Cannot believe it has been 3yrs since the lord took u home.

Wow 2yrs have passed already. Your mom is trying her best to carry on without you but she is having a hard time losing her daughter and best friend

I don't really know her all that well but what I can say from the time I did no her, was that she was fun, funny,can make you laugh, amazing cobfindence. R.i p. Kaylee..

I love you  girl you were always my rock friend I think about you all the time  it’s so hard to pass bye your house and not be able to stop a see you I miss you friend ❤️

I met Kaylee in the 8th grade. I still remember that day like it was just yesterday. She was the new girl in class but she instantly blended right into the flow of things.  I was the shy timid girl who rather sit at the back of the class to avoid unnecessary attention. I dont know what she saw in me but she came over and sat right next to me and started a conversation. I was nervous at first but Kaylee had the most openly friendly and inviting personality. She could make anyone feel at ease and its one of the things I've always admired about her. After that day things became effortless between us. We went everywhere together and everybody knew us as a team. I cant think of  my teenage years without reminiscing the many memories we shared together. Every time we reconnected we spent most of our conversations laughing and joking about memories good and bad. I didnt know what to write because I could write a book about our times together.  Kaylee was the most giving person, she would bend over backwards to help someone in need and i have seen her do it many times. She was always the life of the party and the comedian that brought smiles and laughter everywhere she went.  When she cared about you she would move mountains in order to be there for you when you needed her.  To me, she was a ray of sunshine that could light even the darkest of nights. If she were here for me to say one last thing I would tell her, "thank you for choosing me to be your friend and seeing my worth. I love you sis, always and forever. I will keep our memories close to my heart."

Last year 2019 we celebrated Thanksgiving at our brother Kelley’s house. It was a very memorable day and a very memorable time.  We did this for our dad who was ill and going in for surgery January 2020. Unbeknownst to all of us...it was Kaylee’s last Thanksgiving on earth. She will be at the banqueting table in heaven now! 💜

I miss you so much and I always think about all the memories we shared together, going clubbing in Modesto to that Too-short concert that night was fun. I love you Kaylee and miss you so much

Kaylee, 
A wonderful mother and friend always a listening ear when I needed one! I’ll always remember her beautiful smile and the few memories we did make with the girls at Shaffer Bridge!!! May you Rest In Peace Girl I’ll always love you for everything you did for me!!! Fly High and I know you’ll be looking down on your girls!!

I remembered and always will how much she loved her daughters more than she loved herself her daughters were everything to her and I also remember how she was over protected and once she stood up for me la wuera 

I remember when Kaylee was born & the shine in Kelley's face.  It was obvious of his pride for Kaylee's birth.  As Kaylee got older, you could tell the shine from her for her Dad.  She was Daddy's girl.  I remember Kelley working on his car.  He would be underneath of it & would ask Kaylee to hand him an open end 1/2" wrench.  She would pick it up among other wrenches laying there.  Hand it to him in about 5 seconds.  This was when she was 5 years old.  I was amazed how she could tell the difference of a 1/2" open end wrench & a 9/16" boxed end wrench or whatever else was laying there.  You will be missed, Kaylee.  Say hello to Grandma Mary for me & tell her I miss her.

I didn’t get to know Kaylee as well as some but from what I know of her was her strength, her willingness to put her girls first & I know she loved them dearly. She has now gained her wings & I know each & everyday she is watching over them. The last thing I saw on Facebook was that she was expecting & how excited she was to be pregnant. All was taken away too soon, too young to leave but know that there is not one second of everyday that she is not watching over all of you, protecting and loving you. This is the Kaylee I knew. I wish we could turn the clock back but god called her home early.  Kaylee is so loved by many as she touched so many people & im sure they are absolutely loving Kaylee in heaven. In loving memory, RIP Kaylee.

