We were so extremely sad to hear of Kyle's passing, but filled with JOY at his glorious entrance into the full presence of the LORD. He will be SO missed by SO many. We really didn't know Kyle; just his incredible impact on others. I (Libby) had the privilege of meeting him and chatting with him. I will honestly say that the familiar "to know him is to love him" applied to Kyle, HOWEVER, this phrase can also be changed to "to MEET him is to love him"! One didn't even need to know Kyle well to love him. He was just completely and immediately lovable! I am convinced his Kingdom work will continue here on earth as he truly lived out and now leaves a great legacy started by generations before him. To Mark, Cindy, Colten, Ashley and the entire extended family--we extend our deepest and heartfelt thoughts and continued prayers for you all. With love--Libby and Mike Pacula
