    Dearest Kaeli,

    How can I thank you for looking out for Jessie that early morning several weeks ago.
    It took some time for us to realize it was you, but when we did, it was a big “DUH” moment of how did we not know sooner the message you were sending.
    Thank you my dear for looking out.
    We know now that you are more than just in our hearts but in our lives forever.
    We miss you terribly.

    Hey Kalie!
    Everyday since I left knox I’ve always thought about how you were , how school was , all the typical things friends check up on each other. I’m sorry I didn’t called as often as I wished I did. I remember when we first talked about where we came from and how we were both adopted and how everyone looks at you differently because you dont look like your parents. Just because I may have the same skin color, it doesnt mean that people don’t look at me differently too. That was when we first became friends we shared stories about horses, family and friends. I remember when you came to my house when my horse got sick. You were always looking on the brighter side of everything. You told me everythig would be fine and I always knew it would be . I am sorry it took me so long to write something on you wall. I didnt know if I could do it or not. I miss you everyday and think about you at least twice a day . My thoughts and prayers are with your family as with you. You will always be my light in my darkness and you may be gone but you will always be in my heart .

    Love
    Sarah

  • Kaeli,
    I spoke to your Dad yesterday. We agreed that you would be visiting Dad and Mom soon as a butterfly or a bird. It is fitting that one so beautiful and sweet as you should come back to all of us in a manner so gentle. Our little valley around Sweet Hollow Road will never be the same. Please visit soon.
    I believe in butterflies.
    Love,
    Steve

    Kaeli,

    I think about you and miss you more and more every single day. I found pictures of us from back when we were like 12 years old at the Hampton classic and its so hard to believe that you’re not here with us anymore. I know you are watching over us in heaven. You will always be in my heart.

    Love always,
    Larissa

  • God wants to USE YOU to make a difference in the world. He wants to work through you. What matters is not the duration of your life, but the donation of it. Not how long you lived, but how you lived… “The Lord will work out His plans for my life…for Your loving kindness Lord continues forever…”Psalm 138:8

  • Hi All,

    I didn’t mean to post the above message without a personal note. Somehow I sent it without meaning to!

    I wanted to let all of you know about the Slow Food “Eat-In”, because I know it is something that Kaeli would want to support. It is a community picnic, to promote healthy food in schools.
    As Kaeli’s chef from the Waldorf School, I know how much she appreciated good food and would want to be an advocate for this issue.
    Anyway, we would appreciate the support!

    Thanks,
    Bhavani

  • Hi All,

    Slow Food Huntington and Starflower Experiences is happy to announce that we will be sponsoring an “Eat In”, as part of Slow Food USA’s Day of Action, called “Time for Lunch”, a national campaign to get real food into schools . It will take place at Manor Farm, on 210 Manor Road in Huntington, and will run from Noon- 4pm on Labor Day, September 7th.

    The Time for Lunch Campaign is our opportunity to bring attention to the re-authorization of the Child Nutrition Act. This fall, Congress will decide whether to update the Child Nutrition Act, the piece of legislation that determines what 30 million kids eat every day in school. By promoting healthier foods in schools, we can start good eating habits early and bring down health care costs in the long run.

    So let’s all come together and create a huge picnic! Let’s eat delicious food at Manor Farm. It’s that simple. This will be just one of hundreds of “Eat-In’s” across the country to help raise awareness for this issue. We will have some petitions to sign, great music, some speakers and a volleyball net…but the only thing you are asked is to bring is something home-made with quality ingredients to share with your friends and family. There is fresh water available for drinking on the farm, so we want to keep this a plastic bottle-free event.

    Other assorted notes:

    Share this info with friends! This is a national campaign and the more events, the bigger the impact…so, if you’d like to host your own picnic closer to home, please let us know and we’ll get you more info.

    We realize many of you will be away for the long weekend. Even if you can’t join the picnic, please share this invite with your friends who will be on Long Island and like good food and a chance to lounge outdoors.

    To learn more about the “Time for Lunch” platform, go to; http://www.slowfoodusa.org/index.php/campaign/time_for_lunch/the_platform/

    We look forward to seeing you at the “Eat In” If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail either of us.

