Payton (11 years old) was larger than life! Her smile and quick wit made everyone feel special. She had the world at her fingertips. Her passing on October 31, 2022 has sent shockwaves. It is devastating, unnatural and unfair. We ask ourselves how could this happen? Behind Payton's smile was a severe medical condition that ultimately took her from this world. She suffered from epilepsy. Although Payton's body could no longer continue in this world, we have comfort in knowing that her spirit lives strong. She is now God's angel! Her spirit will protect us and continue to bring us love and joy. Dear Payton, although you are not physically here, we feel you, we honor you, we will always remember you.

Let us all come together and help Payton's family grieve and relieve them from the financial pressures that come with an unexpected passing. For more information on the viewing and funeral, please visit: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/tampa-fl/payton-lyle-10992376
