Kayla- I can't believe it's been 11 years already. Not a day goes by that I don't think about you. Everytime I find a dime I know that's you! When my niece was born in 2011 as soon as she arrived I looked down to see a dime on the hospital floor. Watch over all of us and Ill see you soon! My kids Jiovonni and Aria would've loved you like we did! Love and miss you always. Your big cousin Ivey

Kaylah...I know that I should have wrote something for you a long time ago. It's been almost two years since you were taken though. Back then I would just say that it wasn't fair that this happened to you. I wish that things like this weren't meant to happen. I know that you're up in heaven smiling down on us though. You had that smile that could warm anyone's heart. I would always laugh when you said "ewww," or if you sang a silly song in Algebra. It was hard to see that empty seat since you've passed. I will never forget you Kaylah. You've inspired me to be a good person. No one will be able to replace you. I miss you, and I know that we will see each other again in heaven.

*Kaylah*

hey Kaylah, i miss you and i am deeply hurt that you are gone. You spent so little time here on Earth and then you were taken away from all of us in a heartbeat. One day you are walking down the halls of school with your cheeleading outfit on with your etnies then the next day you are gone. i wish that you were still here to get us all through our bad days and to laugh with us on our good days. even though you are not here on Earth making our days better i know you are in heaven and you are still working hard to make sure each and everyone of us has a good day. i learned something from you Kaylah, i learned that i must live each day to the fulliest and love everyone for who they are. I dont think you realize the impact that you have on others. But i do know that everyone of your friends are here thinking about you. You may not be here on Earth but everywhere i look i see you. there are so many things around the school that remind me of you and i think thats what helps all of us throw our bad days at school, we see your pictures on the lockers and we see that great big smile on your face and we find a way to push ourselves through the day.

~Kaylah Rose ~ we miss you and wish you were here REST IN PEACE

Kaylah,



We love you very much and miss you more than you could ever know. We are begining to realize that God took you for a reason. We know you are an angel in heaven and watching over us at all times which gives us peace in our hearts!! Your many friends miss you but we know you were an inspiration to everyone you met and hopefully this will encourage them to live their lives to the fullest as you did. We want you to know that we are so proud of you and everything you accomplished was a success. We will walk in your footsteps and carry on where you left off, spreading love and happiness to all you came in contact with. We will always miss you and never forget your beautiful smile and your happy ways. I am happy the last days you were able to enjoy your friends, sports and even make it to the mall the night before!! We love you so much and cant wait until we meet once again. You are such a beautiful person inside and out and we were so fortunate to share fifteen wonderful years with you. You will always have a place in our hearts and will never be forgotten!! We love and miss you always (our angel in heaven)!!

You will be missed and never forgotten by anyone. You were the best friend that any one could have ever wanted. you made anything we all did together a good time. You never had anything but a smile on your face and you were always laughing or making someone laugh about something.I will never forget all the times we watched the movie valentine and ate kettle corn or when we had a "girls night" and we would all just talk about things and paint our nails. All that and way more will never be the same without you girl. You were the one i went to for advice or just when i felt that i needed some one to talk to. I always knew i could turn to you no matter what. You were such a great girl and had so much going for you, i just wish you could of got the chance to do it all. Your in a better place now though and i will be seeing you there someday. Love you soo much.

You were one of my best friends. I'm so thankful for the time we did have together, but I wish we could have had longer. I cant believe this happened, and I dont know what I'm going to do without you, everyday all I think about is you and all the great times we had with eachother. I will never forget you. I love you.



Sutton family: Brittney even though I never really talked to you kaylah said nothing but good things about you and her family. Keep your head up babe. If there is anything I can do for you guys please let me know. You will be in my prayers.

Kaylah,

You were one of my best friends and you always will be.You helped me through so many problems with your great advice. I knew I could always go to you for help with anything, you were the one friend that always gave me courage in a tough situation. No one could ever replace you. You had everything..you were beautiful on the inside and outside.You had a gorgeous smile that was unlike any other, just seeing it brightened up my entire day. I've always envied you and the wonderful person you were. I believe that you were truly an angel put on earth to guide us all in the right direction and teach us how very precious life really is. It's amazing how many lives you've touched within the 15 years you were here. You taught me so many lessons when you were here and I'm still learning from you. You lived your life to the fullest and I'm going to try my hardest to live life the way you wanted me to. Ill do anything to make you as happy as you've made me. I miss you so incredibly much, but I know that if I ever need to talk to you I can look in my heart to hear your cheerful voice again. Ill cherish every single memory and moment with you for they were all so wonderful.I LOVE YOU more than you could ever imagine Kaylah Rose Sutton! You'll live on in my heart forever. Save me a spot in heaven!



