I hope to change that next year, Kayla Fest has been a true joy for me while also a true heartbreak, it kept my mind occupied during a time when I could not think about anything else, and I believe the same for everyone who involved themselves with me on this journey. Originally we did it to raise money for funeral expenses and we succeeded, with the help of friends and strangers like Jerry from #
Expofive Kenny Dewees from and just so many more people and businesses, we paid for most everything we needed to pay for. The next year we did it in memory of Kayla Ratliff, we called on friends and strangers again to raise money for our event but this time we gave the proceeds to March Of Dimes a charity dear to me and my wife Lindsey Parker for their help with our daughter and premature babies all over, it felt great to do it and I cant wait to do it agin! This year I will be celebrating the life of Kayla Ratliff in my own way and I hope you will all join me by writing a letter to Kayla, please tell her something from your heart, the first time you met her, the last time you saw, the best time you spent with her, or maybe how different life is with out her. And please share the letter with the KaylaFest page, please tag anyone you think may want to do the same or anyone you think may want to read letters to her. I know she is special to a lot of people and I would like to let everyone know how special she is.
