Ada,
My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. I learned so much from Kayla. No matter what she was going through that smile of hers was ALWAYS present. She is such a bright star and always will be. I pray God walks beside you always and carries you when you need it most.

Ada&Matt I just wanted to again express my condolences to you. I wish there was more I can do but when things settle down and all the family has gone home please remember you can call me for support. Kayla was a special person and I truly believe she received her wings and is looking over all of us. Please lean on it each other and not let anything come between you. I will keep you both in my prayers.

Hi Ada,

I'm very sorry to hear about Kayla. I remember the 1st time I saw Kayla in the magazine article at my daughter's heart doctor. All I could think was how strong and and resilient she must have been to endure all those surgeries and hospital visits. I felt like she was going to be my strength if my daughter was going to endure the same road. Be happy and remember that you were blessed to have had her for the time she was here with you. She was precious and I bet she very happy in heaven. :-)

Be Blessed,

To my little cousin Kayla
I love and miss you and even though I didn't get to spend as much time as I would have wanted to with you, the time I did have, I will always cherish. Keep that angelic smile on your face and remember you are not alone. The day you left earth and enter heaven, I know the biggest clown you have ever seen came to you with a smile on his face and said, I am your uncle Kay. (LOL) And I know my father is going to look after you the same way he looks over me. Matt and Ada I love you guys so much, KEEP STRONG!!!!!!
Love the Williams Gang
