Kaylah you will be missed so much. I just loved your smile and the way you made everyone feel so comfortable. You were so smart. I loved our intellectual conversations. I felt smarter just being next to you. We love you and can’t wait to see you again.

May Jehovah keep your family strong in faith. Tara you and your family were the first family my girls and hung out with at the hall. We have always had a connection. Kaylah’s spirit lives on in everyone she came in contact with.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you Ms. Sarah, and all of your family.

Kaylah was one of the brightest students I had at Wilmington Early College High School. She was not just a great scholar, she had the most creative soul and beautiful heart. Kaylah was not only the valedictorian for her graduating class at WECHS but she also earned the Spanish Award from me for her class. She was talented in so many ways! Kaylah was so well-liked by everyone. She was funny, kind, witty, and just plain good energy to be around. I last saw Kaylah in 2019 on the UNCW campus. I was no longer teaching at WECHS and she was in her last year as a nursing student at UNCW. She gave me the biggest hug and smile and updated me on her exciting life plans. I told her I was so proud of her and so happy to have bumped into her. I wish I could have told her that more recently! Kaylah, I will be forever honored my life crossed with yours even if for a brief while. You are so loved and never forgotten. Wishing her family so much healing and peace.

Sorry for the loss of this bright young lady... Prayers of comfort to the family.
