To my baby girl, life is very hard for us without you here with us. I know you r in a better place and cannot wait to join u. This world is getting worse and hard dealing with so much sorrow. I have lost several people I know in the past year. We do not understand what has happened or why. I miss everything about u and your little brother misses u so much. We talk about you everyday and the Lord has shown us u are with him. You and your brother are my sunshine in life and now I have half a heart. I miss u so much my baby girl. love u with all my heart and soul-Mommy

Kelly, I have just this week heard of your loss and words cannot express the sorrow I feel for you and your family. Though our lives have rarely crossed in the 27 years since High School I have fond memories of those times and remember all too well what life was like as a teen, all the good and the scary. I have twin 17 year old girls and a 24 year old daughter as well (who blessed me with granddaughter last year) and I know the joys and worries that come with the territory. I wish I had had the opportunity to meet Kayla, she has your smile! You will meet again and until then, live a good life for her and god bless.

Dearest Kayla,
searching the internet once more for your family, I was shocked reading about your accident.
I managed to view all your photographs on "Myspace" and it made me even more sad and angry 'cause things like these always happen to the wrong.
Being a father as well I can imagine the pain your family is going through.
Sorry, cannot go on writing for this moment - I was expecting another way of getting in contact with any of your's.
But, I'm sure, you brightened up your Folk's life and you still are...
I'm ashamed that we never happend to meet although we should have as me being one of your last relatives from Germany.
With love

Kayla my angel and baby girl, I think about you 24/7. It is so hard to be here in this world without seeing you and hearing that laugh. Kameron your brother is trying his best in life to show you he will do his best in life for you. All I think about is the day I get to see you in Heaven and know it is not far from now. This world is not a great place so many bad things going on. After you left to be with God and Jesus some reason the world has been getting worse. I know you are in a better place and I will find this out some day. You are my sunshine and always made my day better. I miss you so much and pray all the time. I thank God for showing us signs you are with him and all the amazing things that have happened. My heart is broken and never will be the same. Love you with all my heart and soul mom

Dear Kayla,
I thought of you and your family during the holiday season. I go out running every week and look around at the clouds and ski and can not help that I am looking at life and talking in all in for you. I am sad that there was so much that I want you to see and feel. I am sorry for your mom your no longer here for her. I am selfish and still want you here with your family. I am so very sad....
Thinking of you Kayla

Kayla-

We only met a couple times, but still it is hard to even imagine you not around. I just wanted to say that you were a beautiful person, so sweet even to me whom you barely knew. I know you are bringing happiness and warm kindness in Heaven and watching over your family. Guide your friends in all they do, they love you dearly. You will never be forgotten pretty girl.

To my beautiful daughter I wanted to say Happy 17th Birthday I know you are celebrating in Heaven, it was so nice that all your friends and some family came to celebrate your life. I will never understand why you had to go to your main home so soon when you had so much to offer in this world, I will never know until I join you up in Heaven. I wished the Lord would let me have a second chance with you because we miss you so much and it is difficult being without you. Our hearts are torn and someday we will be together again all of us. The chain is broken but it will mind again when we meet. The hardest part is we had so many plans in the future with you. You are a wonderful daughter with a great heart. We love you so much!!! Mom, Dad and Kameron.

Dear Mario, Kelly & Kam,
We are profoundly and deeply affected in this tragic loss of one so young and so beautiful. We have been unable to stop praying for and thinking about all of you. Kayla is one of our beloved community daughters and she is tearfully and painfully missed. We watched sweet Kayla grow up in the Ranch over the last 11 years and expected great things for her promising future. She will always be remembered as a fun-loving, spirited young lady, who sought fun and friendship wherever she went. We wish you comfort in knowing she rests in God's loving arms and prepares a place for all of us who follow. Be at peace in His love and know she is whole and safe in our sovereign Father God's Heaven. Our hearts share in your grief and we hold you all up in prayer during this very difficult time. We walk with you... Please call on us if you need anything in the exhausting and challenging days to come. God bless you, every one.
Our hearts,
Jill & Dave Wieseler

If we could bring you back again,
For one more hour or day,
We'd express all our unspoken love;
We'd have countless things to say.

If we could bring you back again,
We'd say we treasured you,
And that your presence in our lives
Meant more that we ever knew.

If we could bring you back again,
To tell you what we should,
You'd know how much we miss you now,
And if we could, we would.

Kelly, Mario and Kameron
Our thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time and always. May you find strength in your memories and strength from your family and friends.

Love,
The Hinshaw Family
