Kaya Lynn Huling was born November 14, 2002 in Rapid City, South Dakota, the daughter of Heather Nelson and Robby Huling. She and her mother made their home in Rapid City . She was dedicated to Christ at Bethel Assembly of God Church in Rapid City.
In December 2003, they moved to Phoenix, Arizona. While in Phoenix, they made their home with Tyler Watson.
Kaya and her mother were very close, spending every waking moment together, and lived each day as it came their way. Kaya was energetic, fun loving, and so full of life. She talked all the time in her own little language. In her short time, she touched many many lives. She loved being outside, swimming, and playing with her babies and toys. She loved playing with other little kids, running, and laughing with them. Her favorite games were peek-a-boo and patty-cake, and just recently she learned how to blow kisses.
She will be truly missed by all.

Heather and Robbie,
I cant even describe how I feel. No words can describe the pain, but I hope that you find in your heart to deal with this tragedy. All I know is that God planned that because he needed her with him. She's always been a beautiful angel here with us on earth, now she's an angel in God's hands!! GOD BLESS YOU BOTH and your family!
With love and sorrow,

Heather, it was almost a year ago that I saw you with your precious little angle. I just remember how happy and content you were in your new role as mom. It was evident by your smile that Kaya was filling your life with so much joy and happiness. Words simply fall short to tell you how very sorry I am for your loss. Please know that I am praying for you and asking God to comfort you and surround you with family & friends who will help you through this incredible painful time. ~ Crystal Martinez Philip, SD (5/24/2004)
