Kayla Marie Ortiz's Obituary
Kayla Ortiz
May 16, 1992 – March 11, 2015
If you were lucky enough to know Kayla, then you knew of her effervescence, her sparkling eyes and bright smile and gentle spirit. If you were lucky to spend just a minute in her company then you left that moment in time feeling better about yourself because of her open heart and how she so generously shared a smile or a kind word. How she said something to lift your mood and improve your outlook on the day!
Kayla was a true and genuine friend. She just loved to document special occasions and simple everyday living with pictures she proudly displayed in her room and in scrapbooks as to never forget memories she made with the people she loved the most. She was the dependable friend, last minute babysitter, errand runner. She was the cheerleader for all causes!
Most of all Kayla loved her family and it is from that bond and commitment to being a part of something solid that she flourished as a young woman, friend and Daughter.
We will forever remember her happy eyes and the smile that could light the evening sky. We will forever hold on to special times spent together, so many and most of all we will honor her journey of higher-purpose by being the best people for having known Kayla.
