Cook Southland Funeral Chapel - McGrogan(2017)
March 15, 1988 ~ October 14, 2017
 
It is with utter sadness that we say goodbye to our sweet girl, Kayle Leigh McGrogan. She was loved so much by her amazing common-law man, Sean O'Beirn;  her mother and father, Sherry and Andy McGrogan and her brother, Ryan. Our little beauty's body finally gave out after years of struggle and pain related to type 1 diabetes and the complications of that terrible disease. Kayle was an incredible human being who cared deeply about all around her, had a tremendous sense of humour and a love for animals especially her dogs, Etney and Halo. She has an amazing extended family and a great number of beautiful friends that she cared deeply about and who cared about and for her. She also was a person who held justice in high regard and had a deep respect for the men and woman of the Medicine Hat Police Service who along with the paramedics did a very special job of attending her residence on Saturday and finding her passed and already in heaven praying for all of us. We are having a small remembrance and prayer session for family and close friends at Cook Southland Funeral Chapel, 901 - 13 Street S.W., Medicine Hat on Wednesday, October 18, 2017, from 7:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. A?Celebration of Kayle’s life will be held at Hillcrest Evangelical Church, 3785 - 13 Avenue S.E., Medicine Hat on Thursday, October 19, 2017, at 1:00 p.m. with Pastor Steve Pahl officiating. A Private Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery with a time of fellowship thereafter at Hillcrest Church where we, as a family, look forward to meeting with everyone there to share fond memories and fellowship. Please honour Kayle by wearing what you love... she was all about bling!  In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue through their website,       www.rockymountainanimalrescue.com-now.

    Sherry, Andy, Ryan and Sean:
    "The Hush of Heaven holds precious Kayle in God's loving arms." It is with great sadness that we watch as you say goodbye...... "What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say goodbye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget." -- Author unknown

    Hello Kayle's family and friends, I never had the opportunity to meet Kayle, the dog rescue organization I run and founded recently received in her memory from the firefighters association in Medicine Hat, a donation in her name. Her tribute made me cry, so very choked up. Her life cut short, a beautiful girl inside and out. I have no doubt the grief her family now feels. We at Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue are so honored by her gift to us in lieu of flowers, to support our rescuing of homeless dogs. Thank you Kayle and her family. We are actually currently in Mexico rescuing homeless dogs and helping a lady living in poverty with her 50 plus rescued dogs hoping they'll get adopted. We are taking 5 from her back to Canada. In kaylee's name, these dogs will be saved. It doesn't cost much to help dogs in Mexico, far far less expensive than in Canada. We are truly touched by Kayle. Sincerely, Rory O'neill, director and founder of Rocky Mountain Animal Rescue (in Alberta)

    To Andy, Sherry and Ryan I am so absolutely sorry and heart broken for all of you at this terrible time. I have thought of you so much in the last weeks and cannot find the right words even now to express my sympathy. Kayle was a wonderful girl who had the unfortunate struggle of a life with diabetes. She struck me like the type of person who made the most of her good days and had a lovely personality. My prayers will be with you and all the extended family in the days ahead. I would have been at Kayle's funeral if I could have but my health is not good at the moment. I was there in spirit sending strength and prayers. Sincerely Mae Bolger

    Sorry for your loss, I can't express how sad my heart is to hear about a fellow Type 1 Brittle Diabetic who lost their battle at a young age, and their family who had to say goodbye too soon to their loved sister/ Daughter/ Partner. I hope that one day this disease will no longer claim the lives of loved ones because a cure will be found and made freely available.

    I was so saddened to hear of Kayle’s passing. She was a beautiful young woman. I enjoyed it when she came for sleepovers with Laura. She had such a positive outlook and vivacious energy. I cannot even begin to imagine your grief. Know that hundreds of people that were even briefly blessed by Kayle remember her with love.
