We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Stewart Baxter Funeral & Memorial Services – Cedar Rapids
Hopefully this tree will spread as much love and happiness as Kyla did in her short time on this earth. Sent with love and remembrance,
Loving memory of you my dear friend
I’m so sorry for all of the family and her her children Kyla was very good friends with my daughter Carrie Fraley we went to garage sales together in all of that and had so much laughs and fun Kyla I’ll miss you and I’ll miss your laughs rest in peace my friend
With deepest sympathy,
I met Kyla at Sammy’s Lounge way back in 2009 or 10. She admired my singing for karaoke, & she introduced herself to me, & she sparked up a conversation with me like she knew me all her life. She wanted to sing the song “Summer Nights” with me so we sung it together, and she had such a wonderful voice. We always stayed in touch, & she got very excited of meeting my wife Brooke. She was truly one of the kindest people I’ve ever gotten a pleasure to know. She loved her family, her daughter River Rose, her stepson Parker unconditionally. She loved her soulmate Travis very much. She cared about all her friends, & was always there for anybody who needed her. She was never judgmental towards anybody, & was a very accepting person. She touched so many lives & will be deeply missed. Rest Easy Kyla 💔 🕊
With deepest sympathy
All my love.
Your family is in my prayers. Bringing strength and love your way in the coming weeks.
Thought and prayers go out the family you will be missed 🙁
Surrounding you with love and prayers. God Bless.
Our sympathies to you and your family
Oh my dear Kyla. I am so glad I met you in June 2007. We quickly became the best of friends, Inseparable actually. Moved in with eachother just a few months later. We went through SO much back then. If it wasn’t for you, Max and I probably wouldn’t have hit it off so fast like we did. I’m so thankful for that. And you never let it go unknown. 😉 I will forever cherish all our memories from going to palisades, adventureland to cruising in your little red car blasting all the music 🎶 just to dance. I love you so much. I will forever cherish the memories we shared.
You gave so much to this world. Im going to miss you so much my friend.
Marvin, Andrea, and Barbara we love you
Nothing will ever be the same without you, sister. We love you so much, and will always miss you.

My sweet Kyla-
Sooo many memories, I wouldn’t even know where to begin. You’ve held me as I’ve cried, and I’ve held you as you cried.. We had night long talks about our past, planning our future, and figuring out our present when we rekindled as adults, fresh out of high school. So many laughs. Sooo many fun times at the bars.. So many amazing slumber parties at your Moms’ after graduation, where we acted the same way we did during slumbers during Coolidge days! Talking about boys (and girls, haha!) ALL the PERKINS trips! We had a lot to catch up on. I loved watching River grow, and I will continue to watch her become an amazing young lady just like her Mama through Travis and your family. My heart is broken for your entire family, your children, your finance, and the entire village of friends you have that love you dearly! I will miss your Snaps. I will miss you. Please watch over us all, until we meet next time, Kyla. I love you.
We’re so very sorry for your incredible loss. Kyla touched so many lives and was an amazing soul. With love and hugs.
Our hearts and hugs go out to you all!
Always in our thoughts. Forever in our hearts!
Sorry for your loss. We are thinking of you.
Kyla will be missed dearly. She was a wonderful person who was taken too soon. Our deepest condolences for you and your family.
May your heart and soul find peace and comfort.
