Kaylee's smile and sweet personality was a daily gift in my English classroom. It was a blessing to share 8th grade with her! My deepest sympathy and prayers are with all who loved this remarkable young lady.

Message from Delta Zeta Iota Chapter

Even though I never met Kaylee, I heard about her accident after her grand-big Courtney posted about her in a national Delta Zeta group on facebook. My sisters and I here in Iowa did our best to purchase shirts and donate for medical expenses to support Kaylee in her fight, and we are so incredibly saddened to learn of the loss of such a beautiful and well-loved sister across the country. Sending thoughts, prayers, and love that is ever steadfast to all those who loved Kaylee. She could only have been incredibly special for the lord to have taken her so soon.

I wish to express my sincerest condolences in the loss of your beautiful daughter. She was a sweet person with a soft voice and a sharp wit. She came into our lives three years ago and it was always a pleasure to have her here.
She and Corey truly loved each other and they were determined to make their relationship last. I can feel some of what you feel as I lost my daughter also. There is nothing I can say that will ease your pain right now but rest assured we will see this beautiful angel in heaven. She and I became friends and she always hugged me and told me she loved me before she left. I was always proud she and Corey found each other and he is suffering so much now without the young woman he could never say no to. God bless you all and I pray that you can accept Corey as the young man she loved.May God be with us all in the days that follow

Please accept my deep condolences on the death of your loved Kaylee. Losing loved ones personally I know it is very painful.

The comfort I received from the Bible has give me hope. The beautiful hope of seeing my loved ones again.

This is the guarantee of Jesus Christ... JOHN 11:25,26 " Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life; and everyone that is living and exercises faith in me will never die at all. "

Message from Becky Larson

Please accept our deepest sympathies. Please know that your grief is shared by many and most especially by the God of Heaven and Earth, Jehovah God.

His inspired words say that he yearns to bring your daughter back to life. (Job 14:14,15) For God promises to "wipe out every tear" and that "death will be no more." (Revelation 21:3,4) Jehovah God also assures us that He is "near to those that are broken at heart." (Psalms 34:18)

These faithful and true words are of comfort to my husband and I. It is our prayer that they comfort you as well.

Deepest sympathy to the Gilleland family- Kaylee was a beautiful, smart and sweet young lady. I had the pleasure of knowing her when she was 4 years old at Grace Preschool and again when I moved to Clover High. You have raised a wonderful daughter and I pray that you find comfort in your grief and sadness.

Message from R Brown

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter. One of the most difficult things we have to deal with is the death of a loved one. The Bible promise; "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more. Neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things has passed away." (Revelation 21:4) The Bible gives us hope that one day our dead loved ones will be brought back to life. I hope this message offers comfort in your time of sadness.

To Kaylees' family, Though we didn't know Kaylee, we prayed for her consistently when we found out about the accident. It breaks our hearts for you and though there are no clear answers as to why God chose to take Kaylee home, we trust God that he knows best. You will see Kaylee again and we are praying for you as you face life here without her. Know Kaylee is loved by many who have never met her all around the country and world.
