Friends-

Even if we haven't talked in a long time, I imagine that we are feeling about the same way right now. The bonds that we created in high school may have fizzled out, but it doesn't remove us from the memories we once shared.

After I heard that a piece of our group was missing, it instantly became one of the weirdest feelings I have ever had. Never did I think that one of us would have to battle cancer, never mind lose the battle. To my friends who are feeling the way I am, it's okay. Kaylee was given the greatest time while she was here and saying we were blessed to have the time we had with her is an understatement. We have to be strong, for her and for ourselves because there is no way that someone with such a bubbly personality would want anything different for us. Continue to share videos and pictures of the perfect girl she was, because she deserves nothing but the best memories.

As for you, the grief you feel will always come in waves and that's normal. We will make it through this the way she would want us to and one day we'll see her again. Remember her the way you can and through that the love for her will never truly end. There are no words to describe how sorry I am. At this point in life, we think we're used to heartache but the truth is, that the heartache we thought we knew is nothing to the heartache we can actually feel. She was a a part of a monumental part in our lives; a part that will live forever. When we look back at those memories, we should not feel sad, but feel joyful that she was part of our lives, whether or not it was brief or she had made a huge impact on your day-to-day.

So much love and light to you all while we go through this.
