Weber claims everyone who knew this courageous child was simply touched by her spirit, even in the worst of situations. She says she remembers Kayla "waving to the patients. Blowing kisses to the nurses. Making everyone laugh. Laughing at herself. She was just hilarious. And I said, Kayla, why did god bless me with you? Why did he choose me? I’m so lucky to be your mother."

Write a message on it, and send it to heaven. And let her know that we'll never forget her. And we'll honor her and her name everyday." So the legacy of Kayla’s short life can live on forever.
