Visa and Debbie, and Marissa I just don't know what to say I am devastated about this my heart just aches. You did an amazing job with Kai, he was always polite, funny and so helpful. Keith had such an amazing trip with your family down south. Kai will never be forgotten! Love Jody

    I will never forget when my father bought a sabb from your family. In the passengers side door Kai wrote his name in black ink. We never removed it because I told my father he was my friend and I wanted it there. I was in his grade but we went to different schools. He will be missed very much. sorry isn't enough, I know. All I can do is pray and keep him and your family in my prayers.
