I only knew of her and her husband and their daughter kaylynn for a couple months on and off but Kaycee seemed to be genuine and she was complimentative a lot and chill a lot. I feel absolutely horrible for what happened to her and her daughter and husband. May she rest in peace. And I hope her daughter can get all the help she needs.
Oh sweet Kaycee! You were one of my first friends in Malcolm. You were there for me at times I felt I had nobody. We lost contact over the years but you always will hold a special place in my heart. I’m praying for your family. I’m sure you’re loving it in heaven with your dad and brother. I’ll see you when I get there friend.
