Sweet memories of Kiara abound throughout our house. She drew this when she was 6, and I was with her when her art teacher gave her an award, and told her she was the best artist in the school. I was, and remain, proud of Kiara. Had she lived on here on Earth, she could have become a very happy and famous artist. I so long to again be with Kiara.
Kiara's beautiful piano playing always added to our pleasure. These were indeed happy times.
Kiara gets plenty of loving from Brian, Daddy, and Sean.
Delaney is a relatively new, and loyal, friend of Kiara.

This is Kiara's last photo. She did face painting at a church's Easter egg hunt, we later had a family dinner at El Bracero, and she and I watched a movie at home. We said the Lord's Prayer and kissed goodnight, never thinking of an ending of her life here with us.
Friendly Gatlinburg, TN parrots!