Love always -n- forever,

All the times we have been together they were all good times, i cant remember any time we have ever been mad at each other.You were such an awesome person and touched so many people.Anytime i was sad or had a problem you would cheer me up and i knew i could go to you for anything, i hope you felt the same way toward me too. Im sad to see you go but i know that you are up in heaven smiling down on all of us and watching every move we make. I'll be thinkin about you all the time, knowing that you are home and we will be together again soon. You will always have a special place in my heart and i wont ever forget your laugh, smile, beauty, crazy personality, and so many other things about you.

To My Very Best Friend-

Kaylah, Things are going to be much harder and different not having the one girl who was always there with me to cry,laugh, and share all the greatest memories with. God blessed me, by making you a part of my life for 7 years, and now he has taken someone as perfect as you to be an angel not only here on earth, but with him in heaven. I know there will never be anyone who will ever be able to fill in your place. No one will ever have the stories that lasted for ever but still kept everyone laughing the 100th time they heard it, no one will ever have such a beautiful smile and such a caring soul. You cared so much about other people, more than you have ever cared for yourself. You have taught me so much, and helped me with so many things. You will be greatly missed, but held forever in my heart. We promised eachother we would be best friends till death, and then we would wait for the other in heaven. I know your waiting for me, and I can't wait till the day when I get to see your pretty face again. May you rest in peace Kaylah Rose Sutton, and know of all the people who love you, and miss you. You'll always be my favorite angel! "Learn as though you'll live forever, Live as though you'll die tomorrow."



-Mary and Brittany, I love you both very much, and your always in my prayers.

Brittany, Family, and Friends- I'm deeply sorry for the loss. Think of the goods times she's had, with friends and family. Don't think about the fact that she's gone and the things she could have done. I didn't know her, but I wish I had. She was very beautiful and active in a lot of activities. When I'd see her in the halls last year she always had a smile on her face. I must say that a couple of times I've wanted to crying seeing all the people who knew, and were freinds with her, were crying made me sad. You'll be in my prayers tonight Brittany and family.



She will always be remembered by those who knew her and even those who barely knew her.

March 10, 2005

We are here on earth only to serve God's purpose, when we have fulfilled that he can take us home to be with him. It takes most people there whole lives to fufill his purpose, but Kaylah, at only 15, had his purpose fulffiled. God Bless your family in this time of sorrow.

March 10, 2005

What a wonderful poem posted!! Kaylah could have been a professional model with that lovely megawatt smile of hers...But the best thing about her is that she was such a TREMENDOUS role model for her peers! She might have led a short life on earth here, but it was definitely a profound and very meaningful one.

To All Parents

"I'll lend you for a while a child of mine,"

He said.

"For you to love the while she lives and mourn for

when she's dead.

It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or

three,

But will you, till I call her back, take care of

her for me?

She'll bring her charms to gladden you, and should

her stay be brief,

You'll have her lovely memories as solace for

your grief.

I cannot promise she will stay; since all from

earth return,

But there are lessons taught down there I

want this child to learn.

I've looked the wide world over in My search

for teachers true

And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes

I have selected you.

Now will you give her all your love, not think

the labor vain,

Nor hate Me when I come to call

to take her back again?"

I fancied that I that I heard them say, "Dear Lord,

Thy will be done!

For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the

risk of grief we run.

We'll shelter her with tenderness, we'll

love her while we may,

And for the happiness we've known, forever

grateful stay;

But should the angels call for her much sooner

than we've planned,

We'll brave the bitter grief that comes and

try to understand."

*~Kaylah~*

I only met you this year. Yet you have had such an impact on my life. You have taught us all the right way to live. Whether we were in our CL groups for english or just in the hall. You were polite and kind to everyone. Not just the cheerleaders, or the jocks, but to you everyone was the same. As KV mourns, we know for sure you have a seat of highest honor in heaven. I'm sure your beautiful voice and violin playing fits in perfectly with the chorus of angels. You have reminded us all that we have no control over life and to live each day to its fullest. Thank you for the precious reminder before its too late for us to realize our life is slipping before our eyes. My deepest condolences towards your family and many friends. God only knows what they are going through to lose such an earth bound angel. I thank you for such an impact and a new perspective of life we should all have. All this i learned from the short semester and 8 weeks i knew you.

