I found this note on my desk: “Hey Gdad. I love you moresterest.” That meant “more” to the nth degree!  Karson was loving, thoughtful, and had an overflowing spirit.

Karson lived more in her 19 years than most people do in 80. She was loved by her family, friends, fellow church members and coworkers.

Like her favorite tie-dyed t-shirt, Karson was authentic, laid back, colorful, and full of life. She was quick to love those who needed it most.

Karson Bailey was the epitome of selfless, unwavering love for all. She loved with all her heart and didn’t hesitate to tell or show you.

Karson would save a kitten in the street. I know – I met the kitten. She’d see a need and meet it with love and grace.

Karson was a lion, so fierce to protect the ones she loved and wild at heart. A beautiful soul inside and out.

Karson was always smiling and never met a stranger. A kinder soul could not be found..she changed the world in her short time here!

Fun loving and spunky. A creative old soul. Equally as beautiful inside as out. A precious child of God. Always and Forever my #1

Karson was honest, inspiration, funny, artistic, and beyond beautiful. She cared deeply for those around her and always went the extra mile to see someone smile.

Beautiful, encouraging and hilarious. Loving and loved. She had the power to make you laugh until you peed your pants and a contagious confidence.

She was an amazing daughter and the best big sister in the whole wide world!

Compassionate soul, hippie spirit, fierce, loyal, passionate, patriotic. Lover of Jesus, family and friends. Protector of those in need.

Karson had the most beautiful soul of anyone I’ve ever met. Her presence was such a light, and I know she continues to be a light in this world.