    Thank you Slowly,
    Bhavani and Ann

  • I am here to honor Kaelie and celebrate her life with you. The outpouring from you, her friends and family, have made us in mae feel humbled and grateful to be a part of her story. Thank you for including us, our thoughts and prayers are with each of you.

  • Sue Condron says:

    Kaeli,

    Thank you for your compassion, humaneness, gentleness, intellect, dignity, helpfulness, thoughtfulness, understanding, unselfishness, grace, heart, charity and respectfulness.

    You are deeply missed.w

  • Nicole Mills says:

    Kaeli’s loss is felt by everyone who knew her, however briefly. I remember many late nights at Rice Farms when Kaeli and Linda or Peter and I would be the only ones there. Her smile was infectious and her cheerful personality was like a blaze of light. She was truly an extraordinary young woman, and is deeply missed.

    With love and sadness for Kaeli’s family and friends,

    Nicole Mills and “Petey”

    Kaeli,
    I came away from the memorial realizing how humble you were. All who spoke, added something that I never knew about you. You touched the lives of everyone who knew you, and maybe even a few strangers with your radiant smile.
    But guess what ???? I remember a time when you were actually annoyed with your mom. It was when the drill team was in the indoor. You just got Sundance and he was not cooperating. It made you a little nervous. Well, your mom wouldn’t let you go for pizza. You had to ride Sundance in the outdoor. I
    saw you roll your eyes at your mom lol. All went well and you were once again you were confident and smiling again. I feel confident that Amanda is going to Centenary. A school that you chose has to be among the best. I will miss you forever. Jane (Amands and Kate’s grandma)

  • Marianne Rose Weber says:

    Kaeli,

    When we went to Waldorf, your presence and kindess is what made my day that more special and happy. You will be forever missed and remembered.

  • Emma Cary says:

    i remeber the first time i met you at a friends house and i was a little shy since i didnt know you and you just started talking to me with a huge smile on your face even though there was kind of a big age difference. Then a few years later you moved to rice farms and we talked basically everyday then i would always used to go down to the barn you were in and you always had that big huge smile on your face that i miss tons.When i was upset you made me so happy every time i talked to you. I miss you kaeli and you will never be forgotten

  • Gabitha says:

    Not only did I lose a bestfriend but I also lost a sister. The memorial was so beautiful and made me realize more so what a truly awesome person you were.I learned a lot from you and am working hard to be a better person and even though i will never be as great as you I’m going to try my best. It will be weird not getting new nicknames every hour from you and your dad “little chicken”. Gosh I miss my dumb crazy nervous silly smart cowish bestfriend but i know when i look up i can smile at you. “love burns brighter than sunshine and so does our friendship”

  • Jackie McMahon says:

    Kaeli,
    Today I thought of the last time we walked the cross country course at Good Shepard. I remember being amazed that you jumped over these huge solid fences and I told you I’d be too afraid to try, you smiled as you always did and said one day DC and I would be able to do them too. You were always so optimistic and positive. I laughed because my goal for the day was just to keep DC in the dressage ring. That day however, probably because of your faith and positivity DC stayed in the dressage ring and had a lovely training level one test. I will think of you always especially as I go towards a fence I’m afraid to jump and as I try to remember my courses. I will try to earn the faith you had in me and I will never stop trying to live the message you gave us. I love you so much girlie and miss you so badly.

  • I asked Mae to write a song for Kaeli. Both Kaeli and myself shared a great love for Mae.

    Please comment on the post so they consider writing a song for her. I know that Kaeli would have loved it!

  • Sierra Hajdu says:

  • Regina Hajdu says:

    This very special girl will be miss tremendously by all who have had the pleasure of her friendship, beauty (inside and out) her infectious smile and her genuine warmth. Every once in a while you come across someone who truly shines. I for one will not be surprised when the Sun, Stars and the Moon shine brighter. I’m honored to have known you. With a very heavy heart I will always remember you.

  • Melissa French says:

    i love you kaeli.. i will miss you always

  • Patricia Earle says:

    My thoughts, my love, my prayers are always with you. You are and will always be close to my heart.

  • Sara Sacco says:

    If tears could build a stairway,
    And memories a lane,
    I’d walk right up to Heaven
    And bring you home again.