To the most amazing and beautiful girl-

Kaylah we all wish we could talk to you just one more time.. just to let you know how much you really do mean to us. You light up everyones day.. when someone ever needed to talk you were always willing to listen. We will never forget your funny stories you had, or when you hugged Mark you told us how your stomach turned. It is pretty obvious how much you meant to everyone. We are so grateful to have known someone as special as you. You were such a talented girl and had alot going for you. Life/School will definately not be the same without you. We will never forget your warming smile as you walked down the hallways at school, saying hi to every person that passed by you. We all know that god picked you for some reason- for a beautiful angel to look over us. God has gained an ANGEL, but we have all lost one- love you Kaylah Rose Sutton



Brittany- Our prayers are with you during this tough time. We want you to know that you will always have an angel with you and to be strong. Kaylah would always want you to be happy. We love you and hang in there!



Rest of the Sutton family-

Our prayers are also with you. Many people loved Kaylah,she always had a glow with her no matter where she was. In every picture she was always that one girl that stood out.. one of the most beautiful girls.

Kaylah Rose Sutton will be greatly missed by those who knew and loved her. Our consolation lies in the fact that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We know that she was one of God’s own, and so we celebrate her homegoing. She has been given a new, heavenly body that will enter into the presence of the Lord and rejoice among the angels.



While we recognize that you are experiencing a time of profound loss and sorrow. Proverbs 3:5-6 states “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Please remember that God can, God will, and it is up to us to accept what He does. To the family of Kaylah Rose Sutton, may the Lord bless you and comfort you. We, the Lake County Recorder’s office, pray that God will ease the pain of your loss through the good memories of her life with you and the legacy that Kaylah Rose Sutton leaves behind.



Respectfully submitted,







Michael A. Brown,

Lake County Recorder

Kaylah was a person I was looking forward to getting to know better than I already did. Her smile glistened like the stars in the sky at night. She would talk to me during passing periods and make my day ten times better. She is an amazing girl, and will never be forgotten...To her entire family, prayers come from my heart and the ones around me as we grieve. With much love, we think of the good times. RIP Kaylah Rose Sutton...We love you...

Brittany i am deeply sorry for what has happened just remember you are loved. Kaylah always made me smile just by the way she would carry herself and the energy she gave off. I knew the sutton family, i grew up with brittany and it truly hurts to see her and her family go through this. My love and prays. I'll leave you with this little peom, " I know your in heaven smiling down, but until we meet again i wear this frown.' -megan

I am a senior at KV. I was Kaylah's senior leader for her freshman fundamentals program. She made the whole program worth while for me. She made everything fun, she was eager to participate. I honestly can say that without her as a member of my group the whole experiance for me would not have been the same. It was a privilage having your daughter in my group.

Dearest Brittany, Mary & Family,

My heart hurts so much for you. May your deep faith in God keep you strong during these terrible times. Kaylah was one of the most exquisitely beautiful young ladies I have ever met. From what I have heard she had a personality to match. We will think of you often on our spring break vacation since we are taking a cruise on the same ship you 3 recently took a cruise on. Think of the wonderful times you had together! Kaylah will never be forgotten!



Love & Prayers,

She was the best friend anyone could ever have. She was the most beautiful girl i've ever known. I want all of Kaylahs friends and family members to know that she is living in peace with God now. She will never feel pain. She will live in eternal happiness..and i know she's watching down from heaven upon all of us. I love You Kaylah..! You mean the world to all of us.

Kaylah~

I only talked to you a couple times but, in those couple of times...your positive outlook on life greatly made a difference in my life. Everytime I saw you in the hallway you had a smile on your face and a upbeat personality that could brighten anyone's day. You will be greatly missed.

Brittany~

I just wanted to say that I miss you....and I'm here for you if you ever need someone to talk to you.

much love, siobhan

Kaylah Rose Sutton was a beautiful young girl, always full of energy. Even though I rarely spoke to her, I could always hear her laughing as she walked through the halls. I don't even know if Kaylah knew who I was. Her death has made me appreciate my friends as well as my life more than ever. My sympathy is given to the family, especially to Brittany. No family should ever have to experience a loss like this. Kaylah will be missed, and never forgotten.
