Taylor, Kyla, and Katelyn were 15, 13, and 10 1/2 respectively when their mom passed of metastatic breast cancer on the morning of 10.21.2014. Each of the “kids” are lifers at St. Andrew’s Episcopal School (SAS), meaning they started their journeys at this amazing school and community in 1st grade and continued through graduation as seniors. Taylor graduated in 2017, Kyla in 2020, and Katelyn is graduating in 2023.
One of the beautiful traditions at SAS is the “senior homily,” an address given by seniors, as well as faculty and staff, during chapel. On the anniversary of their mom’s passing, each gave a Senior Homily in their mom’s memory. Taylor gave his in 2016 on the two-year anniversary; Kyla gave hers in 2019 on the five-year anniversary; and Katelyn gave hers this past fall in 2022 on the eighth anniversary.