I never just one time we went to Aunt Jackie's house and we were all breakdancing on a big piece of cardboard Kaylee was the only girl you know she never let that stop her you know being a girl I love you Kaylee and I miss you sweet dreams because in Destin

Something that comes to mind every time I think of Kaylee, (which is daily since this happened), is when she walked to my house in Atwater on Carter Way and was really upset.  She was'nt crying though at least not at that moment.  Anyway, she told me that a whole group of kids, girls and guys, had jumped her when they got off the school bus!  I was like,  "What!",  What for?  Well, it just so happened that both of my boys were home at the time and they heard Kaylee telling me what happenend.  They took off like a shot boy!  When they got back, they told Kaylee that there was a bunch of kids still at the bus stop ranting about the incident.  They walked up to the crowd and let them know who they were.  They went on to putting the fear of God into any of them whom ever laid a hand on her again!  Jackie said she didn't ever have another problem with it!
This is her 2nd cousin Terry.  I loved her dearly, and will never forget.


Even though Kaylee is surely missing her loved ones, we must try to take comfort in knowing that she is rejoicing with the Lord in a place that is more awesome than we can imagine. All who love the Lord are citizens of Heaven sojourning on earth until it is their time to go home.  To Bryana & Brooklin:  Your Mother loved you so much & is missing you as much or more than you miss her, but she will be with our Lord in heaven.  So, many years from now, when it is your time to leave this world, know that your Mother & other loved ones will be waiting in heaven with smiles on their faces, tears in their eyes, & open arms! I pray the Lord sends you His comfort & peace.
                                                                                     Love,
                                                                                        Aunt Melody

Kaylee, you will forever be missed. Though we don’t get together often.  I always knew you and your mama was my ride or die chicks.  Your heart was bigger than many knew and your love for the Lord was so great.  I loved to hear you talk about the Lord and pray.  You loved your girls more than life itself and fought to be the very best Momma just for them.  Your strength was beyond amazing. I loved your smile, they way you could crack us up and make us cry until we peed our pants. You and your Momma have the gift of making people laugh. And that’s was the best.  Bri and Brook never forget how much your Momma loved you both.  And know she will always be watching over you daily.  She will always be in your heart and your guardian Angel.  Love you both and know my heart is with you always and you Oma and entire family.  

Kaylee was my only niece and the news of her death was unexpected and shocking. Kaylee was very smart, had a great sense of humor, a caring heart, and was very passionate about her daughters, family, and football! Kaylee loved the Raiders and she knew football!! So much so, that I think she missed her calling to work for the NFL! I am heartbroken for her beautiful daughters that she loved so deeply. I am also heartbroken for my brother and sister in law. What do you say to someone that loses a child? 
Unfortunately it had been a while since Kaylee and I spoke and I am sorry for the time I lost with her. I will never get a chance to see her and speak with her again. Kaylee, keep watching over your girls and family with Grandma Mary. I know you are with her. I love you Kaylee. 
Love, Aunt Sandra

Kaylee you were the best sister-in-law I could have asked for. You would do anything to protect your family like show up for me with Bryana on your hip and Brooklynn in your womb just because some girls wanted to jump me. You were an amazing auntie to our boys. Our boys loved every ounce of your being. They loved when you gave them snacks and took them places. I loved that our children grew up next door to each other. They acted more like brothers and sisters because of it. You were so goofy. You would always sing to me there's a spider on your face song. I will never forget the way we partied. You will always be my favorite dance partner. I will forever miss and love you. RIP KAYLEE
Ps. I'm still waiting for you to pull up in the driveway or open your front door. See you later.

You and Kody were the cousins who we grew up with and loved seeing! Mud fights, laughter, real fights (lol), playing with all your fun toys (bone baby was the best!) ... you always shared all of your treasures. Hanging out in your room. When you and Kyle pretended to get married and exchanged plastic rings (lol). We had lots of fun those summers as kiddos! 

I still cannot believe that you are not here on this earth anymore. You left behind a grieving family and two beautiful girls! Love you Kaylee. You will forever be missed!! 

Kaylee... what can I say. You were my very first best friend. “A1 since Day1” was your favorite thing to tell me. We would always joke around this time of year and especially today (my birthday) because I was once again “older” than you. Now you will forever be 32 and I will forever be older than you. My favorite memories of you will always be the way you could light up an entire room with your smile and laughter.  My favorite vacations always included you. I miss our daily talks. 

