I didn't know Kaiea personally but I knew her through my granddaughter Cadence Heidenreich. For a while in 2018 I was picking Cadence up from her dance studio and it was there that I saw Kaiea. I was surprised at the physical likeness of the two girls. I took this picture after one of their classes and I always thought they could have been sisters. I was shocked when I heard what had happened. My heart goes out to your family over their loss and why does it have to happen to such a beautiful person? Only God knows that answer. I have attached the photograph of the two girls and wish I had known her better. John

I did not know Kaiea, but as a parent of 3 teenagers, my heart aches for the pain you and your family are feeling right now. May you find peace and strength in the days to come. She sounds like an amazingly kind and gentle young lady who´s light will continue to shine in those that she loves dearly. My condolences to her family

one time in 7th or 8th grade some of my friends and i were sitting at this blue bench doing science papers... on the other side of the field sat kaiea and madison doing there work... kaiea got up and walked over to me with a happy and upbeat looking walk and in her light and calming voice asked me on a date... the only reason i said no is because thought it was a dare... kaiea was quiet but probably the nicest girl at the school... i really wish i had spent more time with her because she was truly an amazing person... thank you kaiea for the positive memories... i will be praying for her and her loved ones.
