Words can’t express my sadness, she had a beautiful heart and made everyone feel welcome. As children we we spent many days and weeks together doing things that were fun while maintaining the approval of her parents, until one day the parents drifted apart. I still maintained the love for her with all the memories. Later in life the parents mended the relationship and we got together as if we had never been apart. She made me feel welcome and we spoke intermittently and during stressful times like this. She always had a cheerful smile and kind words not leading on to any issues she was suffering from. I will miss her, I have a huge hole in my heart right now. God has another Angel.
Love always,

Kyle is a dear friend from Threads of Time Retreat Center in Danville IL. I would try to retreat with her whenever she came over. We had a lot of fun. I have missed her. Will continue to pray for the family.

We were more than cousins! We were good friends when we were young, and had the most fun sleep-overs! We lost touch somewhat when we became adults, as often happens due to distances, etc. I am so glad we had an opportunity to reconnect and spend some quality time talking together again these past few years. I will miss Kyle's happy, kind and loving spirit and her beautiful, smiling face.

Kyle did her best and had a good time doing it. Our Grandmother, Kyle, myself, and my older brother drove to a Saints and Oilers football game in the Houston Astro Dome in 1968.

I met Kyle when I started at St Frances 25 years ago. She made me laugh all the time and she gave great hugs. My best memory is when I took her husband for her son ? We laughed about that for a long time. She will be missed !

Kyle was always the mischievous one among all of my cousins. She seemed to recognize my inner rebel. I will always cherish the times spent with her one-on-one.
