“Kayla , Sunny days seem to hurt the most We wear the pain like a heavy coat. I feel u everywhere I go. I see your smile , I see your face. I hear you laughing n the rain, I still can’t believe your’re gone. It ain’t fair you died too young, Like a story tht had just begun, But death tore the pages all away, God knows how much we miss u, all the hell that we’ve been though, Just knowin’ no one could ever take your place, An’ sometimes I wonder, Who’d you be today ! After 5 year Kayla we still can’t believe that you are gone .. We will always love and miss you , Love Aunt Charlotte”
“Hi sunshine, I attempted to look on this site before and could not find your name, but here you are. I am glad to have found you. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think of you and what a wonderful girl you would have turned out to be. I look at your picture everyday on the mantel. You were a precious gift that was taken from us and you will be forever in our hearts. I know you are with grandma and watching over us everyday. Please give all our loved ones hugs from me… Miss you forever.”
“Kayla, I miss you more and more everyday. Everything reminds me of you,If tears could build a stairway to heaven , I would be bringing you right back to all of us. We love you and miss you so, so much. “
Kayla .. If heaven wasn’t so far away
I’d pack up the kids and go for the day
Even though we still feel you with us every day .. we miss you more and more every day .. By our chairs we have your picture along with your grandma Dorothy , grandfather and Jessicas where we can see you everyday !! We Love you and wish we could turn back time and have you all with us .. I know you would love to have been here to see Tiff have her baby twins and to help spoil them .. But we know you will be watching over all of us until we ” see You Again Someday ”
