I did not know Kali had passed and I am devastated in learning it today in a post about honoring SSS students.  As a bus driver for JCPS I met her spunky self!  She was such a social girl and helpful to everyone!  Please accept my delayed sympathies and know that I will not ever forget her!  Toni Lee

I was saddened to hear of the loss of Kali Marie.  She was a unforgettable  young lady. My deepest condolences and prayers  to the family.

Kali was truly a gift from god🦋. I had the pleasure of teaching Kali her freshman year at Corinth Holders High School. She was a bright light that wanted to spread the word of god. I saved many of scriptures and inspirations she gave to me through out the year.  She was an old soul that knew the meaning of life. I learned a lot from Kali and will never forget her big smiling face. After reading her sweet notes that she gave me years ago, I know she is shining down on all of us.

I will never forget Kali's sheer spunk and the way she wanted to do everything, see everything, and be involved.  It was so great to teach her at Archer Lodge Middle and to see her grow up.  I will miss not knowing what she would have done next with her life, it is certain it would have been great!  Good-bye Kali, until we meet again in heaven.

Kali Marie would come to my office every day at Corinth Holders High School for a hug and a quiet place to pray. She wrote me many inspirational notes and was always such a sweet encouragement to me as an Assistant Principal.  I will always remember her precious spirit. I am comforted in knowing she is in the arms of Jesus. Much love and prayers to her family.

Kali was an amazing person and I have thought about her often since she left Archer Lodge Middle. She is truly missed.

This was taken just last year.  This is a GREAT picture of Kali with her brothers and sister and cousins. I will remember Kali’s Loving ways forever and always. ❤️ XO Love from, Aunt Shelly

Kali Marie helped with children's church. No matter what the task, she did it!  She'd make 200 cards for nursing home residents, the prayer shawls and shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. I will MISS her. Love Paige ❤️

I had the honor of knowing Kali at Corinth Holders High School her freshman year as well as Smithfield-Selma High School these last couple of years.   She would often come to my office at both schools and smile, chit-chat, and enjoy a few pieces of candy.   I will definitely remember her charm, wit, and quick sense of humor during these visits.  She was very strong and showed kindness and peace to everyone.  

My heart and prayers go out to the family and all those who knew her.  May God's peace be with you!
