Always be intentional with people. Every moment is an opportunity to love like Jesus. Always bring light, love, and joy wherever you go!
Kaely was on my very first mission trip to Honduras. We had such an incredible trip! Some of my favorite parts were simply just the late nights in our hotel, us girls just laughing our heads off at the most random things. And in true Kaely fashion, she loved everyone we encountered on that trip so well.
I will never forget our senior Disney trip! Our group had so much fun—ESPECIALLY me, Kaely, and Rylee❤️
I remember it rained so hard on our Epcot day, but we were committed to making the most of our trip! When many people went back to their rooms early for the day, we stayed all day and had a blast running around in the rain.
We had such a special trip all together, and it reminds me how much Kaely brought joy wherever she went. Even on a rainy day, she made the most of it and brought fun & life to a rather dreary day!
I remember watching Kaely volunteering in the kids classrooms at church. She was so good with the first time kids who were uneasy. She greeted them with a beautiful smile and put them at ease right away. I’ve missed seeing her ❤️
Kaely came to our ministry, Global Ventures to do her job shadowing her senior year. She had a huge heart for missions and reaching kids so we connected big time! She always had a special place in my heart!! I always felt there was something very special about Kaely!! She will be missed!!! We are continuously praying for the whole family!! Much Love, Martine, John, Andrew & David Smithwick.
