Obituary of Kayla Mennie

Our Kayla was taken from us suddenly on Friday, September 5, 2008 at the age of 21 years. A friend to everyone, her free spirit, love of life and creativity defined her. Lover of all things outdoors, especially the water and special times fishing with her Dad. Her beauty within and her giving nature made her easy to like and to love. In her short life, she touched many people and made her family, especially her Mom, proud in all that she did and the person that she was. No matter where she was, the special bond with her brother Scott ensured they were never apart in heart and mind. As in life, Kayla will always be with her special love Daniel; living for and through each other, they savoured each and every moment together. Born in Calgary, AB, she leaves to mourn and remember her uniqueness, her mother Sally; father Willie; brother Scott; sister Lanie; grandparents Shirley and Scottie Mennie and May and Bob Glover; aunts and uncles, cousins, great aunts and uncles, and many good friends she loved deeply.
