How can you describe this beautiful girl? She was definitely a fighter in every way. She as always pushing the limits and didn’t put up with anything from anyone. She was strong and fearless, wild and untamable. But to the ones she loved and loved her, she was selfless, loving, big hearted, silly, playful, fun and crazy. There will never be anyone to compare to this beautiful disaster of a person. She will be greatly missed.

Kayla had a good heart and cared about others that she saw in need and would literally give them the clothing that she had on her back or give out what little bit of money she may have had to others. She was not a materialistic person. Even though she lived her life as she wanted, she knew who to go to during her rough times. God, she did believe in the Bible and God and had a few favorite scriptures. One scripture is Romans 12:21, “Do not let yourself be conquered by the evil, but keep conquering the evil with the good.” She shared a couple of others that she enjoyed. Her family is comforted by the Bible promises that she is sleeping until she wakes up in paradise and we will have forever with her.
