May you find comfort in knowing that she will always live in our hearts – and you will see her again in the next life.  My family and I are deeply sorry for your loss and will be praying for you.

Please know that all of our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dearest Travis and Nichole,
       My family and I are constantly praying for your entire family.  Here is a prayer that I thought might be able to encourage some peace within your hearts:
       God, you sacrificed your son so that we and our children would transcend physical death. We know that you grieved when he was crucified and that you grieve over all the atrocities done by men -- especially in your name. You know and understand grief as you know and understand all. You know best how to comfort these parents. Lift their hearts up to you and fill them with your peace. Your understanding is beyond our human comprehension, but give them the knowledge and faith to endure even that which they can't understand. Let them be aware of you always God, and help them to remember that your Love is Life that can never really be taken away.
My family and I are here for you if you need anything during this time.  We will continue to pray that God keeps your family strong.
Deepest sympathies,
Linda Watier & family

I was so saddened to hear of Kayla's shocking early death. I remember the first day we met and you were so shocked but cautiously excited about the pregnancy.  Then throughout your pregnancy we got to share in making Kayla's birth so rewarding. You were so happy to finally meet her. What a beautiful little girl she was ....may you find peace in the joy her life brought you both.

Travis and Nichole - My memories will be of all the "Kayla" stories we got to hear on a daily basis. The first time she peed on his arm (who takes a baby from a warm bath without covering with a towel first!), her "talking" to him all the way home at night, and of course, the way she smiled when she heard his voice and looked into his face. What a lovely little angel. Peggy (aka "grammy"

We were so saddened to hear of Kayla's passing. Our hearts are breaking for you and your family.

I am sorry for your loss. My thoughts & prayers are with you.

Thinking of you!  

Hoping you will find comfort in memories of the joy Kayla brought you- even if for a short time.  She is an angel now living among angels.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss.  The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Your precious baby Kayla touched so many in her short life. We took the journey with you, from the initial announcement of her surprise creation, the many untrasound pictures of her, her birth and the treasured website where we all doted over her bubbly personality and happy liitle smiles. Her imprint will be in our hearts and soul forever!! Nothing can prepare you for lifes most difficult time, the pain and sorrow is unbearable. There are no logical or spiritual answers as to why. You and everyone that loved her have been robbed of the future but no one can take away her shortened past and all your memories. Moment to moment and step by step may you find strength and peace and remember she was loved by all. I am here if you need me, Im thinking of you every day. All my love today and all the years to come.
