(Shaun) Kaleigh is one of our four children,
our second child. She moved around a lot until she was ten and then
we settled down here in The Woodlands and-- and she grew up here and she was full
of energy, full of great ideas and loved life and very excited.
And when she was little,
she was very mischievous
and she would say to me, Daddy,
"I'm tricky like a leprechaun" and just so full of life.
(Selme) Very curious. Naturally curious.
(Shaun) Yeah. Very naturally curious and very outgoing.
(Shaun) And--
(Selme) All in. Like, anything she did,
she was all in.
(Shaun) So when she got involved in
something, she--she threw herself into it and she put a lot of time and effort
into it. Kaleigh had a great sense of humor and loved to entertain people with stories and jokes.
(Grace) I mean, she would do anything. She
said she would do any dare. She was
extremely funny. We used to call her
Tina Fey. We used to pretend that she was going to go work for SNL
one day. We would make videos and like, dress up in costumes and she would do all
these characters and everybody was laughing with her.
People were always laughing with Kaleigh.
(Allie) When I think of Kaleigh, I think of laughter.
Her laugh is like one of my favorite memories.
(Grace) There are certain things that I'll do or like things I laugh at or even the
way that I laugh or the way that I experience joy, where I don't feel like
it's me experiencing it, like I feel like it is the piece of
Kaleigh that still lives in me.
