Kaydence attended the Philippi Head start. She loved school and absolutely adored her friends and teachers (Ms. Monique & Ms. Brittany). School was a place where she could let go and just be herself. Kaydence was a very smart girl for her age. She could count to 12; sing all her ABC’s knew all her colors, shapes, and sizes, etc... She was definitely a beautiful, gifted little angel.
Kaydence loved to dance and sing. She loved to color. She just adored all her family and friends.She loved to go for long walks, and just being outside. She loved to wear her hair down and feel like a princess. Kaydence had a great love for books and learning. She loved just everything and everybody. She was full of love. Oh and for the people, that knew her well, you cannot forget how funny she was. How she could brighten anyone’s day with just a flutter of those long magnificent eyelashes of hers. Kaydence you will NEVER be forgotten. We all love you
From Mommy: You were my sunshine, my light, and my life. You lifted me up in my times of sorrow, and kept me strong in my times of weakness. You were always my number 1. Mommy misses you so much more than I can even explain. Words cannot express the love I had and still have for you. You were always my little angel and now you really are one.
Friends will be received at the Wright Funeral Home 216 N. Walnut St. Philippi on Saturday October 30, from 12-6 p.m. and on Sunday October 31, 8 a.m.- 2 p.m. the service hour with Pastor Jesse Mesa officiating. Interment will follow in the Mt. Olive Cemetery.

A sympathy card has been sent to the family of Kaydence AnnMarie Sandy-Church c/o Wright Funeral Home funeral home.
Deep from our hearts come our sympathies and prayers for you and your family. It is hard to even imagine what you are going through and will continue to go through. We know in our hearts and souls that Kaydence is sitting on Jesus's lap right now saying a prayer for her mommy and daddy and asking Jesus to give them a hug and let them know that she is okay. Everyday her and Jesus go for walks in the woods and play down by the river. She gets to fly through the clouds with her angels and every night Jesus will hold her tight and tell her a bedtime story and sing the most beautiful bedtime song. She lays down her head on his shoulder and he will hold her till she falls asleep as her kisses her on the forehead and tells her how much he loves her and her mommy and daddy.
Joey and Erika – our thoughts and prayers have been with you both. Very sorry that you all are going through this! We love you and we are here when you need us!
