The family expresses their gratitude to Kaylie's many friends who visited the hospital and demonstrated their love and caring of Kaylie so frequently and in so many ways. It was a comfort to know that Kaylie had such great friends. We also are grateful to the wonderful and caring ICU nurses and staff at the Scottsdale Osborn Hospital in Scottsdale, AZ. Not only did they care for Kaylie but they were supportive and compassionate with Kaylie's family and friends. Kaylie loved animals, especially dogs and cats, so in lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Friends of Austin Animal Center, 7201 Levander Loop, Austin, TX 78702 or www.friendsofaustinanimalcenter.com. Kaylie, we love you and miss you, but your loving spirit and dazzling smile will live in our hearts forever.
