We want to thank Kayla Garces for reaching out and trusting us with her story — you’re not alone, and this community stands with you.
Her mother loved Styx and the Bee Gees, and she proudly served 21 years in the National Guard Army. She was also a big fan of the Atlanta Braves and the Denver Broncos — passions that brought her so much joy. A beautiful life, a strong spirit, and a bond that lives on. 🖤
