“Our family is forever broken. Kylie, our sweet, loving, artistic, passionate little woman-in-the-making. We will never again see your smiling face, or hold you tight. We wont see you grow into a woman, or even a teenager. We won’t be at your wedding, although you'll still be at ours.

We wanted to take the focus off this trans-shooter lunatic and put it some of these beautiful souls we lost yesterday. So as hard as it was, we did a short interview with CTV News about her. Kylie, let the eyes of the world see you, and honor you, and grieve you with us. For you were truly wonderful, our sweet angel.

One of the articles mentions Maddie, but fails to point out that she is the 17-year-old hero who did CPR on my daughter for 45 minutes on the hallway floor. She was also the one who came to our home to break us the news of Kylie's fate when the police were telling us nothing at all. Thank-you you Maddie, you are truly a hero and unbelievably brave. People like you deserve the headlines, not this creep.

Kylie, our world will never be the same without you. We will miss your crafting messes, your beautiful little on-pitch hum when you are singing softly while drawing. Knoxx will never play Minecraft with you again, Ethan will never again bug you for stealing his style. You are gone, but i know beside us in spirit always. Our family will grieve you forever. We love you so much. Rest easy, Kiddo.” Lance