Bree&Brook,
I just want you to know what an Amazing, Kind-Hearted woman your Mother was. Your Mama loved you girls with all of her heart. She would do Anything for you two, even if it meant she went without. You girls were her first priority.  She would fight tooth and nail for you babygirls to make sure you had everything you needed, a good education, and to make sure you both knew you were loved beyond words. 
Your Mother Kaylee had a Heart of Gold. I met her in 2015 when I got together with your moms Best Friend/Sister Bug (Julia). Your mom didn’t even know me yet, besides from Facebook and what Julie told her. She accepted me right away and made me feel like we had known each other for years. 
She literally would give the shirt off her back to anyone in need. It wouldn’t matter if she knew you or not that was just the person she was. She would spend her last dollar on someone else just to make sure they were fed or had something to drink. 
Your Mama was such a Beautiful Soul. I’m so sorry she was taken from you girls at such a young age, but I want you to know she’s Always watching over you both and she loved you with all of her heart. 
We miss and love you, Kaylee.
Rest In Peace, Beautiful.
Until we meet again.

Love,
Brandee Trumbull.

I remember when KayLee was 2 days old after about 30 minutes of trying to change her diaper Kelly Bridgford says you want me to help you lol. I used to put my ear close to her face so i could her her breath since she slept all night from day 1. KayLee used to hand me tools when i fixed cars and loved getting dirty. She learned to ride a 2 wheel bike at age 3. Her and Kody would play me basketball 2 on 1 and i had to shoot left handed. If you messed with KayLee her brother was there. If you messed with Kody his sister was there because we all had each others back. KayLee was beautiful, highly intelligent, loved her girls Bree and Brook more than anything. I love and miss you so very very much. LOVE YOUR DAD 

I've known Kaylee her whole life, she was always such a Happy girl. I remember when she was little she was always laughing and very rambunctious. She Loved life and she was always a go-getter!

Thank you for protecting me and always having my back. I miss you so much sis. Fly high baby girl! Love you forever and always 

My fondest memory of kaylee was the time our father kaylee and myself went on a legendary bike ride. we rode from Atwater to almost chowchilla. we were attacked by dogs on a canal, suffered through 2 flat tires and ran out of water so we stopped for a fill up. on our way way home from this bike ride it began to rain so we tried to speed up our ride home but the weather took a turn for the worst, it started hailing hard kaylee and myself were trapped under a tree being pelted by hail our dad Kelley was leaded up against a wall we waved him over only to find out he was safe and we drew home out to the hell storm lol. He led us to the church on juniper and called our grandma Mary to which she came and picked us up and our bikes and that was about the last bike ride we took.  

Hello my butterfly I miss seeing you every day you were so funny and always there when I needed you i’m going to miss driving around the corner seeing you outside me pulling over and us chopping it up while the girls played outside you always have some crazy story to tell me I wish you were still here but God had other plans may your soul rest in peace love you Kaylee B ❤️❤️❤️😇😇😇

Kaylee,  you were always so silly, growing up. It was one of my favorite things about you. You’re beautiful inside and out. With the prettiest blue eyes. You always put your girls first, and gave them the best of everything. You knew what it meant to be strong, and you were one of the strongest people I know.  You will be forever missed. And always remembered. We love you, Kaylee! RIP beautiful girl!! 

Kaylee, I remember you as a young girl hanging out at the Thomas Pit Stop, Chad teasing you, you've always been a sweet girl, your Facebook live videos could always make me laugh, there were days it was just what i needed, i miss seeing your sweet face and funny videos on Facebook..RIP pretty girl💜

Kaylee you were beautiful inside and out! You were an amazing momma and fought for a better life for your girls always! Your laugh was  one of a kind and so was your sense of humor! You were loved by many. I thank God for the memories I do have with you! Rest easy my beautiful friend. I love you! 

