I turn'd to you with a Hold Onto Biggest Hug not wonting to let you go. ever, You so tiny like your auntie I wisperd , Then I wisperd to you again Gental Soft words I've Ever said to MY LITTLE CINDERELLA AUNT BRENDA LOVES YOU TOO..............
Kayla and I didn't get to spend much time together because of the distance between where we live. I have a few memories I will always remember.
Dad & Debbie's wedding -- Kayla and I sat beside each other at the head table. The wine server came by and Kayla held out her glass - the server asked are you 19? - Kayla and I looked at each other and I said "yes". We both chuckled after the server walked away. After the meal the music started and everyone started dancing. I couldn't find Kayla all night - the last I saw her was at the meal. I had to bring the gifts to Dad & Debbie's room at the end of the evening --- where was Kayla --- sound asleep on Dad & Debbie's bed.....she was so tired. We had all thought she had gone out with friends!
The attached picture I took that day at the head table. Kayla was cold and needed a jacket.
Kayla meeting Lucas -- Kayla came to the hospital with Dad & Debbie to meet Lucas. Lucas was in the nursery still and the day Kayla was there he was in the jaundise machine getting the treatment. I can't remember who took Kayla to the nursery first but she never came back to my room. Awhile later I went down to the nursery and there she was sitting beside Lucas. She didn't want to leave him. She wouldn't stop telling me how cute he is and how much she loves babies. Then something funny happened (I never did tell her) she asked me if I had ever thought of the name "Alexander" - I told her that I couldn't name him that as I have a cousin named Alex.
What I didn't tell Kayla is while I was in the hospital I was on morphine shots for pain. At times I was very confused and for the first few days after I had Lucas I kept referring to him as "Alex" and my husband Matt kept giving me trouble and asking why I kept calling him that.
When Kayla asked me if I'd ever considered that name it truly freaked me out LOL
After everyone left for visiting I told Matt that Kayla had asked if I'd ever considered that name and it got him too.
I will always remember Kayla as a loving, fearless and precious girl. I am very sad her life ended so quickly but I am very thankful to have had those few times with her.
She is very loved by all of the Veenstra family.
Kayla, you will always and forever be in our hearts. I promise that Lucas will know how much he meant to you.
Wow this day has come so suddenly, and i never got the chance to tell you goodbye. I dont want you to think that all my tears were for knowing that your gone and there's nothing anyone can do about it, my tears for you Kayla were tears of friendship and tears of happyness because even though your gone you are missed and still loved by so many. I didnt know you for that long and i really wish i would have got to know you more but i guess unexpected things in life have to happen and its really sad it had to happen to such a beautiful, caring, friendly girl like you. When we met for the first time i knew right away that you were a very good person and would never turn on someone. You were a great friend and i miss you alot. You are missed by so many, but loved by more. I really had only one wish after you passed away and that was i really wished i knew that night was coming so i could have said my last words to you. I am sure your family is just heart broken over everything because i know i am. You ment alot to me and all your other friends and ment everything to your family. I really miss you and wish i could see your gorgeous, happy face again, but all there is left to remember you by is the memories we have and pictures of you. Is hard seeing your face in a picture and knowing your gone thats so hard. I miss you so much Kayla and i really hope you are watching over me because you are always on my mind and forever in my heart. I miss you hunn, Love you always and forever..

to my sweet KK: I remember well when u came into my life as a shy 9 yr old. Eventually you warmed up to me and one day asked me if it was ok to call me Dad, i told u dont ever call me anything but Dad. Some gr8 memories with u are forever etched in my mind. i remember ur love of animals, with rabbitts and hampsters at our house near Scotland, and also ur passion for horses. i remember the good times on the trampoline and in our pool. you liked to take the riding mower for a spin too lol. the gr8 times at Waterford ponds fishing, swimming, and you and Tasha hunting frogs. Turkey Point swimming,, riding on my motorcycle ( altho ur mom was nervous about it for a while ). you were on ur to becoming a sweet young lady ( with a stubborn streak i mite add lol ) before you left us all too soon. i will always love you my little KK. i miss you honey. Dad
