Sharing knowledge and bringing awareness to this cause was important to her.

Above all, Kaylee’s greatest joy was her family.

Kaylee also embraced a motherly role with Aaron’s children, Charles, Scarlett, and Ember, loving and caring for them as her own. She had a special way of making those around her feel valued, loved, and cared for. Kaylee would go out of her way to be there for others, offering kindness and love to those fortunate enough to be part of her life. Her caring heart and the love she shared with her family and friends will remain a lasting part of her legacy.
