Dear Kelly family,
We haven't met. I heard of Kiera's passing thru an Instagram connection and have since discovered Reagan and our son Cameron, both first year Ottawa U students, have mutual friends. I have been thinking of you all everyday since I heard and my heart aches for the immense pain you are all experiencing. Our beautiful son, Cam, also our middle child, tragically died in Ottawa this past October. I am truly so so sorry that you have joined us on this path of overwhelming grief and loss. Our lives will never be the same. Please know that you are never alone and many of us will help shoulder your pain. I am here for you if you ever wish to talk to someone in the same boat. Be gentle with yourselves and each other. This is possibly the worst thing we, as parents, can go thru.
Love and peace...
Linda

It is heartbreaking learning about the passing of Kiera. My daughter and I met Kiera at Colonial Equestrian Centre and although we did not get to know her very well, she had a sweet smile on her face with every encounter. I admired her for the love and care she seemed to share for her younger sister Delaney who was almost always at her side. I cannot imagine the depth of your loss, however I hope for you that one day you will find comfort in the memories you shared. Our deepest sympathies during this difficult time to the entire family.

Britney and Carolyne Cryderman

Dear Bill, Debbie, Regan and Delaney, we are so sorry for your loss. When I used to babysit Regan, Kiera and Delaney, she used to be such a gem to look after. She always had a smile on her face. Kiera was also a good little judo fighter in the Tai-Ko Judo Club. When the girls were really young I used to see Regan and Kiera holding hands, singing and skipping from Judo class back to their house around the corner; it was cute to watch. I also had many fond memories of her, Regan and Delaney at my parents house with all the judo parties. It was nice to see Kiera grow up from a toddler to a beautiful young lady. She will be sadly missed by us. Love, Lisa & Andrew Dareicuk

Although I never really knew Kiera, her death has effected myself and others extremely. We were both in binnfill together and seeing her dance was a pleasure. She was a beautiful girl who had so much to live for. MCVI will not be the same without her and the energy around school shows that. My deepest condolences go out to all of her family and friends, Rest easy Kiera, we love you.

I am so sad and sorry to her of Kiera's passing. She was a beautiful, positive and outgoing girl who lit up the room every time she entered my class that I taught her in last semester. It was truly a pleasure teaching her and her kindness and happy nature will be missed. Regan, although I don't know you, please know that Kiera looked up to you and I heard so many stories about about you. It was obvious she was very proud of you and loved her family. It is my hope that the happy memories that you all had with her help you in the coming days.

Words cannot express how heartbreaking it is that such a young, beautiful, sweet girl has passed. It feels like just yesterday we were freaking out and running back to timmies because we forgot to get Robert's tea. I also remember the time that we went tubing and as soon as I got back on the tube, you flipped right off. I'll never forget those times. You were always so sweet and polite and I loved talking with you. I'm going to miss you so much Kiera... You were a huge part of the TDA family and we'll never forget you. Thank you for everything. Rest In Paradise.
To the Kelly family: I am so sorry for your loss. Just know that you have so much love and support and though she was taken away from us so soon, she really did leave a huge footprint and will never be forgotten.

Dear Kiera's family. We are sending our deepest condolences and heartfelt sympathies to you and yours.
