I am truly saddened by our eDiscovery community’s tremendous loss with Kaylee’s passing. I remember not long after I had entered the realm of eDiscovery and found ACEDS, Kaylee was such a warm and inviting presence on a number of calls I attended. Then I was able to meet her and Mary in person at an ILTACON one year (2012?) and came to find out they were both doing all of this in my backyard so to speak – we all hailed from St. Paul, MN. I should have seen it all along in the way they had such “MN Nice” presence and helped build community in each interaction. My two kids still talk to this day about the Virtual EDRM Conference that was hosted online in that 3D space, taking virtual speedboats around the island and kicking soccer balls while dancing with emotes to other virtual attendees. Those are memories that will be cherished beyond even Kaylee’s immediate circle of influence. Rest in Peace, Kaylee, you are sorely missed.
