the *about* section on her fb memorial page:

We have lost on this earth a creative, beautiful, strong, loving, and young lady. Kayla Nicole Lodes took her own life on the morning of November 18, 2012. She was 16 and a half years old.
Description
Do we know why Kayla took her own life? Do we know what she was thinking as she did so? No, we don't. We wish we could turn back time and talk to her just once more to give her a shred of hope and let her know how very loved she was and is. But we can't. All we can do now is pray with hope that we can offer resources to those hurting and in need.

thats really sad. :(

and the last update on her fb page:

Do you or someone you know like to golf? We are in the process of hosting a golf tournament in Kayla's name to be held this fall. All proceeds from the tournament will go towards an organization in Tarrant county that works with survivors of suicide. Please check back on this page or www.kaylalodes.net
for more details.

its nice to know that her family is doing something to help others in her honor. <3


i have to ask, though...how did she have access to a gun?
