*Editor’s Note: Kayron, I’ve known you since you were 16 years old. You were a beautiful young lady. You worked hard that first year after I met you, working in construction through some government program which tore down a cabin and moved it to a state park…I wish I had paid more attention then I would know where. You learned to read the Bible after I met you and that was quite impressive to me since I knew that you had a difficult time in school especially with reading skills. Through the years, you came to me to ask my advice on various subjects and situations. I wish I could have been more help to you. I feel like I let you down many times.  You bore two beautiful daughters and you did the best you knew how.  I am proud of you. I love you, always will, and I will miss you so much. I wish you could have had an easier life; but we are not always guaranteed that. You knew Jesus and He Knows You! That is what’s important! Sweet Peace in Jesus my dear sweet Kayron.