You will always be heavy on my mind cousin still waiting for that check up text, how you would always do EVERYDAY you would be the only one to check up on me. And that’s a fact you will always be loved and remembered I will make sure the legendary Kaylee Brower will be remembered and never forgotten. you will always be in my heart! I love you cousin and miss you so much! I will never forget the times we had when we finally got to see each other. I will miss all the stupid non sense we would talk about and all the stupid crap we would do when we were around each other.  you will always be loved, and you will never be forgotten! love you so much! rest in paradise with your beautiful soul...

Im going to miss you , you made me feel like family always ❤ rest in peace cousin. 

She was my big cousin and I grew up with her she practically raised me for a short period of time I love and miss you cousin #gone but never forgotten

You're Beautiful
by Phil Wickham

I see Your face in every sunrise
The colors of the morning are inside Your eyes
The world awakens in the light of the day
I look up to the sky and say
You're beautiful

I see Your power in the moonlit night
Where planets are in motion and galaxies are bright
We are amazed in the light of the stars
It's all proclaiming who You are
You're beautiful, You're beautiful

I see You there hanging on a tree
You bled and then You died and then You rose again for me
Now You are sitting on Your heavenly throne
Soon we will be coming home
You're beautiful, You're beautiful

When we arrive at eternity's shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We'll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we'll sing
You're beautiful

I sit here trying to put into words what to say. The shock of you being gone hasn't left. Memories of you and my girls coloring together when they were little is what I remember the most. You had a way with them and they just fell in love with you. We may not have seen you very much over the years but through Instagram and Facebook I was able to get a peek at how much you had overcome. No matter how much I know you're gone I still can't believe it! You will be missed so much. We love you and our thoughts and prayers are with you Aunt Jackie and Uncle Kelly. 

I love how Kaylee made her cousins (my kids) feel special. She brought them gifts, held most of them when they were babies, and liked to come to our house to visit them. She told my son, Kyle, "Always remember that I'm your elder!" (She was two days older than he was, lol!)

Some of our favorite memories about our mom: 
   We loved our mom's smile and her good personality (she made us laugh). She gave us the best hugs, took us out to eat, bought us toys, took us on bike rides, took us to Rockin Jump, and made us macaroni and cheese.  She was basically the best mom ever. She was so beautiful.  We were lucky to spend the last nine years (Bree) and eight years (Brook) of our lives with her.  No other person can replace her in our hearts.

Uncle Kelly,Kyle and your cussins are devastated with broken hearts,they say everything happens for a reason but I’m having trouble figuring this one out.only time will tell why it happened but time will never mend our broken hearts.(RIP) BABY AKA KAYLEE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kaylee you will be missed but never forgotten! You are loved more and by more people than you ever realized I am sure! RIP little cousin. Rest In Peace knowing your girls are the families #1 priority! ❤️❤️

There are so many beautiful pictures...

Cousins and Kaylee

Aunt Bobbie loved you before you were born.  From the beginning you were full of personality...causing us all to smile or laugh.  You are my sisters only daughter...she watched you take your first breath and your last. They say time heals all wounds, but there will forever be a void in our lives without your presence.  
You were not just a daughter to your mother...you were her best friend too. You were not just a daughter to your dad, but his football buddy as well! You were not just a big sister to your brother and his family, but a protector as well! You were a mommy to your girls...and loved them with all you had within you!
Your beautiful smile, those blue eyes, and your unique voice will forever be missed.
We do have our Lord Jesus Christ, our precious memories, and pictures to sustain us, as you have now gone on before us.
I know you would say not to grieve, to be happy, and to always say I love you.  Those words you used freely.
Only God knows the whys...RIP Kaylee and enjoy your little baby in heaven.  
Grandma Babe always said she would be waiting by the river...
With all our Love,
Uncle Jim, Aunt Bobbie, Joshua, Jacob, and our little                        Olivia Rose Kinser.






Girls...your mommy loved you both so very much!  I was amazed at how overstocked her home was with necessities.  Always worried she would run low or be without.  You both were her reason! 
She loved the Lord and I am sure would like to see you both continue to do the same.  
She is resting now with your little baby sibling and waiting to see you both again!  

Love you both so very much...
Aunt Bobbie

Bold with a heart full of gold ... I pray for the entire family! I pray the girls will always feel you there with them.
