    I had the pleasure of having Kaylee ride my school bus for a short time and always enjoyed our conversations and time together. She had bright dreams and was so kind to others. She is loved and missed. Kaylee’s family is in our prayers.

    I know some of what you are experiencing, not all, but some, as I lost my daughter under similar circumstances in June. Please know that you have my empathy and prayers and I wish for you time to heal and understand.

    I met Kaylee when she was in Freeport. I was her mentor. Kaylee taught me to play Phase 10 and she taught me how to lose, because she always won when we played. Kaylee spent time with our family and she and my daughter Destiny became great friends. She also came to church with us often and she helped out as much as she could at church. She was a joy to know and I am blessed to have had her in my life. She was beautiful inside and out and she was loving. She spoke of her family frequently and of her desire to go back home. She loved her sister Emily deeply as well as her mother and grandmother. She talked about her uncles and cousins and was grateful for their support. I pray for you all during this tremendously difficult time. But I know her love for you all transcends this world and she will let you know in her own way that she continues to love and cherish you❣️ I am grateful to have known her and I will miss her dearly ❣️ I love you Kaylee❣️ Barb
