I’m so grateful to Kayla for creating this memorial page for Sierra…It’s such a beautiful way to honor her and keep her light present in the world. I may not remember every specific moment Sierra and I shared, but I’ll never forget her energy, the way she could brighten a day just by being there. Just remembering her smile and her laugh is enough to put a smile on my face. I don’t think that a single person who met sierra didn’t feel a little happier after being around her for even just a brief time. She’s one of those magical souls that are so rare to find. I will always feel lucky to call her my friend. 

Now that I’ve become good friends with her sister, Kayla, I see so much of Sierra in her — in her smile, in her eyes, and in the way she carries herself. There are moments where it feels like Sierra is right there with us, and it brings comfort and a quiet kind of joy. The bond they shared was strong, and it still shines through.

Thank you, Kayla, for keeping her spirit alive and for allowing us all to feel connected to Sierra again. 🤍

Soul Mate

I was so young , So were you

I was 8 or 9, You were too

We would swim all day, At the fox hole

That's where we first traded

Pieces of our souls

You were the very first 

Girl I had ever kissed

I was nervous

But I didn't miss

You'd come in my life

To sweep me off my feet

We would pick up, Where we left off

Without missing a beat

We would always be,Singing the same tune

Almost like singing a song

Playing in another room

Life would pull us apart

Sometimes for years

But just like from the start

I was always yours

I fell for you again , Over and over

We would go back to the start

And than start all over

You showed me how to love

You and myself

You put me above

Anybody else

Everytime you moved away

You would later come back

Somehow we seemed to stay

Always attached

We would connect

Then you would have to leave

Until you came back

To untangle my weave

We grew together

We lost ourselves 

We found each other

In heaven and in hell

Then one day, You left me alone

To be a stray

All on my own

You took with you, Half my love and my soul

Im at rock bottom

Down in a hole

The pieces of me

Are Pieces of you

Im broken and beat

Im black and blue

I see you for a brief

Minute or two

a different dream

But it always you

Ill hold my breath

Ill struggle on

Ill embrace death

For you, Sierra Dawn

You are my light and dark

The stars in the sky

My ups and downs

The reason I tried

I hope I can learn

To be stronger than my pain

So I can move on

Maybe love again

If I could again feel

Just a fraction of you

Maybe I could deal

With some of my blues

Reach your hand down

Hold your breath

Pull my heart out

Of my chest

Half of me is gone

The Half that was the best

Sierra Dawn

Lay to rest

Forever,

Me

Forever,

You
