Hannah's Words at the CAS Memorial

We were lucky. I cherished every moment I had with you and I’m sure everyone around us did, too. There are no words to describe how much I miss you, and I could never put into words how much I care, but I’m sure it’s been said a million times, in this room—I’m just here saying it once again—that we miss you.

In our own way we got to see a glimpse of you, an amazing person.

You will never fade. In my mind I see that smile, those eyes, your laugh.

One of a kind. Truly.

Always surprising and always kind. A strong, sure guy, but a sweetheart.

As real as it gets, and we will never forget ‘cause you were one of the best.

You showed me many things and I am thankful for every second of it.

I do, at this moment have only one regret: that I didn’t get to tell you one last time that I love you. I promise I will always love and honor you.

To Kyle’s family, I hope the love here will keep you strong. You helped Kyle become the amazing person he was and he shared that Love and Light with everyone around him. I am so grateful to know you and you will always have a special place in my heart.

If you’re listening, Kyle,

I love you

I miss you.
