and i said ugh this stupid clingy glug! and we started laughing sooo hard:) and me and you singing "im too sexy for my susan Boyle :) i miss you baby girl</3 theres not a day i dont think about you. i love you<3 you were my best friend since 7th the first day we met<3 rest in paradise sweetheart<3

I thought I saw your face today,
in the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say,
"Their work on earth is done."

I thought I heard your voice today,
then laugh your hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say,
"There's peace dear one at last."

I thought I felt your touch today,
in the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The spirit never dies."

I thought I saw my broken heart,
in the crescent of the moon.
And then I heard the angel say,
"The Lord is coming soon."

I thought that you had left me,
for the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They left you with their love."

I thought that I would miss you so,
and never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say,
"They're with you every day."
"The sun, the wind, the moon, the stars,
will forever be around,
reminding you of the love you shared,
and the peace they've finally found.

a heartache a tear, a memory so dear
everyday of our lives, we wish you were here.

i love and miss you kelsey.

We little knew that morning that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories,
your love is still our guide;
and though we cannot see you,
you are always at our side.
Our Family chain is broke,
and nothing seems the same;
but as God calls us one by one,
the Chain will link again.

I remember everything about you,
your voice, your smile, your touch,
the way you walked, the way you talked,
the way you looked at me, meant so much.



I remember all the words you said to me,
some funny, some kind, some wise,
all of the things you did for me,
I see now with different eyes.



I remember every moment we shared,
seems like only yesterday,
or maybe it was eons ago,
It's really hard to say.



You are gone from me now,
but one thing they can't take away,
your memory resides inside my heart,
and lights up my darkest days.

Each morning when we awake
we know that you are gone.
And no one knows the heartache
As we try to carry on.



Our hearts still ache with sadness
and many tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.



Our thoughts are always with you,
your place no one can fill.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.



There will always be a heartache,
and often a silent tear,
But always a precious memory
Of the days when you were here.



If tears could make a staircase,
And heartaches make a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven
And bring you home again.



We hold you close within our hearts,
And there you will remain,
To walk with us throughout our lives
Until we meet again.



Our family chain is broken now,
And nothing will be the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.

You never said I'm leaving
You never said goodbye.
You were gone before I knew it,
And only God knew why.



A million times I needed you,
A million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.



In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place,
That no one could ever fill.



It broke my heart to lose you,
But you didn't go alone
For part of me went with you,
The day God took you home.

Go now, my child, the time has come.
All tasks today are done.
There are others waiting there for you,
And songs yet to be sung.
Go quietly, go softly,
Leave all pain and fear behind.
Today has left a part of you
In our hearts, our souls, and minds.
I’ll remember you, my dear one,
As I lay down to sleep.
I’ll remember that you made me smile,
Although, it makes me weep.
As you go to face your future,
As you go to touch the sky
Know that God makes all things possible,
Angels never die.
Go now, my child, the time has come.
All worldly tasks are done.
There are others waiting there for you,
And songs yet to be sung.

If tomorrow you should wake to find,
that the lord has called me home.
If tonight I heard him calling me,
and you were left to carry on.

Take faith in all the love we shared,
for our hearts had beat as one.
Listen to the song inside,
of the broken heart, that must live on.

For you are still apart of me,
and I apart of you.
And it's the love we shared in life.
that lights the way to see you through.

For life is just a passing thought,
a moment in God's plan.
But we all must take the journey home,
when guided by God's hand.

And when we meet on the other side,
all storm clouds rolled away.
Our souls shall walk in the perfect light,
of God's eternal day.

My deepest sympathy's for your loss.

To Mrs. Bayliss and Matthew, May the love and memories Kelsey planted in your heart give you strength and grow to fill the emptiness. My heart and prayers are with you.

I met Kelsey at school from my son Timothy Childers when I was substitute Teaching, she was so sweet. MAY GOD BLESS YOU!!!! You are all in my thougths & prayers.

MAY GOD BLESS!!!!!

Though I did not personally know Kelsey, I knew how remarkable a young lady she was through John and Chris Bayliss. Chris would keep me up-to- date on Kelsey's status and their visits to see her. I gathered she was a dog lover. May Kelsey's mom and brother, Matt, who was so close to his sister, find peace and comfort in all those holding you close.

Kelsey, you will be missed by many! Thank you for the wonderful time you were able to give us. Your bright smile and enthusiasm could light up any room. We wish you and your family many blessings as we look forward to the day when we will meet again.

Praying for your entire family during this time. May the Lord give you peace and comfort.

Mrs. Bayliss:
I am so glad I got to share your wonderful, heartwarming daughter if for only a few hours a day in my classroom and if only for a few months. She brightened the room simply by entering it, and the smile everyone here is speaking of was contagious – each student around her shared her glow as they spoke with her, and it radiated throughout our class. I will, most certainly, never forget her nor the impact she has made on my own family. Each day since she became ill I’ve hugged my own children a bit tighter, and Kelsey taught me more than I ever could have taught her. Thank you so much for this great person and for the positive impact she has made on countless others.

Shelbie and Matt our thoughts and prayers are with your family. If there is anythng we can do please let us know.
