BOISE, Idaho – is still mourning the loss of their daughter but also seeks to honor her memory on what would have been her 23rd birthday on June 8.
On Saturday, June 8, the Goncalves family invites communities nationwide to observe “Kaylee Jade Day” to remember Kaylee Goncalves. They encourage everyone to continue Kaylee’s legacy of love and joy by engaging in activities that bring happiness, whether for yourself or a loved one.
Highlighted activities reminiscent of Kaylee’s preferences include enjoying lunch with a friend or family member, planning a vacation or holiday, trying out a new recipe, treating oneself to mimosas and appetizers at a local restaurant, embarking on a new hiking adventure, witnessing the sunrise, reconnecting with distant friends or family via FaceTime, and spreading kindness at a favorite drive-thru.
Kaylee Goncalves was among the victims of the University of Idaho murders. Her family urges people to keep her memory alive by celebrating her love for life and adventure.
Participants are encouraged to share their acts of kindness and celebration for Kaylee on social media using the hashtag #KayleeJadeDay.
