I’m so proud of him for accomplishing his goals and owning a successful business during his lifetime. Kayla was such a beautiful person. Every time I saw her, she was so sweet to me. I wish that we could rewind time to prevent tragedies from ever happening. My deepest condolences go to their son and families.
