Kala was a very special little girl, known for her infectious laughter and boundless curiosity. Today we celebrated her life. Guests joined together to sing “Happy Birthday”, a bittersweet melody that resonated with love and remembrance. It was truly a beautiful tribute to a young girl whose dreams were still unfolding. In an honorary gesture of love, family and friends took her on a final victory lap, a nod to the countless times she joyfully rode in her “Chariot” as her father participated in competitive racing. This symbolic farewell was a reflection of the spirited joy that Kala brought to life, reminding everyone that she will forever be racing alongside them in their hearts.
