"I'd like the memory of me to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo whispering softly down the ways, 
of happy times and laughing times, and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve, to dry before the sun
of happy memories that I leave when life is done"

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of you who prayed for Kiana while she was ill, who were there with us physically or kept us in your thoughts and prayers on the day, 6 months ago, when we said goodbye to our sweet girl, and every day since then. Thank you to everyone who helped us financially, brought us meals or other gifts, who joined us on the day of her funeral service, who helped us with our house, yard and other day to day tasks that have been challenging in the midst of our grief, and everyone who remembered us in these last six months. 

Love, 
Kara and Aliah
