Kaylee was the first person I called when something good happened and when something bad happened.  For the past 12 years, she has been a dear friend, confidante, and my most stalwart cheerleader. I can’t even begin to fathom my life without her in it.  But I hear her voice in my head, and I know that I always will.

We met and bonded at ZyLAB and in the muddy fields of the Netherlands.  Dinners together, cocktails, text messages, and long phone calls bonded us.  I will miss my friend forever.
