I shared s photo of Kaci and I from a company Halloween party. I didn’t remember the exact day, but it was a treasured memory. She was a light shining bright every where she went. This loss most definitely finds deep in the heart.
I went to church with her she was a great person and she will be missed. Praying for her boys and her family.

Beautiful Kaci was so sweet and had a loving heart.❤️ She loved children! When we would travel to Memphis our Grandson, Blayne was a baby.. Kaci would want to hold and play with Blayne.. I think She was 12 years old at the time and she enjoyed being with all the children. Great memories I’ll always cherish! Praying for God’s comfort and peace! 🙏🙏💕

Kaci,
I will always remember your smile you will truly be missed love you uncle Ricky
Took me awhile to write this honestly it feels like a whole chuck of my life has been ripped out of me to be honest. Kaci, I am glad you are in a better place but it has been very hard for me these past couple days to even write this. I am really just glad we had the time we had laughing at the kids as they were being silly to try to get our attention lol. I remember when we left Florida that you told me you loved the ocean and I wanted to visit again to stay longer I wished we had to be honest. Picked out this particular candle color because I know you said you loved the ocean and this color made you happy. My favorite time with you was when we were dancing in the living room it was so magical and genuine much like yourself to be able to embrace the whole room and fill it with light. That being said you were taken WAY too soon and you WILL BE GREATLY MISSED by all of us and I will never forget you and the great times that we had together. Save me a spot up there and I’ll bring the street tacos and bloody marys lol. I will be praying for the family and my deepest condolences goes to them I also wanna thank you for accepting as family even though you did not have to and I will be forever grateful for that.
My Kaci, we met a short 8 years ago but it seems life a lifetime. You always wanted the world to know you LOVED being a mom and loved your family. We started a journey working together and an our friendship began. My heart hurts to know that you are no longer here on this side of life but I have no doubt that your bright smile and bubbly personality will light up heaven! Rest in paradise my sweet girl I love you and will miss you dearly, but I will embrace every moment of Love and Laugher we shared. Praying for your family and your precious babies.
Sweet Kaci,
I met you about 7 years ago at work and I was drawn to you from the start. Your smile and laughter could light up a room. You were the best Mom and those boys were your world. You also talked about your granddaddy all the time and how much you loved him.
This world is alittle less brighter without you in it, but I take comfort knowing I will see you again. Rest easy sweet Kaci. I Love you
Prayers for the family and children! Kaci you had a wonderful soul, and a beautiful smile. You will be missed by many!
Helen and family, I am so so sorry to hear of Kaci’s passing! Praying for you and for everyone! Thinking of the entire family. She was loved by many!! Rest in peace baby girl!
So sorry to hear this. Beautiful lady.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family
